Red Hot Cyber
Cybersecurity is about sharing. Recognize the risk, combat it, share your experiences, and encourage others to do better than you.
The Changsha traffic police have begun using AI-powered smart glasses in their daily patrols. This was confirmed by the city’s Public Security Bureau , which has already distributed the new devices to officers on duty.
The glasses allow you to obtain comprehensive information about a vehicle simply by looking at it: the entire process takes one to two seconds. The system integrates a 12-megapixel wide-angle camera coupled with an advanced image stabilization algorithm, designed to ensure sharp footage even when the operator is moving.
From a technical standpoint, the operating battery lasts up to eight hours without recharging, effectively covering a full work shift. The automatic license plate recognition module operates autonomously and maintains an accuracy level of over 99%, with response times of less than a second . Performance remains stable even in adverse lighting conditions.
Once the license plate has been identified, the AI system connects in real time to traffic police databases. The information is displayed directly in front of the officer and includes vehicle registration data, inspection status, any violations, and other relevant parameters. The platform also supports facial recognition, voice translation into over ten languages, and video recording of operations.
According to local authorities, the adoption of these glasses has dramatically reduced vehicle inspection times: checking a single lane has dropped from about 30 seconds to one or two seconds. This has resulted in an estimated 80% increase in traffic efficiency.
This technology reduces officers’ manual workload, improves the accuracy of checks, and promotes contactless intervention methods. The stated goal is to make police operations safer, limit potential conflicts, and enhance the protection of field personnel.
