In the near future, traffic signal timings will be automatically determined based on the number of vehicles present at an intersection. This initiative will save time for drivers, eliminating the need for traffic police at signals or manually setting signal durations for traffic management.
What is the Area Traffic Control System Introduced at the Expo?
At the three-day Traffic InfraTech Expo held in Bharat Mandapam, Delhi, a cutting-edge technology called the Area Traffic Control System was introduced. This system, based on artificial intelligence, analyzes the number of vehicles at an intersection and adjusts signal timings accordingly, in real time. According to the company, this is one of the most advanced traffic control systems developed so far, providing real-time feedback and modifying signal timings within seconds.
Where Has the Area Traffic Control System Already Been Implemented?
The Area Traffic Control System has already been implemented in several Indian cities, including Hyderabad, Dehradun, Patna, Raipur, Lucknow, and other cities in Uttar Pradesh. This system enhances traffic management by responding instantly to changing traffic conditions.
What Other Technologies Were Launched for Traffic Management at the Expo?
The exhibition also featured the launch of a LiDAR-based system for sensitive complexes and traffic management. This system uses laser light transmitted from a device, which reflects off objects to determine vehicle movements. When a vehicle passes through the detection zone, the system sends a message to the control room, allowing for real-time traffic tracking.
How Does the System Track Vehicles Without CCTV Cameras?
An AI-based system developed by an Australian company was also introduced at the expo. This system can track vehicles coming from the opposite direction without the use of CCTV cameras. Special road studs that glow at night are equipped with sensors capable of tracking vehicles moving in the wrong direction or violating speed limits. If any violation occurs, the system immediately sends a notification to the control room.
How Will These Technologies Improve Traffic Management?
These advanced traffic technologies aim to simplify traffic management and make it more efficient. With real-time updates and automatic signal adjustments, drivers will experience fewer delays at intersections. Moreover, law enforcement will have access to immediate data on traffic violations, ensuring safer roads and smoother traffic flow.
