The DIG reported that each robot will move at an estimated 20 km/hr speed, automatically identifying vehicles parked illegally or violating lane discipline rules.
Once a violation is identified, the robot’s camera and tracking software will capture and transmit vehicle registration numbers to E-Tracks control centre.

An electronic challan will then be automatically generated and sent directly to the vehicle owner’s registered address or mobile phone, providing a transparent, human-free enforcement process across the city.
DIG Shah explained that robotic enforcement’s goal is to boost efficiency, transparency, and accountability in Karachi’s traffic management system while decreasing physical intervention by officers on busy roads.
