Bhubhaneshwar’s Adaptive Traffic Signal Control System

s a part of Adaptive Traffic The installation of adaptive seven intersections. The project
Signal Control System traffic signal control system has on Pelican Signals and Blinkers is
Aproject, signalisation of 58 been completed at 43 intersections implemented by Envoys Electronics
junctions along with the provision and is in the process at another Pvt. Ltd.
of pelican signals (14) and blinkers
(5) are being undertaken.
It is the latest technology
in traffic engineering named
Composite Signal Control Strategy
developed by C-DAC (Centre
for Development of Advanced
Computing), a research and
development organization under
the Department of Electronics and
Information Technology.
The system will not only collect
real-time traffic data but will optimise
the signal in real-time to reduce
delays. Instead of a fixed waiting
time, this traffic system will predict
traffic volumes and adjust signal
timings to match these volumes.

Allahabad’s Integrated Command
and Control Centre

llahabad is all set to implement the traffic
management system in the city. After installing
Athe network of sensor-based CCTV cameras, the
district administration will commence the second phase of
ICCC. In the second phase of the ICCC, the footage from
a network of over 1,000 CCTV cameras will be routed
through different operating centres for better management
of traffic in the city.
The feed from the CCTVs and the sensors attached to
them will be used by different operating centres like the
disaster recovery centre (DRC), viewing centres, command
and control centres (CCCs), transit management system for
city buses, environmental sensors and smart parking system.
The ANPR installed at several city junctions will help
authorities intercept traffic violators. Using AI, the ITMS has
been installed at 19 major crossings of the city, which will
facilitate alignment of the traffic flow on a real-time basis.
The traffic lights would function as per the flow of traffic.
