Authorities in Guyana are expanding artificial intelligence-driven traffic enforcement, including mobile surveillance units capable of automatically identifying vehicles with outstanding traffic offences, President Irfaan Ali said on Friday.
He said this forms part of a broader plan to modernise the country’s traffic management and public safety systems through intelligent surveillance and automated enforcement.
During a recent pilot operation, he said mobile units identified more than 250 vehicles with unpaid traffic tickets, he said.
“The system will pick them up, document them on the screen, put them in the database and even turn on the traffic sirens to stop the vehicle,” the president said.
He said the mobile units can scan traffic in real time without human intervention, reducing opportunities for interference in enforcement.
Guyana has already deployed smart traffic cameras in some locations, which Ali said have contributed to reductions in speeding and road accidents.
