A road safety cameras enhanced with tools A.I wreaking havoc on one of the busiest roads between Devon and Cornwall, two cities in England where the radar has detected almost 300 traffic offenses in the first three days since it was operational.

In these areas, local police have gone further in their use Artificial intelligence to serve the security of citizens. Remember that England is one of the countries where its citizens are monitored the most, using millions of cameras in every corner of the country, especially in London.

Now these traffic cameras, more than just measuring speed, use AI to identify driver violations who uses a cell phone while driving a car, or does not wear a seat belt. Acusensus, the company responsible for developing this technology, said in the first 72 hours the system detected 117 cell phone-related crimes and 180 seat belt-related crimes. The total is almost 300 violations.

A system that can be exported worldwide

This new standalone system can be deployed across multiple locations and provides 24/7 monitoring. Of course, though The camera uses AI to flag possible crimes, all images are then reviewed by humans, Acusensus said. If the crime has been correctly identified, the driver may be sent a warning letter or notification of plans for prosecution, depending on the severity of the offense committed.

Initial results from our latest launch show that there are also issues with mobile phone use while driving, which is dangerous and illegal. We’re using this new technology to send a clear message to anyone who continues to use their phone while driving: we’re going to get you. We know that distracted driving is a major cause of accidents, and that’s why using a cell phone while driving is illegal.

We also know that wearing a seat belt reduces a driver’s risk of death in a road collision by about 50%; However, almost a third of people who died in car crashes in the UK in 2021 were not wearing seat belts, the highest level recorded since recent records began.

By adopting new technology such as systems AsensisusUK law enforcement agencies have an opportunity to improve compliance with these laws and, as a consequence, make road trips safer, both for drivers and for those who may be involved in accidents through the fault of other drivers.

This is not the first time this has happened A.I to the task, as last year Vision Zero South West, another technology company, conducted a 15-day trial of its Acusensus van-based pilot system that detected 590 seat belt violations and 45 mobile phones on several roads in the region.
