FITS ITEMS - Road safety

Responsible organisation: State Public Traffic Safety Directorate (Governmental)

The State Public Traffic Safety Directorate uses the FITS ("Future Intelligent Transport Systems") ITEMS, which significantly improves road safety and saves people's lives. This AI system is capable of recognizing car numbers for driving speed, ensurance and roadworthiness test control on roads. At the end of 2018, the number of road accidents decreased by 43% compared to the number prior to the installation of photo cameras (1 084, after 613) at the roadside stages where photo cameras were installed and operated.
