Hat mounted camera - gadget for Traffic Police

silkboard - 19-APR-2011

Bangalore Traffic Police loves technology, and for good reason, because tech helps them 1) reduce corruption and 2) get more enforcement done from their small troop of 2000 cops. Here is another tech solution for them to take their camera based enforcement to the extreme.

Hi All,

There have been proposals for Hoodi Railway Overbridge that I believe is already approved by the government. But I haven't heard anything on when the actual work will start. Had asked the railway crossing operator for the same and he said it will take few months.

Recently Nayandahalli railway underbridge opened completing the ring of Bangalore ring road. But the Big circle buses still continue to ply via kengeri which will reduce its usefulness drastically.
