The traffic capturing technology is the most effective method of reducing traffic hazards. Initially, traffic enforcement cameras were only capable of detecting overspeeding violations. Modern units track around twenty types of violations, including loose safety belt, phoning while driving, driving on shoulder, or non-observance of surface markings.

Lately, neural network technologies have been used to recognize vehicle type, make, and model. In the future, the camera industry will evolve towards automatic capturing of traffic violations by pedestrians, e.g. jaywalking.

Traffic enforcement cameras have also helped to achieve a 70% reduction in the number of unauthorized construction waste dumps in the Moscow Region. Furthermore, regional authorities monitor taxi cab compliance with prescribed color patterns as part of the Tax Control program.
