A significant investment of £1 million is being considered for AI and speed cameras on the A361 in Devon, a road marked as 'high risk' by the Department for Transport. This stretch has seen three fatalities and 30 serious injuries from 2018 to 2022, prompting the need for enhanced safety measures. The proposed AI cameras aim to detect various driving offenses, including seatbelt violations and mobile phone distractions.
The initiative follows a pilot scheme where nearly 1,800 potential offenses were recorded, highlighting the urgent need for intervention. Plans include installing three speed cameras and two average speed camera systems along the A361 to monitor traffic effectively. Additionally, the remaining £4 million from the Department for Transport grant will focus on improving access for pedestrians and cyclists.
• AI cameras could significantly reduce traffic offenses on the A361.
• Pilot scheme revealed nearly 1,800 potential driving offenses detected.
AI refers to the simulation of human intelligence in machines, enabling them to perform tasks like monitoring driver behavior.
Speed cameras are devices used to capture images of vehicles exceeding speed limits, enhancing road safety.
This involves using technology to identify violations such as seatbelt non-compliance and mobile phone use while driving.
