Drones to monitor traffic, track suspects and power aerial surveillance in Hyderabad’s Malkajgiri
The Malkajgiri commissionerate in Hyderabad plans to implement a technology-driven policing model using drones and AI for traffic management and crime detection. This initiative aims to enhance public safety by creating a live intelligence network that integrates various surveillance systems. The project will require significant investment in technology and training to effectively reduce reliance on traditional policing methods.
- ▪Drones will monitor traffic and track suspects in real time, providing live analytics to police officers.
- ▪The initiative aims to replace physical patrols with AI-enabled drones that can analyze traffic patterns and identify anomalies.
- ▪A dedicated lab will be established for drone maintenance, and personnel will receive specialized training in analytics.
