Jaipur Plans Citywide Shift to AI-Based Intelligent Traffic Management System
Jaipur is set to transition from fixed-timer traffic signals to a fully AI-based Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS) following a successful 39-day pilot at Rambagh Circle. The AI system uses smart cameras to monitor real-time traffic density, dynamically adjusting signal timings to ease congestion and reduce pollution. After managing over 4.88 lakh vehicles without manual control, authorities plan to expand the system to 253 of the city's 423 intersections, aiming for smoother traffic flow across Jaipur.
