Traffic Operation Challenges
• Ability to monitor and react to incidents / bottlenecks but not anticipate and intervene to prevent or reduce their impact
• Lack of ability to identify and focus on critical incidents in real time to inform stakeholders accordingly
• Wide diversity of “Localized ” traffic management solutions that are proprietary and not interoperable
• Lack of ability to integrate historical and real time data to enhance insight and analysis of traffic flow patterns over time
• Political and public pressure to reduce congestion, realize energy social and environmental impact, and generally improve commuter experience

Objectives
• Provide Real Time Information to stake holders and commuters
• Ensure Safe & Secure journey
• Provide Visuals & Data Information for Actionable Intelligence
• Bring Public participation
• Public sharing of information through apps and website

Navigation system
 Real-Time and system-wide visibility of traffic & transit networks
 Historical performance insights of traffic & transit operations
 Proactive management of traffic congestions and transit schedule deviation issues through predictive insights
 On-premise and cloud delivery

Transformative, centralized management of traffic operations built on advanced analytics and collaborative processes
Solution Theme: Smarter Traffic Operations
Improve traffic operations and citizen driving experience using predictive analytics & collaborative incident management
• Improve decision making: Gain real-time situational awareness about current traffic performance and issues
• Improve service to citizens: Minimize negative human and commercial impact of congestions and incidents through proactive decisions
• Lower cost of upgrade: Lower solution cost leveraging prior investments and expanding the technology/vendor options
• Improve coordination & control: Dashboards that integrates operational tools and optimizes workforce
• Implement auditable best practices: Implement auditable collaborative processes for flow optimization and incident management

How it Works
Radar Camera Loop

 Wireless communication
 Self diagnostic
 Based on CoSiCoSt model
 Used real time data to optimize signal
 Best for Indian traffic scenario
 Successful implementation in various cities

Adaptive Navigation System

Parking Guidance System
 Guide the commuters towards parking slot
 Display the available slot in multi level parking
 Mobile app shows available parking slot of desired location

Speed Enforcement
 Automatic detection
 Image capture
 License No. plate recognition by ANPR
 Collect relevant parameters i.e. speed, date, time, location
 Data transfer to central control room
 Ticket generation against owner

Red Light Violation Detection
 Vehicle detection
 Capture Image & video
 Get LPN using ANPR system
 Collect relevant parameters
 Information Transfer to the central control room
 Ticket generation against the owner

Key Capability 1 : Traffic Awareness
Customer Pain Points Addressed:
 Lack of traffic situational awareness leading to little or no ability to manage traffic flows and incidents
 Lack of system-wide visibility for traffic condition & incident information due to very localized scope of existing traffic management systems
 Wide diversity of traffic data capture systems in terms of type of data produced, vendors, data format supported and legacy of technology
Business Value Delivered:
Real-Time & System-Wide Visibility of a Traffic Network
Business Functions:
 Real-time display of traffic conditions graphically as service levels on a road network as well as in tabular and report views
 Ability to be alerted to events/incidents on the network in real-time, graphically, in tabular view and through email or instant messages
 Ability to interrogate traffic related devices such as signals, signage, cameras etc. to obtain current status and feeds

Key Capability 2: Traffic Analytics
Customer Pain Points Addressed:
 Lack of insight into traffic flow patterns across the network, and as a function of time, leading to inability to formulate optimization strategies
 Lack of insight into incident and accident patterns making it harder to implement strategies for improving safety
 Lack of correlation data that connects incidents with traffic conditions making it harder to formulate incident response strategies
Business Value Delivered:
Insights into Patterns of Traffic Network Historical
Performance enabling the creation of performance improvement and performance fine-tuning plans
Business Functions:
 Analysis of historical patterns of traffic conditions and incidents
 Example, peak-hour volumes & congestion on the most critical links in the network as a function of location, time and speed limit on the links
 Ability to study historic correlation between traffic incidents of different types and traffic service levels to understand impact and plan for the future
 Example service level impact as a result of lane closures during different times of the day, to better manage maintenance activity

Key Capability 3: Traffic Prediction
Customer Pain Points Addressed:
 Reactive management of congestion is no longer an acceptable solution and is producing very small returns
 Influencing driving route choice of citizens must be an essential part of the solution for a road system with no scope for capacity expansion
 Better citizen advisory about anticipated delays has become a (political) necessity
Business Value Delivered:
Pro-Active Management of Traffic leading to reduction of citizen aggravation & negative commercial impact
Business Functions:
 Predictions of traffic conditions, up to an hour out using current and historical data of traffic as input
 Speed or volume predictions can be delivered
 Ability to perform scheduled auto-calculation as well as deliver calculations on demand
 Graphical display of predictions as traffic service levels on a road network, or providing actual data values in tabular or report views
 Historical accuracy reports of predictions
