Using technology vs. traffic violations

Motorists in Metro Manila can now expect to receive an SMS or an email after a traffic violation that’s committed in places monitored by AI-enabled cameras.

Early this week, the Metropolitan Manila Development Authority (MMDA) launched this significant update to its No-Contact Apprehension Policy (NCAP) - an SMS and email notification system that alerts violators in near real time.

Road safety will now be strengthened by sensors, smart systems, and swift enforcement. Through the use of artificial intelligence capable cameras installed along Metro Manila’s busiest roads, the system captures traffic violations and transmits the data to the MMDA’s operations center. There, a team of trained personnel manually verifies each incident before a notification is sent to the registered owner of the vehicle. Within minutes, motorists receive a text message and an email with the unmistakable subject: “May Huli Ka!”
