According to the police, the app has been installed in the tablets kept with the police personnel at the check posts using which the details of a motorist coming out will be saved online.
The technology allows reading the number plate numbers. There are about 64 cameras and and 3 km distance is geo-fenced around them. When vehicles go past the camera, it captures the details and it will be mapped with the images from next camera. If the same vehicle is captured in more than one camera, it implies that the vehicle has travelled more than 3 km.
There is a facility to white-list the vehicle numbers. These can exclude the vehicles used in emergency services, those allowed by the police, vehicles used by the doctors, media and others later.
