2024: Moscow allocates 1.3 billion rubles for renting 4K cameras
The Moscow government has allocated 1.3 billion rubles for the lease of photo and video recording complexes for violations on the roads for five years. This was reported on May 15, 2024 by CNews.
This is the second allocation of money in five months of 2024 to spy on citizens. The customer is the Moscow data center.
With this money, the authorities plan to rent 125 complexes for photo and video recording of traffic violations. The tender was posted on the public procurement website on May 7, 2024. The winner of the auction will be determined on May 27, 2024. Renting one complex costs 10.7 million rubles.
The rental complex consists of two video modules (2K and 4K resolution), a light module, a radar, an information transmission module, a switch, a motherboard, a processor, and a geo-positioning system. In addition, control tablets for operators and a primary processing server will be provided.
 | The Moscow data center creates and maintains conditions for comfortable movement of people around the capital using information technologies, an intelligent transport system and a situation center, the press service of the data center said. |  |
The complex will be obliged to fully recognize the number of the car with a probability of 90%, conditionally recognize with a probability of 92%. The complex will store various types of information about the car, including a detailed image, images of the state registration plate, photos and videos containing the moment of entry and exit from the control zone, the date and time of fixation, speed, and so on. The complex will also provide connection of local search databases in PostgreSQL format.[1]
2023
The Moscow data center began to share with insurance companies records from road cameras. This helped reduce the number of minor accidents by 15%
After the launch of the project, in which insurers can receive camera recordings in case of minor accidents, the number of minor accidents decreased by 15%. This was announced at the end of December 2023 by the Moscow mayor's office.
As specified in the mayor's office, we are talking about "secondary" accidents - collisions with drivers who have already got into an accident stopped to register an accident on a European protocol or waiting for traffic police officers. The project caused a positive reaction from insurance companies and experts, but there is a need to finalize the project.
The agreement between the Center for Traffic Management (DPC) and insurance companies was concluded in early 2023 in a pilot mode and currently concerns the Moscow Ring Road. Upon request from the insurance company, the data center provides surveillance footage from any section of the ring road. In just 11 months of the project, about 900 records were provided, according to the Moscow Department of Transport.
According to the traffic police, in 2023, the death toll on the Moscow Ring Road decreased by 9.1%, while the total number of deaths on the roads in Moscow increased. Commenting on the situation to Kommersant, the data center linked this trend with the rapid response of the Center to the situation by cameras, in particular, the quick departure of the patrol and the movement of cars that got into an accident to a safe place.
One of the areas in which the project requires refinement, insurance companies call the shelf life of video recordings. In the summer, insurers noted that the shelf life of records is only five days, despite the fact that the average period for a car owner to apply to an insurance company is about seven days. In addition, the quality of the recording often suffers.
| | The share of uninformative material on average is about 40%, Kommersant was told in the Consent company. - There is no stability in this indicator, but over the past two months there has been a positive trend, more informative materials are presented than in previous[2] | |
Cameras have appeared in Moscow that reveal violations of the rules of riding electric scooters
Road cameras have appeared in Moscow that detect traffic violations on personal mobility equipment (SIM; these include electric scooters, among others). On October 18, 2023, the press service of the Moscow Department of Transport told about the innovations in the city .
| | Now we are testing cameras that detect violations in real time when driving on SIM, - quotes the words of the press service of the department Interfax"." - For example, if you drive out of your lane, do not dismount when crossing the road or drive on the same scooter together - all this is recorded by the camera. We report violations to operators. Soon there will be more such cameras in the city. | |
For incorrect parking, users can get a fine in the application, and if the scooter was left in the wrong place for a long time so that it interferes with the passage of pedestrians, it can be evacuated by the Moscow parking service. However, all these measures are still applicable to rolling scooters, and not private ones.
To streamline traffic for electric scooters in the metropolis, more than 250 new "slow zones" have been introduced at the MCD, MCC, metro and bus stops. In them, the speed decreases forcibly. For incorrect parking, you can get a fine in the application. And if the scooter interferes with pedestrians, it can be evacuated by the Moscow Parking.
By mid-October 2023, all restrictive and controlling measures apply only to users of rental services (kicksharing). They can be identified: the operator has the ability to compare the time of the violation with the account of the specific client who rented the scooter. The issue of private owners is now being discussed. It is possible that the registration procedure through "Public services" and license plates will be introduced for them.[3]
Traffic cameras in Moscow are now fined for unfastened passengers
Traffic cameras in Moscow were forced to fine passengers for an unfastened belt. This was announced on September 21 by the Center for Traffic Management (DPC). In this case, the fine will be issued to the owner of the car. The amount of the fine will be 1 thousand rubles.
The Moscow mayor's office promised drivers that controversial cases would be interpreted in favor of the car owner and passengers. Belt fastened or not - determines the neural network. At the same time, cases are actively discussed in social networks when the AI could not correctly determine the seat belt from the photo. For example, when a person is dressed in a dark and seat belt merges with the color of the clothes. In addition, in some retro cars (for example, GAZ-21 or Muscovites of the 1970s), the seat belt is absent as a structural element. In addition, sometimes the system determined some non-living objects, like passengers - a year ago in the Sverdlovsk region, the camera software mistook a teddy cat glued to the windshield for a passenger.
| | The data center will consider each case with signs of violation, and any doubts will always be interpreted in favor of the owner of the transport, - promised on Thursday the vice-mayor of Moscow Maxim Liksutov. | |
As told in the data center "Kommersant," the decision to introduce a new composition of administration was made jointly with the State Traffic Inspectorate. For this, the experience of fining drivers was used, and the most successful places for the installation of complexes in terms of the quality of photographic materials were determined.
A system of fines for drivers for an unfastened belt has existed since 2020. During this time, 6.7 million administrative decisions were issued. The first to fine for an unfastened belt began in the Sverdlovsk region. At the moment, only 206 cameras out of 3.8 thousand complexes will work on the new system.[4]
Moscow road cameras began to be fined for riding a motorcycle without a helmet
Road cameras in Moscow began to be fined for riding a motorcycle without a helmet. This was announced in early August 2023 at the capital's Center for Traffic Management (TsODD).
They will be fined for the lack of helmets for both drivers and passengers. The amount of the fine is 1000 rubles. About 500 cameras already installed in Moscow will be used to identify violators. The materials of the cameras will be double checked by the data center and the State traffic inspectorate. The verdict can be appealed to the traffic police, including through state Public services.
No additional cameras will be required. To determine motorcyclists without helmets, about 500 data center devices already installed on the city streets will be used.
According to the Moscow traffic police in early August 2023, since the beginning of 2023, 13 motorcyclists have already died in accidents. Often bikers do not use protective equipment and reduce their own chances of surviving an accident.
| | On behalf of the Mayor of Moscow, Sergei Sobyanin, we strive to reduce the mortality rate, therefore, together with the State Traffic Inspectorate, we begin to use cameras and artificial intelligence to identify those who do not use a helmet when riding a motorcycle or transport passengers without it. Such a measure will preserve the health and lives of all participants in the movement, - said the Deputy Mayor of Moscow for Transport Maxim Liksutov. | |
An experiment to determine the presence or absence of a helmet on the head of a motorcyclist in Moscow began back in 2021. The data center said that by the beginning of August 2023, it was possible to teach the neural network to recognize helmets of various shapes and designs and distinguish them from hats and any types of hairstyles. It is noted that until August 2023, fines for riding motorcyclists without a helmet were not imposed.[5]
2021: Contract for 3.27 billion rubles. Moscow installs hundreds of road cameras with new features
The Center for Traffic Management (TsODD) of Moscow announced a tender for the lease of "equipment for fixing traffic violations" for 3.27 billion rubles. It is planned to install 500 cameras, which the contractor will serve for five years. This became known in early September 2021.
According to Kommersant, the new complexes will receive expanded opportunities for photo and video recording of violations. Thus, the cameras will record the movement of motorcyclists between the lanes (for violation - a fine of 1,500 rubles), as well as the rules for the use of motorcycle helmets (a fine of 1,000 rubles). In addition, the data center intends to check the parking rules (a fine from 500 rubles to 2500 rubles), record a turn or turn not from the extreme row (a fine of 500 rubles). At the same time, new cameras will identify cars that have not passed inspection and do not have OSAGO.
The Moscow Center for Traffic Management explained to Kommersant that new devices will be installed in accident centers and on dedicated lanes. The default functions specified in the terms of reference are available in modern cameras. If the State Traffic Inspectorate decides to control one of these offenses, the complexes will be technically ready for this, the data center added.
The introduction of new compositions will entail an increase in the number of new fixations of violations, said Grigory Shukhman, an expert on road cameras.
| | Considering that we are talking, among other things, about the use of video analytics based on neural networks, the number of errors will be, at least at first, more than average. Accordingly, the burden on traffic police officers considering cases and making decisions will increase, "he said. | |
By September 2021, there are about 3.5 thousand cameras in Moscow for photo and video recording of traffic violations. Until 2016, the authorities bought the devices into ownership, then switched to a rental relationship.[6]
