The Union government plans to expand an AI-based Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) across 1,200 km of highways and expressways in the Delhi-NCR region. Building on a model deployed on the Dwarka Expressway, the system will use surveillance cameras, radar speed detectors, ANPR cameras, and video analytics to monitor traffic violations and incidents in real time. It aims to enhance traffic enforcement and incident management by enabling automatic detection of speeding, wrong-way driving, crashes, and other hazards, with emergency services alerted promptly. Bids have been invited for initial stretches including the Delhi-Agra section of NH-19, with implementation expected within six to seven months followed by four years of operation.
