Traffic Offenders Beware: Software Can Now Catch Your Violations 24/7

• Vehicle detection and tracking
• Plate number localization and recognition
• Vehicle profiling (class and color)
• Number coding violation detection
• Beating the red light detection
• Swerving detection
• Over-speeding detection
• Traffic violation information system

Points of Implementation

The City of Manila, PCIEERD, and DLSU plan to create a Traffic Discipline Zone in Manila that stretches from Taft Ave. to Singalong Ave. along Estrada St. beside DLSU. Currently, the software is now being tested around the city, in coordination with Manila Traffic and Parking Bureau.

In time, PCIEERD Executive Director Carlos Primo David hopes that the technology will be replicated by other cities to curb traffic congestion. They’re also looking into partnering with the LTO and MMDA so it can be enforced nationwide.

Huge Potential to Solve Traffic

Julio Galang, representative for Manila Traffic and Parking Bureau, sees how the system can detect violations that may otherwise be overlooked by traffic enforcers. The City of Manila also sees its potential as a way to solve traffic problems in the country.

Aside from CATCH-ALL, the DLSU team also proposed an "in-vehicle traffic violations detection for public utility vehicles", such as taxis, buses, and jeepneys as another way to solve traffic and vehicular accidents on the road. This software can detect drivers who are not wearing seatbelts, or those who are texting while driving and driving under the influence.
