I attended the Intelligent Transport Systems trade fair at Stockholm today and was amazed to see the new technologies being developed by dozens of innovative companies, big and small.
Most interesting for me was the technology that lets you analyze videos of traffic. The camera feed is processed using feature extraction and image recognition techniques to read license plate numbers and even find out the type and color of the car! It is also possible to find out the speed and direction of the car. Therefore you just have to install cameras at strategic points in the city and you will not need to set up police checkposts! If you are looking for a blue Wagon R, say, that was involved in a robbery at location A, you will be able to pretty much track in real time its progress through the city, even if the crooks change the number plates! Imagine the data being delivered to policemen on their mobile phones by SMS, in real time. The technology exists!
Now THAT is truly game changing! I love it.

Respected Sir,
It was a very interesting post.No doubts that technology is culminating day by day.But if we talk about India ,we are lacking behind in many technological facilities.Even we are not aware of very basic things.Like few days ago it was in news that students are facing problem in filing forms online(of CAT).
So,technology is there but there is long way ahead for Indians to cope up with present era.

Respected Sir,
Technology to me is like a Highlighter when the appropriate text is highlighted people or masses benefit of it but if text is not chosen carefully then people may get disillusioned also. So ssince the highlighted part is right its great and exciting and same way i feel for the technology described here.

Dear Sir,
Warm greetings!
I find this blog very good on knowledge part. I also want to share my experiences related to this issue, during my BBA I have done a project work on 'Improving traffic system and traffic rules awareness among masses of Indore city' and suggested some tools for it I have also found some latest information on Cameras emerges as automated enforcements system, By Sean Klein related to this post.

This technology will really help in saving time of the Cops & will also help them in spending their time in some other important task in which their presence is necessary.Hope to see this in INDIA as well.
