CCTV Project Across Mumbai City
This project envisages the implementation of
computerized video surveillance at 100 critical traffic
junctions in Mumbai for visual surveillance and incident
detection to facilitate effective management
The system shall combine the efficiency of video Detection
with the flexibility of PTZ cameras. The main function of this
system will be to collect real time videos from distant
cameras and transmit the footage via an optical fibre network
to a control room fitted with workstation PCs with various
application software.
The system shall enable the police to detect video incidents
using suitable algorithm providing for automatic traffic
pattern recognition. The system shall automatically detect
stopped vehicles on every lane type (traveling lane emergency
lane ramp) and under any traffic configuration (fluid
congestion stop go).
When an alert is detected the Video incident server will send
a command to the other PC workstation meant only for
surveillance to display the real time image from the camera.
Using this system will enable the police to identify offenders
and also ease traffic congestion at a particular junction by
deploying the nearest wireless van to the scene.
Variable Messaging System ( VMS )
Installation of Electronic Messaging Boards
in Mumbai.
With a view to provide all the
most recent information regarding traffic to the commuters.
Traffic Control Branch has started installation of Electronic
Messaging Boards at strategic locations in the city. These
boards are connected to the Traffic Control Room from where
latest information regarding congestion, bottlenecks, diversion
etc. is displayed.
The Intention is to keep the
motorists well informed & assist them to take their own
suitable decisions regarding their travel thereby assisting in
effective traffic management. Benefit of these boards are
highly visible particularly during emergencies, festivals like Ganesh Utsava / Navratra Utsav / Mount Mary fair, VIP / VVIP
movements etc.
