With the global trend of smart cities and digital transformation, government agencies are accelerating the adoption of technology-driven law enforcement to enhance regulatory efficiency and reduce labor costs. In recent years, local governments in Taiwan have actively promoted the digitalization of environmental regulation, leveraging AI-based image recognition technology and advanced edge AI computing systems for environmental monitoring. These technologies effectively detect and penalize violations such as illegal waste disposal and unauthorized advertising. By employing high-precision image analysis and automated violation detection technology, municipalities have not only improved the accuracy of law enforcement but also successfully reduced the occurrence of such violations.
At the core of this initiative, Portwell PJAI-100-ON provides AI computing capabilities with low power consumption, enabling real-time operation in both urban and remote areas. This ensures that enforcement agencies can quickly identify violations and take immediate action. The system’s integration and real-time capabilities make it a key driver of next-generation smart regulation.
Edge AI system PJAI-100-ON is installed in traffic control cabinets at intersections and integrated with existing IP cameras, network aggregators, and Video Management Systems (VMS), forming a comprehensive edge computing-based law enforcement solution. The system continuously captures environmental footage through intersection surveillance cameras, transmitting hundreds of high-resolution images to the VMS for storage and classification. The VMS then distributes the images to the AI-powered PJAI-100-ON for processing and analysis, including the detection of illegal waste disposal, unauthorized advertising, roadside littering, and illegal parking. Upon detecting a violation, some complex analytical tasks can be offloaded to the cloud, reducing the burden on edge devices. Encrypted data transmission ensures that processed data is securely and promptly sent to the central control center, allowing enforcement personnel to respond quickly to violations.
High-resolution images are continuously transmitted to the VMS, categorized, and then processed by AI-powered PJAI-100-ON.
Equipped with an NVIDIA Jetson Orin SoC module with 40 TOPS computing power, the system performs real-time image preprocessing and violation detection.
Processed violation data is securely and promptly transmitted to the central control room via the network aggregator, enabling swift action by enforcement personnel. The front-end system filters violations in real-time, reducing the time and cost associated with back-end analysis and manual review.
Since its implementation at 32 traffic intersections, combined with Portwell’s edge computing system PJAI-100-ON, the initiative has helped local governments successfully address 42 cases of illegal waste disposal and unauthorized advertising within three months. By the end of 2024, it is expected to issue a total of 671 violation notices. Compared to traditional regulatory methods, this AI-driven edge computing solution significantly enhances enforcement efficiency while reducing manual patrol costs, highlighting the vast potential of AI in environmental regulation.
PJAI-100-ON is the preferred choice for smart law enforcement due to the following technical advantages:
Integrated with an NVIDIA Jetson Orin SoC module, delivering 40 TOPS computing power for real-time high-resolution image analysis and accurate violation detection.
Supports dual RJ45 Gigabit Ethernet and USB 3.2 for seamless integration with existing surveillance systems, ensuring efficient image transmission and data synchronization.
Engineered to withstand harsh industrial environments with an operating temperature range of -20°C to 60°C. Its compact dimensions (152 x 112 x 62 mm) allow easy deployment in space-constrained locations, while the fanless design ensures reliable performance without active cooling.
Features an M.2 2280 M-Key slot for NVMe SSDs to enable high-speed data access, an M.2 2230 E-Key slot for optional Wi-Fi connectivity, and an M.2 3042/3052 B-Key slot for 4G/5G support. These capabilities allow PJAI-100-ON to seamlessly integrate with municipal traffic network infrastructures.
In municipal environmental enforcement projects, the deployment of Portwell’s AI edge computing system PJAI-100-ON has significantly improved enforcement efficiency, ensuring that violations are detected and addressed in real-time. This strengthens urban environmental governance and public order.
