The cities of today need innovative solutions to help address growing mobility challenges due to the increasing number of vehicles, as well as other environmental challenges, that lead to congestion and traffic incidents. These target solutions can be broadly addressed in the following categories:

Road safety and enforcement

Law enforcement must monitor and detect violations at traffic intersections and on highways with a system which automatically capture an image of the vehicle that violates the rules. Captured video and images are stored as evidence for future reference. Combined with the automated number plate recognition (ANPR) feature, this can be used to automatically identify violators and generate penalties as per local regulations, thus reducing such violations and improving traffic flow. The following violations can be detected:

• Red light violation detection
• Speed violation detection
• Wrong-way violation

Road traffic monitoring

Detect the queue of vehicles at the intersection and identify additional details to categorize the traffic. This information can be integrated with adaptive traffic light systems. This will allow for intelligent control of traffic light by the adaptive traffic light systems based on the queue of the vehicles at the intersection. The following additional information can also be gathered to gain more insights:

• Vehicle count and type identification: Two wheelers, four wheelers (cars, trucks, vans), trailers, etc.
• Unauthorized stopping
• Tracking vehicles of interest
