Delhi Police Enhances Law & Order and Traffic Enforcement with Advanced ANPR System
The system analyzes video streams to identify and capture vehicle number plates, which are then relayed to the control room server and stored in the database
Delhi Police has implemented 535 Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) software across various locations in the city to enhance law and order, traffic enforcement, and vehicle tracking. Developed by Vehant Technologies, these advanced systems have been strategically installed based on crime mapping, covering areas under the jurisdiction of police stations such as Patparganj PS, Kalyanpuri PS, Dwarka Sector 23 PS, and Sultanpuri PS.
By integrating the ANPR system with police station control rooms, Delhi Police has established a more efficient process for traffic surveillance. The system analyzes video streams to identify and capture vehicle number plates, which are then relayed to the control room server and stored in the database. Security personnel can verify the plates against predefined criteria set by the police stations for traffic surveillance, law enforcement applications, and identification of hot-listed, stolen, suspected, and barred vehicles, contributing to citywide surveillance efforts.
Vehant Technologies, an AI/ML security surveillance pioneer and an incubator of IIT Delhi, is deploying the ANPR software licenses on a total of 535 cameras. Presently, 53 software licenses have been deployed at Patparganj PS, Kalyanpuri PS, Dwarka Sector 23 PS, and Sultanpuri PS, with the remaining licenses set to be deployed soon.
The ANPR system utilizes real-time optical character recognition technology to monitor vehicles and automatically recognize number plates, simplifying the identification process for security personnel when dealing with stolen, suspected, hot-listed, and wanted vehicles. The captured data is encrypted and transferred to the centralized server at the police stations' control rooms, facilitating effective surveillance and data management. Operating 24/7, the system stores the number plate information of all captured vehicles, enabling quick identification of offending vehicles and swift law enforcement actions. Additionally, the ANPR system can be utilized in the future to detect traffic rule violations such as wrong-way driving, triple riding, driving without helmets, and mobile phone usage while driving.
This new ANPR system is connected to the control rooms at the police stations, enabling continuous monitoring. The deployment of additional ANPR software represents a significant milestone in leveraging AI and ML-based solutions for traffic surveillance and law enforcement in Delhi.
