Police in England installed an AI camera system along a major road —72 hours later, it had caught almost 300 drivers breaking the law.After 5 more days, that number rose to 1,000.

The police force in Cornwall, a county in the south of England,recently began trialing an AI road safety camera system to detectoffenses like drivers not wearing their seatbelts or texting whiledriving. Made by AI technology company Acusensus, the systemflagged nearly 180 seat-belt offenses and 117 mobile phoneoffenses, Vision Zero South West, a collaborative project betweenseveral organizations in the region including police, stated in a press release.

The free-standing camera system was installed along the A30, amajor road that stretches from London to the southwest tip of thecountry. The system reviews traffic flow in the areas where it'sdeployed, then records clear images of passing vehicles using highshutter speeds, an infrared flash, and a lensing and filtering system.AI then reviews the images, flagging those showing potentialoffending drivers. Photos flagged by the AI are then sent to a personfor review.

If an offense was correctly identified, the driver is then sent either anotice of warning or intended prosecution, depending on the severityof the offense.

This is not the first time an AI surveillance system has been used tocatch offenders on the road. AI-powered cameras have been usedfor years to detect everything from public intoxication to drowsinessin delivery drivers. The Acusensus system has been trialed over thepast year in multiple locations across England and Australia,according to the company.

An initiative earlier this year, also in the UK, involved AI camerasbeing set up along highways to catch drivers throwing trash out theircar windows. The Barcelona subway system uses an AI videoanalytics system to catch fare evaders, and the NYC subway systemrecently began using the same AI software to analyze fare evasionpatterns.

Adrian Leisk, the head of road safety for the Devon and CornwallPolice, said in a press release that the number of drivers using theirphones behind the wheel and not wearing seatbelts wasdisappointing.

"We are employing this new technology to send a clear message toanyone who continues to use their phone behind the wheel," Leisksaid. "You will get caught."
