There has been a considerable drop in fatal road accidents in the State after the implementation of the artificial intelligence-enabled (AI) motor vehicles surveillance cameras, Transport Minister Antony Raju has said.
Speaking to the media after a review meeting of the AI-enabled traffic violation detection project here on Tuesday, the Minister said there were a total of 3,714 road accidents in the State in June 2022. However, it dropped to 1,278 in June 2023 after the installation of the camera surveillance system.
In June last year, 344 people lost their lives in road accidents, while this time, it was reduced to 140. Similarly, in June 2022, a total of 4,172 people were injured in road accidents and this time, it dropped to 1,468. This is a clear indication that the new vehicle surveillance system was effective in reducing road accidents, said the Minister.
