Challenges Management of more than 36,00,000

vehicles

Annual growth of 7 – 10% in traffic

Most of the roads operating above their

capacity and the volume/ capacity

ratios ranging from 1 to 4

Travel speed less than 15 kmph during

the peak hours in central areas

Insufficient or no parking spaces for

vehicles

Limited number of policemen

•178 cameras across various junctions of the city

•Centrally controlled from traffic management center using 4 Mbpsleased lines with an IP based network

•Feeds stored in a 24 terra byte high-end storage for a 10 day period

•Malfunctioning of devices automatically reported and tracked

•Used for statistical analysis and enforcement using Video Analytics

Surveillance Cameras

•5 cameras already operational

•Feeds directly transmitted to traffic management center using a 4 MbpsIP based network of leased lines

•Software capable of automatic number plate character recognition

•Software tallies vehicle registration number with RTO database forgenerating notices

•Malfunctioning of devices automatically reported and tracked

Enforcement Cameras

•9 interceptors moving across the city

•Equipped with Laser Speed Guns, 360 degrees roof mounted camera &alcometer

•Capable of capturing all types of traffic violationsTraffic

Interceptors

Initiatives – IT enabled monitoring

• 330 signals operational, shortly thenumber to increase to 350

• Signals centrally controlled fromtraffic management center using 4Mbps & 512 Kbps leased lines withan IP based network

• 120 vehicle actuated signals

• High-end software applicationproviding sophisticated GUI formonitoring and managing of signals

• Latest extended desktopenvironment at TMC for managingtraffic signal operation

• Malfunctioning of signalsautomatically reported and tracked

Automated Signaling Systems

Initiatives – Intelligent transportation

Intelligent transportation systems Vehicle Actuation

• Inductive loops hidden below road surface check for vehicle passing over them, incase no vehicle passes for 4 seconds the corresponding signal turns red.

• Helps in fully utilizing green time

• Also being used virtual loops with the help of CC TV cameras

Signal Progression

• Provides continuousmovement of vehiclesand/or minimize thedelay along an arterial orthroughout a network ofmajor streets

• Involves coordination among the signal controllers

• Total 24 traffic corridors to implement signal progression

Area Traffic Control System

• A way of monitoring, operating and controlling traffic lights through a computer

• The computer uses information gathered from sensors in the road to decide whether traffic is getting heavy or congested on a particular road. When it does, the computer changes the timing of traffic lights to let the traffic move more freely, so reducing hold-ups.

• Total 14 traffic corridors to implement ATC.

statistics

Capability to modify various parameters

of traffic signals including signal timings

Capability to review signal performance

using logs sent to TMC

• 20 systems around the Bangalore city

• Online connectivity with trafficmanagement center

• Used for informing citizens aboutdiversions, road incidents, speedrestrictions, safety messages, etc.

Variable messaging

system

• Real time collection of statuses ofavailable parking lots in the city onlineand making it available to motoriststhrough SMS, Internet & VMS

Parkinginformationsystem

Initiatives – Traffic dissemination system

Use of GIS for evaluating traffic congestion

Usage of GPS data gathered from

BMTC busses for identifying traffic

congestion at various roads of the city.

Usage of tele-density statistics of mobile

phone usage for identify traffic volumes

at various junctions.
