In a major step toward smarter and more efficient traffic management, the Pune Traffic Police have launched an AI-based traffic violation detection system to automatically identify and penalize offenders.
The system, introduced as a Proof of Concept (PoC) on Fergusson College Road, uses AI-powered cameras to monitor violations such as illegal parking and wrong-side driving, enabling swift action without manual intervention.
The initiative was formally launched under the leadership of Pune Police Commissioner Amitesh Kumar, Additional Commissioner Ranjan Kumar Sharma, and other officials in collaboration with Sensen AI, represented by Vijay Khupse. Vehicles parked in no-parking zones or obstructing traffic for over three minutes will be flagged automatically, with real-time alerts sent to the traffic control room for penalty issuance.
Manoj Patil, Additional Commissioner of Police (East), stated, “Four AI-powered cameras have been installed on F.C. Road on an experimental basis for 90 days. After evaluation, further action will be proposed.”
This trial marks Pune’s first AI-driven traffic enforcement system, aiming to enhance road discipline, reduce manual workload, and improve public safety.
