‘Interceptor’ can detect traffic violations through multiple cameras
MYSORE: The city will soon have the latest generation traffic enforcement vehicle called “Interceptor” hosted on a Maruti Versa platform with state-of-the-art technology that can capture traffic rule violation in an automated mode. The vehicle, designed at the Centre for Analysis and Research in Road Safety at the Institute of Road Traffic Education (IRTE), New Delhi, is fitted with Lightfama-3, which is a laser-based speed measuring device with digital video and still image documentation system, that can measure speeds from a distance of one km and document the vehicle number plate from 150 metres. The sophisticated surveillance equipment system was first introduced on a temporary basis two years ago, but the institute has officially sanctioned a vehicle for the Mysore police and this will be permanently stationed in the city. This IRTE innovation detects traffic violations through multiple cameras and a laser-based speed measuring device and also has alcohol and pollution gas analysers. Other features include long-range operation durability, electronic on board auxiliary power recharging system, air conditioning for equipment compliance and crew comforts, recording on hard disc, DVD, 90 degree panning capability, high zoom digital image capture and large flip down LCD monitor for violation playback and education. The night mode and all-weather enforcement capability is the new dimension to this latest version of the Interceptor. Its introduction is expected to minimise traffic law violations and the surveillance vehicle will not only record the driving track or behaviour of road users, but the erring motorists will also be shown the violations as proof and penalised. The Interceptor vehicle in Mysore will be mobile and IRTE will provide a comprehensive training for the police personnel on its use according to a memorandum signed between the Department of Road Transport and Highways and the IRTE. The vehicle will be delivered to the Mysore police on July 7, and K.R. Srinivasan, Director-General and Inspector-General of Police, will flag off the Interceptor. IRTE president Rohit Baluja and his team members will train the traffic crew.
