Red Light Violation Detection

Automated detection of vehicles crossing the stop line during a red signal phase. Integrates with traffic signal controllers to know the current signal state, then detects and captures any vehicle that enters the junction during red. Outputs evidence packages with plate, image, video clip, and signal status for enforcement.

Key Features

Discover the powerful capabilities that make Red Light Violation Detection stand out

Detects vehicles crossing the stop line on red

Signal phase integration — knows red/amber/green state in real time

ANPR pairing — captures plate number as part of each violation event

Evidence package — timestamped image, video clip, signal state, plate

Configurable stop line and detection zone per lane

Multi-lane support at signalised junctions

Real-time alerts to enforcement or traffic management centre

Low false-positive rate with left-turn-on-red filtering support

Prerequisites & Limitations

What Red Light Violation Detection needs to run reliably, and the operating limits to plan for.

Prerequisites

  • Camera: 2MP+ IP/RTSP with a clear view of the stop line, lane, and signal head
  • Signal phase input — interface to the traffic-signal controller, or signal-aspect detection from the camera view
  • Adequate illumination — pair with an IR illuminator for night plate capture
  • Stable bandwidth between camera and edge/server — roughly 4–8 Mbps per 2MP H.264/H.265 stream
  • Mounting for an unobstructed view of the stop line, vehicle, and plate
  • Stable power and network at the junction cabinet

Operating Limits

Factor Edge Server
Incident / event capture rate≤ ~5 events per second≤ ~20 events per second
Concurrent camera streams per node1–4 streams (Jetson TX2 / Orin)8–16+ streams
Minimum object/plate size in frame≥ ~20 px≥ ~20 px
Event-to-alert latency< ~1 s on-deviceDepends on network round-trip

Indicative figures — actual limits depend on hardware, scene, and configuration.
