China equips traffic police with AI smart glasses for real-time vehicle checks
Traffic police usually rely on radios, handheld scanners, and a lot of manual checks to keep roads moving. But in Changsha, China, that job is starting to look very different.Β
Local traffic officers are now taking help from AI-powered smart glasses to identify vehicles and driver details in a matter of seconds.Β
According to an official announcement from the Changsha Traffic Police on December 13, the Changsha Municipal Public Security Bureau Traffic Management Detachment has equipped its frontline officers with new AI-powered glasses.Β
Traffic police in China are using AI glasses for vehicle monitoringΒ
The device is lightweight and looks like a normal pair from a distance. But what it does best is show the vehicleβs information at a glance in one or two seconds. Officers can read the details on a built-in display without breaking their stride.Β
The glasses are equipped with a 12MP wide-angle camera and a predictive image-stabilization algorithm designed to keep images clear, even when officers are on the move or working in heavy traffic. On a full charge, they are rated to operate continuously for up to eight hours.
One of the most important features of these glasses is automatic license plate recognition. The system works offline with an accuracy rate of over 99% and delivers results in under one second. Itβs also designed to work reliably in different lighting conditions, whether itβs bright daylight or nighttime traffic.
Once the system identifies a vehicle, the glasses connect to the public security traffic database in real time and pull up details such as registration information, inspection status, and violation records.Β
The glasses extend beyond vehicle tracking. They also support facial recognition, real-time voice translation in more than 10 languages, and on-site video recording for law enforcement.
Thanks to this system, inspection time for a single lane has reportedly dropped from about 30 seconds to just one or two seconds. It also reduces manual work, lowers stress for officers, enables non-contact enforcement, and helps make roadside checks safer and more accurate.
