This will be the first in the country and will minimise manual interface,1st phase to roll out by Apr '19
The Delhi Police will soon be the first in the country to have its own Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS). The Ministry of Home Affairs (MHA) has approved the proposal sent by the Delhi Traffic Police. With the coming of the new system, the manual interface will be minised and the first phase is likely to be completed by April 2019.
Confirming the development Dependra Pathak, Special Commissioner of Police, Traffic said that the first phase would involve hiring consultants. "The aim is to reduce the manual interface to minimal. Smart traffic signals, artificial intelligence to determine the flow of traffic, automated enforcement and communication to change the face of the traffic situation in Delhi," said Pathak.
With the coming of the new system, smart traffic lights would function as per the flow of traffic. Explaining the idea an officer said that until now there were traffic officials on the road ensuring the smooth flow of traffic. "Ideally a traffic official on the road would leave the carriageway opened for equal minutes in order to ensure smooth flow of traffic. In such a scenario not all carriageways have heavy volume. With Artificial Intelligence (AI) coming in place, the signals would work according to the volume of traffic on each road," said the officer.
The project, with an estimated cost of around a Rs 1,000 crore, is aimed at giving an overall haul to the existing traffic system in Delhi and will be implemented in three phases. With features like high-resolution CCTV cameras which will capture commuters and motorists breaking the laws and directly the challan would reach home automated number plate recognition cameras (ANPR), lane monitoring system.
"The traffic management system would work on radar-based monitoring as well as Artificial Intelligence (AI). We would analyse the traffic pattern, traffic volume, vehicles, volume of traffic on specific roads and various others factors and collect them on a cloud which would then manage the traffic in a computerised and mechanised way. The AI would then analyze and see the functioning. This will be done not just from one area to area but optimising commute within a specific area will also be done," added the officer.
