India gets first 3-D traffic signal in Mohali. \u201cTraditional methods of traffic police to control and regulate traffic are very much labour-intensive and two-dimensional. Employing the 3-D technique to make traffic signal fully actuated and on a real-time basis is first of its kind in the country. This will be a major leapfrog towards better and economical traffic management system,\u201d said Dr Sharad Satya Chauhan, ADGP (Traffic), while addressing the media.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ADGP Chauhan said that Rajya Sabha on Thursday had passed\namendments which mandate state governments to ensure electronic monitoring and\nenforcement of road safety on national highways, state highways and urban roads\nas per guidelines framed by the Central government. He added that a memorandum\nof understanding to conduct research and development in the area of IT and\ncomputation for traffic police with start-up Anukai Solutions of Chitkara\nUniversity was signed in the month of September last year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The new system will have sensors which would automatically\nswitch on the green and red signals depending upon the number of vehicles\ncoming from that particular side and would reduce the time to stop at the\ntraffic signals.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

ADGP Chauhan said that the actuated signals incur high\ninitial and maintenance costs than fixed-time signals. The cost varies from Rs\n70 lakh to Rs 1 crore.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThis simple mechanism will just cost 1 per cent to the\nfixed signal cost and it will start working as a fully actuated signal. Not\nonly will it lead to a huge saving in cost, but this will also reduce the\ntendency to jump traffic light and reduce travel time,\u201d ADGP Chauhan said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

According to the ADGP, these signals are calibrated on the\nmovement of traffic but keeping 15 second in each direction as a minimum time,\nessentially required for the safe crossing of pedestrians.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The ADGP said that around 450 traffic signals operational\nacross Punjab can be converted into 3D fully actuated traffic signals after the\nsuccessful completion of the pilot project in Mohali on a fully commercial\nscale. This is a base technology and further extensions like synchronisation of\ntraffic lights, creation of green corridor and managing the traffic lights of\nentire Punjab while sitting at one place is possible too.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
