MUMBAI, India, Aug. 1 -- Intellectual Property India has published a patent application (202411005551 A) filed by Aditya Shanker, Ghaziabad, Uttar Pradesh, on Jan. 27, 2024, for 'deep neural network based intelligent floating traffic surveillance.'

Inventor(s) include Aditya Shanker.

The application for the patent was published on Aug. 1, under issue no. 31/2025.

According to the abstract released by the Intellectual Property India: "In a world where traffic violations claim countless lives annually, there is an urgent need for innovative solutions to curb this menace. To overcome this situation, the idea is to introduce Intelligent Floating Traffic Surveillance (IFTS), a groundbreaking system designed to tackle the traffic violation problem head-on and save lives on our roads. Traditional traffic cameras can only cover so much ground, leaving numerous areas prone to unchecked violations. The installed CCTV cameras have fixed positions, and drivers tend to follow traffic rules when they are under the coverage of a camera. But the moment they are beyond the camera's coverage, traffic violations are rampant. IFTS goes beyond the limitations of fixed installations by empowering every smartphone, dash-cam, helmet camera of motorcyclists & bicycle riders (action cameras), and inbuilt front camera of vehicles to become a vigilant guardian of road safety. With our cutting-edge technology, users can capture and report traffic violations, even in areas lacking conventional human surveillance or CCTVs. No longer will reckless drivers go unnoticed. IFTS utilizes the collective power of the community to create a comprehensive network of real-time traffic monitoring. This system not only identifies violations but also serves as a deterrent, fostering a culture of responsible driving. The crux of the problem : 1. Traffic cameras are at fixed position and does not work as an effective deterrent to the traffic violators 2. Not every road is covered with cameras therefore traffic violators go unnoticed 3. The presence of traffic personal on every road is not feasible as the number is limited."
