Installed in the Almaty region: 20 additional photo and video surveillance systems
In the bustling Almaty region of Kazakhstan, an innovative traffic management system called "Auto-Hurricane" has been deployed to improve road safety and enforce traffic laws.
Zigira Dauletova, the head of the Information Systems Department of the Almaty region's DPO, is spearheading the implementation of this complex system. The "Auto-Hurricane" system comprises a stationary system for automatic recognition of state registration numbers of vehicles and an automatic video surveillance system.
Since its installation, the "Auto-Hurricane" system has been active on the regional roads of Almaty, issuing a total of 102,702 prescriptions worth over 891 million tenge. The system is designed to identify, register, and control vehicle movement in any traffic intensity, making it a formidable tool for traffic management.
Each day, over 360 traffic violations are fixed at a single post using the "Auto-Hurricane" system in the Almaty region. These systems are primarily designed to capture violations of traffic rules on the republican roads of Almaty region.
The system's automatic video surveillance system is used for fixing traffic violations and search operations. Fines are issued automatically by the "Auto-Hurricane" system without the participation of police officers. All traffic violations fixed by the system are systematized in a single database.
The Almaty region has seen an increase in the deployment of these systems, with an additional 20 "Auto-Hurricane" photo-video surveillance systems installed. As of today, a total of 30 "Auto-Hurricane" complexes are operational for photo-video traffic violation fixation across the region.
While the specific data on the number of traffic violations fixed, fines issued, or detailed impact assessments for the Almaty region was not available in the current search results, it is generally understood that the increased deployment of such systems typically leads to a higher number of traffic violations being detected and recorded, more fines being issued, and enhanced traffic law enforcement, possibly contributing to improved road safety by deterrence.
It was previously reported that specialists checked the quality of road signs in Almaty and the Almaty region, further emphasising the region's commitment to road safety and traffic management. For precise statistics on the aforementioned data, it is recommended to consult the Almaty regional traffic police or local government official reports, which often publish such data periodically.
- The innovative "Auto-Hurricane" traffic management system, deployed in the Almaty region of Kazakhstan, also incorporates technology for automatic video surveillance, primarily used for fixing traffic violations and search operations.
- In addition to the initial 10 "Auto-Hurricane" complexes, the Almaty region has now installed an additional 20 photo-video surveillance systems, totaling 30 operational systems that aim to improve general-news such as traffic law enforcement and sports safety through enhanced deterrence.
