What is the roadmap ahead for INAI?
Traffic enforcement is one of several mobility applications we are working on. Our dash-cam-based solution is called Viola Dash Cam.
We also have a separate system that analyses CCTV footage and flags traffic violations, which has been piloted with the Medak police.
Dash cams offer an advantage because they are relatively inexpensive and mobile. Unlike fixed CCTV infrastructure, they do not require dedicated installation at every location and can be moved between vehicles.
We are in discussions with other police departments, including in Punjab and Haryana, although nothing has been finalised yet.
The model is unconventional because patrol and towing vehicles are already moving through different areas, allowing the cameras to capture violations as they happen. In that sense, it acts like an ‘invisible cop’, while still relying on human verification before enforcement action.
But our objective is not to punish people. We want to reduce road accidents.
If there are better ways of changing driving behaviour without issuing challans, we would be happy to explore them. For now, technology can make enforcement more consistent and scalable.
