The Cyberabad Traffic Police along with the Society for Cyberabad Security Council (SCSC) have deployed ‘Third Eye Traffic Monitoring Drone’ to monitor and manage traffic in the jurisdiction. Currently, online maps show details of traffic congestion using information from cellphones in a particular area.
The Unmanned Aerial Surveillance Vehicle (UASV) is equipped with advanced surveillance capabilities that will enable real-time updates of traffic flow and related issues, allowing traffic police officials to address them rapidly and ensure smoother commute for road users, according to a note released by the department
