Delhi Airport roads now under AI traffic surveillance

The roads around Delhi’s Indira Gandhi International Airport are now under tighter surveillance. In a bid to crack down on speeding and dangerous driving near the airport, the Delhi Traffic Police, in collaboration with Delhi International Airport Limited (DIAL-GMR), has rolled out an automated e-challan enforcement system across the airport’s road network.

WhatTo monitor drivers racing through the multilane stretches around IGI Airport, authorities have installed 14 high-definition Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras at key points including Central Spine Road, the Cargo Terminal area, Rangpuri, the Centaur Hotel junction, Aerocity, the NSG junction, and the Terminal 1 exit road. Another 35 cameras are expected to be added soon to widen surveillance coverage and strengthen traffic enforcement.

How will the new cameras detect violations?

The system automatically detects violations such as overspeeding, illegal parking, wrong-side driving, triple riding, riding without a helmet, and red-light jumping. Once a violation is recorded, the data is routed through NIC systems and verified by traffic police personnel, following which e-challans are issued under existing traffic laws.
