Cases are being initiated and fines imposed automatically based on violations detected by the cameras, he added.
Expanding the use of AI cameras on the highway would help reduce the tendency to violate traffic laws and strengthen road safety and discipline, said SP Shahinur.
"The impact has already started to become visible," he said.
The AI camera system began operating on the Dhaka-Chattogram highway at 11am on Tuesday.
A total of 1,427 cameras have been installed along a 250-kilometre stretch of the highway as part of the initiative.
