THIRUVANANTHAPURAM: In a boost for Keltron, the state PSU’s traffic enforcement system has got a major order from the Maharashtra government. The order worth Rs 9.05 crore is for the installation of the traffic enforcement system developed by Keltron across the Mumbai-Pune Expressway, officially known as the Yashwantrao Chavan Expressway.
According to Industries Minister P Rajeeve, this is the biggest order relating to the traffic enforcement system for Keltron from outside the state. As part of the order, Keltron will install 28 radar-based spot and average speed enforcement systems and 11 average speed enforcement systems.
Through the radar-based spot and average speed enforcement system, all vehicles passing through the highway can be monitored round the clock. Besides, the system will also send to the control room crucial information such as the picture of the vehicle, registration number, speed and direction.
Using the average speed enforcement system, the average speed of the vehicle can be calculated. This information will also be sent to the control room. The information can be used to take action against traffic rule violators. “By successfully implementing the system, Keltron can expect more orders from similar projects being implemented by the National Highways Authority of India,” Rajeeve said.
The state PSU has installed as many as 726 enforcement systems in the state under the Safe Kerala project and has years of experience in road safety-related services. Keltron offers traffic signal solutions that include traffic signals, LED signboards and timers. It also provides traffic enforcement solutions such as surveillance cameras, speed violation detection cameras and cameras to detect red light violations.
