Traffic COP: Smart Spot Fine Management System for Sri Lanka Police

Abstract

Traffic COP is a smart spot fine management system designed to enhance the reliability and the convenience of collecting fines for the faults made by drivers in Sri Lanka. This requirement has been identified by gathering feedback from a sample of drivers and traffic officers in Sri Lanka. The Traffic COP is controlled by a centralized app installed on the server of the Traffic department of Sri Lanka Police. Devices are distributed among the traffic officers to read the chip in the license of drivers. Once a fault is identified, the traffic officers can feed the data to the system through the device and tablet unit. At the same time, all data are automatically updated in the central database at the department. This allows the drivers to pay their fines online without even touching money and reobtain the license easily on the spot. Traffic COP saves the time of the Traffic administration by allowing them to have detailed fine reports from the system without depending on the manual records. Since the data of the licenses of drivers have already been uploaded to the primary system, the officers can also be used to detect the fake licenses used by the drivers. This system prevents accusations against the traffic officers regarding the collection of ransom from drivers. At the same time, the system can use for both the administration of the Police and the Department of Motor Traffic to see any of the data syncing real-time on the live database.
