Japanese tech may help ease India's Silicon Valley traffic
- 5 years ago
BANGALORE, INDIA — Traffic jams in India's Silicon Valley could be cut down by 30 percent with help of Japanese Intelligence Transportation System Technology.
A new intelligent transportation system will be installed in Bangalore, India in order control and reduce traffic jams throughout the city.
The project will cost $11.3 million which will be funded by Japan's International Cooperation Agency.
According to CNN, 72 sensors will be positioned over 12 traffic jam hot spots around the city. Special detectors will use ultrasonic signals to capture traffic data every 60 seconds.
Six thousand and seven hundred buses across the city will have GPS devices installed in them. Additionally, 16 cameras and sensors installed in eight locations will analyze traffic volume and speed.
Twenty-nine junctions will be equipped with special traffic lights that generate 'green waves'. Coordination between the traffic lights allow for uninterrupted traffic flow.
The system will be installed by March 2019, and will begin operating by mid-2020.
Japan's International Cooperation Agency has successfully installed an ITS in Moscow as well as similar systems in Sri Lanka and Cambodia.
