Union Cabinet Approves Rs 1,789 Crore AI-Based Traffic Management System for Delhi
The Union Cabinet, chaired by Prime Minister Narendra Modi, approved a Rs 1,789.52 crore Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS) for Delhi Police to improve traffic flow across 42 corridors. Implemented over 24 months in three phases with five years of maintenance, the system will use AI-enabled adaptive signals, real-time data, automated enforcement, and integrated command controls. It aims to reduce congestion, prioritize emergency vehicles, and replace fixed signal timings with dynamic traffic management to address Delhi's growing vehicle population and infrastructure challenges.
