Efforts are on by the Police Commissionerate to link-up its database with that of the Road Transport Authority (RTA).
The tech team at the Commissionerate is currently working to upload the police database into the newly acquired interceptor vehicle. The next step will be to synchronise it with the RTA database.
Once the link-up is established, the interceptor vehicle will have full details of the motorist violating traffic rules such as his licence number, expiry date, address, and details pertaining to the vehicle.
It can even be established if the vehicle is a stolen one or not, or if a motorist is involved in any accident or any kind of violation, including crime or law and order.
“All these can be done within minutes and it can be of great help during ‘nakabandis’ and vehicle-checking,” Commissioner of Police Amit Garg has said.
But according to sources in the police department, the project of linking up with the RTA database will work out only if the police acquires at least five more interceptor vehicles.
Every year, 60,000 new vehicles are coming on to the road, and very soon the number of vehicles on the city’s roads will touch the 8-lakh mark.
In 2014, the number of fatal road accidents was 326, compared to 378 in 2013. The number of deaths due to road accidents was 339 in 2014 and 414 in 2013.
Of the total number of accidents, over 60 per cent occurred on the 73-km stretch of NH-16 that passes from Salapuvanipalem to Rajulapalem, said ADCP (Traffic) K. Mahendra Patrudu.
The vehicular population is on the rise and, at the same time, the road extent has also increased.
Apart from the 73-km of NH-16, the major road network in the city includes 30 km of State highway and 1,007 km of corporation roads.
