AI traffic enforcement on Pune’s FC Road

AI Cameras Nab 3,178 Traffic Violators on Pune’s FC Road in Just 62 Days

SpotGenie Gyaan explores Pune’s smart enforcement initiative AI-enabled cameras on Fergusson College Road issued over 3,000 challans in just over two months, reshaping traffic discipline in the city.

Pune’s New AI Pilot on FC Road

On May 28, 2025, Pune Traffic Police launched a 90 day pilot on FC Road. In just 62 days (until July 28), the system detected 3,178 traffic violations, including first-time offenders being the overwhelming majority.

Violation Breakdown & Latest Stats

Double parking: 1,284 cases
Parking in no-parking zones: 1,279 cases
Wrong-side driving: 617 cases
Triple-seat riding: 32 cases
Mobile phone usage while driving: 8 cases

The early data shows stringent enforcement even before manual intervention.

First Pattern 13 Days Pilot Snapshot

Within the first 13 days, AI cameras flagged 742 violations: 1,100 cases of illegal parking, 119 double parking, 221 wrong side driving, plus a few triple seat and phone while driving cases.

How the System Works Automated & Unmanned

Four AI cameras monitor live feed along FC Road. When a violation is detected such as illegal parking or obstruction a digital alert triggers e-challan generation without on ground intervention. The system displays vehicle registration on public screens briefly, giving drivers a chance to move before the challan is finalized.

Behavioral Influence & City Response

Authorities report visible drops in repeat offences. Traffic police highlight that most violators are new commuters unaware of surveillance. This indicates deterrence is already shaping behavior.

Expansion Plans & City wide Rollout

Pune aims to deploy similar AI camera enforcement along major corridors like JM Road, Lohegaon Airport Road, and Bajirao Road. A feasibility study at New Airport Road is underway, with potential installations by August 2025.

Why This Matters for Urban Mobility

Automated enforcement reduces the need for physical patrol, especially in busy commercial zones.
Instant detection discourages casual offences and encourages improved discipline.
Together with Maharashtra’s Zero Fatality Corridor data showing major crash reductions, FC Road pilot proves tech can change behavior.
