Valiance Solutions launches CivicEye, an AI-powered monitoring system to detect traffic violations and encroachments

Valiance Solutions on Tuesday launched CivicEye, an AI-powered surveillance system. The artificial intelligence (AI) and data analytics solutions provider claims its system is capable of monitoring various instances of public unrest and illegal activities such as traffic violations, theft and encroachment of unauthorized suppliers. The company says it is working with local authorities in Uttar Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh to pilot the AI ​​system in key cities. It also claims that the system is fully compliant with India’s data privacy regulations set by the Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).

The CivicEye portal will be accessible only to government officials and police

The AI ​​company said CivicEye is designed to improve public safety and make law enforcement operations more efficient. It is built on Google Cloud and can process large-scale video data to provide real-time monitoring of roads and other public spaces.

The monitoring system, built using the company’s native AI models, can detect traffic violations (such as speeding and illegal parking), monitor public disturbances, track traffic crowd density, identify road hazards like stray animals and potholes, and send alerts to authorities. take action. CivicEye is also equipped with crime detection tools to spot incidents such as chain snatching and public brawls. Additionally, it can also monitor issues such as unauthorized street vendors.

The company says it has partnered with local government bodies in Uttar Pradesh and Andhra Pradesh to pilot the project in key cities. CivicEye will use both existing video surveillance systems and newly installed cameras to monitor public safety.

Valiance Solutions claimed that the CivicEye front-end is accessible via a web portal as well as a mobile application and will only be provided to governing bodies and the police. The AI ​​system is hosted in MeitY data centers. Notably, CivicEye is a patent-pending technology.

Gadgets 360 asked the company during a press briefing whether it would have access to identifying data such as vehicle license plates and individuals’ faces. A question has also been raised whether the AI ​​model will be trained on such data. The company said CivicEye does not process or analyze faces and information such as vehicle license plates will only be available to authorities.

The company also added that once the system is operational, it will no longer be able to access it except for maintenance purposes and deployment of updates. Asked about the data used to train the AI ​​models, Valiance Solutions said the system was trained on publicly available datasets and simulation data created in-house.

Gadgets 360 also asked the company about AI hallucinations and failure rate in noticing a violation or falsely reporting an incident. The Indian AI company responded that while some cases of hallucinations exist, for critical offenses such as theft, accuracy has been measured at 99% in internal testing. For less critical breaches, the company claimed accuracy was 97 percent.

CivicEye is currently being tested in Vijayawada in Andhra Pradesh and Banda in Uttar Pradesh. The monitoring system is also being installed in Hamirpur, Uttar Pradesh. The company aims to finalize its full rollout in these areas over the coming months, with plans to expand to more cities in the near future.
