From Friday, Ahmedabad Municipal Corporation (AMC) is preparing for country’s first intelligent traffic management system would become operational on the 132-Feet Ring Road with the help of Japanese technology. Ten camera-based traffic sensors across various locations on the road would help manage the traffic flow. The sensors will relay information regarding traffic flow, including speed and density, to a cloud-based traffic control centre.
The system is being funded by the Japan International Corporation Agency (JICA). There would be four large 7×3 metres electronic information LED boards that will inform of any road jams or construction work or other hurdles to road users, almost 200 metres before every traffic light.
