A Smarter City Starts With a Bold Vision
The idea was born with DCP Bapu Bangar of Pimpri Chinchwad Police , a forward-thinking officer who envisioned a city where citizens could report traffic violations as easily as sending a WhatsApp message, without phone queues or physical visits to police stations.
This vision found its institutional champion in Dr. Mahesh Goudar, Director of MIT Academy of Engineering, Pune, who brought academic expertise and support to the table. The initiative was backed at the highest levels by Commissioner of Police Vinoy Choubey IPS and the Government of Maharashtra.
Under the expert mentorship of Dr. Vaishali Wangikar (HOD, CSE Data Science, MIT-AOE), the complete backend architecture was designed and built from the ground up - turning a whiteboard sketch into a live platform serving thousands of Pimpri Chinchwad residents.
🚦 The Problem We Set Out to Solve
No Easy Reporting
Traditional mechanisms were phone queues, long waits, and impractical processes that discouraged citizens from reporting violations at all.
Paper-Heavy Processes
Police relied on manual registers and paper forms to log complaints - impossible to track, analyse, or act on at the scale of a growing city.
No Location Verification
Impossible to verify if a report came from within the correct city jurisdiction - or to route it automatically to the right divisional team.
