Abstract

Objective: Traffic enforcement systems are very important implementations of different technologies used worldwide. Collecting data of violators by the traffic police is not always feasible in the current system of practice in India, as they are not connected to the online database. Methods: This study introduces android based camera phone and tablet with latest mobile data network facility as a technical field tool for the police to issue or check the traffic law enforcement status with cost effective and rapid operational solution for present scenario. Findings: The traffic policeman is given an android mobile working on Mobile data technology. When a violator is stopped, he/she is asked to produce his/her driving license and other registration details. On the basis of these details, the device will be able to retrieve data relating to previous offences committed by the driver or the vehicle from its database. The terminal prints the tickets and it is updated online. Each device is capable of acting as a payment receiving station for any notice generated by any other device and issue the receipt. Application: Moreover, this study introduced a system that will also enable the policemen to know whether the vehicle involved in the traffic rule violation is stolen, the previous history of the vehicle or driver in accidents, and whether any notice from the traffic police is pending against the vehicle.
