Bengaluru: Traffic police to install cameras to check speeding, drag racing instances

Bengaluru: Bengaluru traffic police are planning to install speed monitoring cameras capable of recording registration plates of the vehicles as the city is witnessing instances of drag racing and speeding on empty roads often at night.
The traffic police have identified 14 flyovers in the city where the cameras will be installed in the initial phase.
As instances of drag racing and speeding on empty roads are reported post-midnight, there will be no traffic police present on the road. In order to tackle this, cameras will be installed.
In the last Karnataka budget, Rs 699 crore has been set aside to install 7,500 surveillance cameras. They will enable the Bengaluru police to introduce facial recognition technology and machine-learning-based video monitoring.
A senior official told HT Times, 7,500 cameras will include fixed day-and-night surveillance cameras, body-worn cameras, and drones equipped with high-resolution image capturing devices. Facial recognition cameras and registration plate recognition devices will also be procured by the police.
All cameras will be connected to a 40-seat Command and Control Centre, with two centers that will be mobile.
