RLVD systems in Visakhapatnam to control traffic violations

To regulate traffic violation in Visakhapatnam, the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation (GVMC) is installing smart signalling system across different locations in the city.

The system would be a part of the Smart City initiative and with regards to this, Red Light Violation Detection (RLVD) system are being installed at 10 different traffic junctions, on the national highways especially.

Cameras equipped in the system would help in detecting multiple traffic violations and immediately recognise vehicle numbers in real time and date.

Some of the sources said, “The challans for the violations of the safety norms will be sent through SMSes to the phones of the vehicle owners or sent to the address on which the vehicle is registered.”

Car Shed (Madhurawada), Hanumanthavaka, M.V.P. Double Road, VIP Road Junction, Satyam Junction, Tatichetlapalem, Muralinagar, Autonagar, Gajuwaka and Kurmannapalem are the locations where the RLVD systems are being equipped. The locations are within the limits of the Municipal Corporation.

The Red Light Violation Detection system works by the Greater Visakhapatnam Municipal Corporation are on fast pace and are expected to be completed by the end of this August.

Advanced speed laser guns to trap vehicles which are moving over speed and alcohol testing machines to trap drunk drivers are being bought to the city by the traffic police. On an average every year, the police have witnessed 150 deaths on the National Highways in the city. By maintaining stringent rules, the police want to decrease the accidents number on the Highways.
