Traffic woes from stray cows in Ahmedabad are poised for a dramatic fix, courtesy of artificial intelligence. The Gujarat government, through AMC, is fast-tracking a pilot that uses AI to spot stray bovines and trace owners via real-time CCTV analysis.
Daily, these animals trigger jams and collisions across city junctions. AMC’s arsenal includes CCTV at 130 chaurahas and a database of 1.1 lakh tagged cows, yet manual RFID verification bogs down response times.
GIFT City’s AI Center has greenlit a specialist agency to craft a computer vision powerhouse. Rooted in deep learning, it deciphers cow identities by scrutinizing nose prints—singular like no two fingerprints—plus ocular and facial traits, wounds, and brands. Seamless database linkage delivers owner details at lightning speed.
Success here means safer commutes, optimized resources, and a blueprint for nationwide adoption. It’s Gujarat’s stride in fostering AI-driven smart governance, prioritizing citizen safety and urban harmony. With the model nearing presentation, change is imminent.
