Client profile

The Nilgiris District Collectorate in Tamil Nadu, India, is responsible for law enforcement, traffic regulation, and vehicle movement into Ooty one of the country’s most popular hill stations. During peak tourist seasons the district welcomes thousands of visitors each day, creating heavy traffic at the main check posts. Managing this flow while maintaining accurate records is essential for public safety and efficient planning.

Project background

Until recently, officers relied on manual checks to record license plates and track the number of vehicles entering Ooty. This process was time-consuming, required substantial manpower, and left room for human error. Preparing daily and monthly traffic reports meant long hours of data entry and inconsistent accuracy. The Collectorate needed a cost-effective, automated system that could handle seasonal surges, reduce manual workload, and provide reliable data for traffic management and compliance.

Project solution

To meet these challenges, the Nilgiris Collectorate turned to TRASSIR for an AI-powered vehicle monitoring and reporting solution. The deployment included:

• AutoTRASSIR for automatic number plate recognition (ANPR), delivering high-accuracy vehicle identification in real time

• TRASSIR NeuroStation for centralized management, storage, and easy retrieval of video and license plate data

• Automated reporting tools to generate accurate daily and monthly entry statistics, ensuring data-driven traffic planning and enforcement

Project results

The Nilgiris Collectorate now benefits from:

• 100 % automated number plate recognition for every vehicle entering Ooty

• Reliable daily and monthly traffic reports to guide planning and policy decisions

• Reduced manpower requirements and a significant drop in errors compared with manual monitoring

• Enhanced enforcement and security through a searchable vehicle database

• A scalable system capable of handling the heaviest tourist seasons without performance loss

By deploying AutoTRASSIR, the district has transformed its busy checkpoints into efficient, data-driven control points. The result is faster verification, improved safety, and smoother traffic management for one of India’s most visited destinations.
