With the implementation of the Red Light Violation Detection System (RLVDS) and Speed Violation Detection System (SVDS), including the Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), it is now expected to rein in traffic violators and check rash and reckless driving in the city.
Till date while seven RLVDS have been in place at Rupali Square, Kalpana Square, Airport Square, Nicco Park Square, Power House Square, Kalinga Hospital Square and Patia Square, at another 8-10 intersections RLVDS are going to be set up.
Similarly total six SVDS have been implemented so far at between AG and Capital Hospital Square, near Sainik School Square, near Baramunda on NH-16, Near Jaydev Vihar on NH-16, near Vani Vihar on NH-16 and near Raghunathpur. There is a plan to have three to four more locations to be added in near future.
In order to make people aware about the traffic rules and do other important announcements on road for the commuters Public Address System (PAS) has already been installed at seven intersections i.e. Rupali Square, Kalpana Square, Airport Square, Nicco Park Square, Power House Square, Kalinga Hospital Square and Patia Square. Similarly in order to detect and display speed on different city roads Radar Speed Signs (RSS) are also being placed at 10 locations across the city. The locations include: Shishu Bhawan Square, New Forest Park to Airport, Airport to Airport Square, Capital Hospital to AG Square, Power House to Governor House, Power House to Kalinga Stadium - The World, Maharshi College Square to Satya Nagar, Rasool Garh to Vani Vihar, Jaydev Vihar to CRPF and Barmunda to Khandagiri.
The violators of the enforcement would be issued ‘Smart Challans’ which they have to pay for the violations they made during the wrong driving. The ANPR will enable the violators to be given the penalty through the automatically generated ‘e-Challans.’
