GMDA connects live feed from 109 smart signals with traffic tower in Gurugram

The live traffic feed from these signals can be used to analyse the traffic data generated by the smart signals, a spokesperson of the authority said.

The Gurugram Metropolitan Development Authority (GMDA) on Tuesday said that phase one of the smart traffic signals project is completed and now 109 such signals are fully operational and their live feed (data from traffic signals) has been integrated with the Integrated Command & Control Centre (ICCC) of GMDA and also with Traffic Tower, (Gurugram traffic police control room) enabling the traffic police department to closely monitor and manage signal operations in real time.

The live traffic feed from these signals can be used to analyse the traffic data generated by the smart signals, and these can be remotely operated from the traffic control, a spokesperson of the authority said.

A dedicated engineer has also been deployed by the authority at the traffic police tower to ensure smooth functioning of the smart signals, said GMDA officials.

Under Phase 1 of the project, the authority has installed smart traffic signals at 109 junctions in sectors 1–57.

As per authority officials, the smart traffic signals are equipped with adaptive traffic control systems (ATCS) and vehicle detector cameras that automatically regulate signal timings based on real-time traffic conditions. This technology ensures smoother vehicular movement, reduces congestion, and enables the creation of green corridors to prioritise emergency vehicles.

According to GMDA officials, phase one of the project has been executed at a cost of ₹16.82 crore, while phase two is being implemented at a cost of ₹7.43 crore.
