The cameras will be able to detect helmet-less drivers and those not wearing seat-belts. Some of these cameras are already in operation at Walayar, Wadakkanchery and Kozhikode.

CDAC or Center for Development of Advanced Computing is implementing this project and in the trial runs, the accuracy of the software has been found to be true in 98% of the cases (via).
