Telangana RTA to set up ANPR cameras to streamline interstate vehicle checks
Crossing state borders in Telangana is set to become hassle-free, as the Regional Transport Authority (RTA) has decided to streamline interstate travel by installing Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras at 17 check posts across the state. The department will install 34 cameras approximately 500 metres to 1 km ahead of each check post to capture vehicle documentation , including tax payments, pollution certificates, fitness certificates, permits, and other essential paperwork. This information will then be relayed to Motor Vehicle Inspectors (MVI). The system will ensure that only vehicles lacking proper documentation are stopped at the check posts, while compliant vehicles may continue without delays at border crossings. The RTA's comprehensive plan includes the installation of 60 cameras in total, with 26 units to be placed near toll plazas and other strategic points. Lakhs of vehicles pass through check posts daily at locations such as Nagarjuna Sagar, Kodada, Alampur, Vishnupuram, Palvancha, and Zaheerabad. The current manual verification system is inefficient and causes traffic congestion as transport authorities inspect documentation. To resolve these issues, the Transport Department is implementing electronic enforcement systems. The ANPR cameras capture number plates and assess compliance with traffic regulations. Officials can access this data via specialised software. MVIs at the check posts receive details of vehicle numbers and any violations on their tablets, enabling them to stop only non-compliant vehicles, whilst allowing compliant motorists to continue their journey uninterrupted. According to RTA officials, IIIT Hyderabad has expressed interest in implementing the system. Authorities are currently assessing several prestigious institutions to entrust with this responsibility. "A proposal to install 60 ANPR cameras has been submitted to the state govt. The estimated cost of the initiative is 3.5 crore. This automated system will streamline vehicle inspections for officials by eliminating the need for manual checks. Moreover, motorists with complete documentation will be able to pass through check posts without delays," said M Chandrasekhar Goud, Joint Transport Commissioner (Vigilance & Enforcement). A few months ago, the RTA implemented an advanced surveillance system featuring AI-enabled CCTV cameras at its headquarters in Khairatabad, aimed at deterring unauthorised intermediaries operating within RTA premises. The RTA now plans to expand this surveillance system to all regional transport offices across the state. The system assigns unique identification codes to individuals detected by the cameras and records the frequency of their visits to RTA offices. This tracking mechanism assists authorities in identifying frequent visitors, particularly agents and brokers, by monitoring recurring identification codes.

Govt puts GPS trackers on over 6k heavy vehicles
The Sindh government has accelerated a drive to ensure installation of GPS trackers in heavy vehicles, including dumpers and water tankers, to enhance road safety and reduce traffic accidents in the metropolis. As of May 4, GPS tracking devices have been installed on at least 6617 heavy vehicles. These include 3,391 water tankers, 28 dumpers, 82 oil tankers, 214 passenger buses, and 214 small trucks. The initiative also extends to 2,763 large trucks and 137 trailers currently active on the city's roads. In parallel with the tracker initiative, the Traffic Police have stepped up enforcement actions against traffic violations, following directives from the chief minister.
