Challenges Management of more than 36,00,000

vehicles

Annual growth of 7 – 10% in traffic

Most of the roads operating abovetheir capacity and the volume/capacity ratios ranging from 1 to 4

Travel speed less than 15 kmphduring the peak hours in centralareas

Insufficient or no parking spaces forvehicles

Limited number of policemen

Use of GIS for evaluating traffic congestionUsage 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.

• 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 application

providing sophisticated GUI formonitoring and managing of signals

• Latest extended desktopenvironment at TMC for managingtraffic signal operation

• Malfunctioning of signalsautomatically reported and tracked
