Surveillance Cameras Monitor Traffic on Mumbai Coastal Road Project 236 CCTV Cameras with Various Features Now Operational
To enhance traffic safety and monitoring, a total of 236 CCTV cameras with different advanced features have been activated across the Mumbai Coastal Road Project (South). This ambitious project, named Dharmveer Swarajyarakshak Chhatrapati Sambhaji Maharaj Mumbai Coastal Road (South), was developed by the Brihanmumbai Municipal Corporation (BMC) and is being gradually opened to traffic in phases.
Key Features and Benefits:
- Real-Time Accident Alerts: In case of accidents on the coastal road, the cameras immediately alert the control room, enabling swift assistance to the victims.
- Speed Monitoring: The system also records data on vehicles that exceed speed limits.
- Traffic Analysis: Daily vehicle counts, types of vehicles, and traffic flow trends are monitored to improve management and planning.
The project aims to offer fast, convenient, and safe transport options for Mumbaikars. The road stretches from *Shamaldas Gandhi Marg (Princess Street Flyover) to the Worli end of the Worli-Bandra Sea Link, covering *10.58 km. Traffic has now been opened in both directions, and various types of CCTV cameras have been installed along the entire stretch for enhanced safety.
Camera Types and Their Functions:
- Video Incident Detection Cameras (VIDC)
Installed every 50 meters in both twin tunnels of the coastal road, 154 VIDC cameras automatically detect incidents like car crashes or wrong-way driving and notify the control room immediately. - PTZ Surveillance Cameras
A total of 71 Pan-Tilt-Zoom (PTZ) cameras are installed for general traffic surveillance. These cameras can rotate, tilt, and zoom, and the built-in VIDS (Video Incident Detection System) automatically focuses on accident scenes. - ATCC Cameras (Automatic Traffic Counting and Classification)
These 4 cameras are placed at the entry and exit points of the tunnels to count and classify vehicles entering and exiting. - Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) Cameras
7 cameras have been installed to identify vehicles violating speed limits. These cameras capture photographs and record license plate numbers of speeding vehicles. Enhanced Traffic Management:
Due to frequent complaints from locals regarding over-speeding, illegal racing, and noise pollution, the BMC and Mumbai Traffic Police expect these surveillance cameras to help enforce traffic rules more effectively.
Now that the system is fully operational, the BMC plans to keep the highway open 24/7. The administration appeals to all motorists using the Mumbai Coastal Road to strictly follow traffic rules to ensure safety for all.
This integrated surveillance system is proving to be a major step forward in preventing potential accidents and ensuring immediate emergency response on one of Mumbai’s most significant infrastructure developments.
