Kuwait has seen a marked improvement in traffic discipline following the introduction of artificial intelligence-enabled road surveillance cameras. These smart cameras have effectively reduced reckless driving and violations, contributing to the Ministry of Interior’s initiative to curb “street wars.”
Key Indicators of Success
25% Reduction in Traffic Violations
A significant decrease in traffic violations was observed in December 2024, with a 25% reduction compared to the same period in 2023. This reduction highlights the effectiveness of AI technology in promoting safer driving habits.
Improved Detection of Violations
The cameras have proven adept at detecting violations such as mobile phone use and seatbelt non-compliance. In just 20 days, over 40,000 violations were recorded, underscoring the system’s efficiency and accuracy in tracking infractions.
Enhanced Public Confidence
The growing trust in the accuracy of the AI-powered surveillance system has led to better adherence to traffic laws, reinforcing the effectiveness of this technological solution in improving road safety in Kuwait.
