Sikkim Introduces AI-Powered System for Document Verification and Violation Detection

Sikkim, [14.05.24] – The Sikkim Transport Department is proud to announce the launch of its groundbreaking "Artificial Intelligence-driven Traffic Management System," aimed at revolutionizing road safety and traffic regulation across the state.




This innovative system harnesses the power of advanced Artificial Intelligence (AI) algorithms to streamline traffic operations effectively. By automatically verifying the validity of essential documents such as insurance, tax, fitness, Pollution Under Control (PUC), and permits, as well as detecting common traffic violations like speeding, signal jumping, and lane misuse, this system promises to enhance efficiency and compliance with traffic laws.

Commencing on May 25th, 2024, this state-of-the-art system will be fully operational throughout Sikkim. Vehicle owners, including government vehicles, are urged to ensure that all their documents are up-to-date to avoid any inconvenience.

In the event of any discrepancies or concerns regarding issued e-challans, the public is encouraged to promptly notify the respective Superintendent of Police (SP) or Regional Transport Office (RTO) in their district for resolution.
