Executive Summary

A metropolitan authority implemented an IoT-based traffic management system that collects real-time data from sensors, cameras, and connected vehicles to optimize traffic flow, reduce congestion, and improve air quality.

Challenge

The city faced increasing traffic congestion, resulting in longer commute times, higher pollution levels, and citizen dissatisfaction. Traditional traffic management systems lacked real-time adaptability.

Solution

Deployment of a network of IoT sensors and cameras at key intersections, connected to an AI-powered traffic management platform. The system dynamically adjusts traffic light timing based on real-time conditions and provides alternative route recommendations.
