Command Control and Communication Centre

Objective

The Authority has envisaged implementation of an Integrated Command & Control Center
(ICCC) and Digital infrastructure in the city. Through this initiative, the Authority plans to utilize
information technology to build a well-informed, connected, smart and intelligent system of
systems to help in providing an efficient and effective citizen service. ICCC is envisaged as a
nervous system of the city which shall enable collation of information and collaborative
engagement among city stakeholders, thus helping in the analysis of data for quicker decision-
making.

The key objective of this project is to establish a collaborative framework where input from
different functional departments such as Transport, Water, Solid Waste Management, Fire,
Police, Traffic, egovernance etc. can be assimilated and analyzed on a single platform for
building an effective decision support system. Indicative municipal and non-municipal services
that can be supported well by ICCC are depicted in the infographic as below.
Envisaged Benefits for the city

Following benefits are the envisaged though ICCC,

a. Enable real-time monitoring of various facets of management of {CITY_NAME} Smart City i.e.,
Security, Traffic, e-governance services, City Utilities and many more.

b. Increased Traffic Efficiency: Reduction in stoppage time, optimized cycle times of intersection
to regulate and maintain free flow of traffic to enhance the efficiency of the road & transport
infrastructure. Traffic intersections designed for differently abled should help in improving the
quality of life and convenience for people with disability.

c. Increased Travel Speed: Optimized signal timings shall result in improved road network
performance, enabling higher travel speed. It shall be possible to plan traffic diversions and
traffic re-routing for a particular public event and avoid road congestion and minimize
inconvenience to the citizens.

d. Increase Operational Efficiency: City Authorities intend to spend more time on public facing
functions. Thus, ICCC solutions should help in reducing repetitive paperwork/records & making
the back-office as well as city operations management functions more efficient.

e. Safety Improvement: The real-time safety management, traffic monitoring and intelligent
traffic control can help prevent accidents and also respond to potentially dangerous situations
in advance. f. Higher Productivity: Achieving improvement in the productivity, logistics and
other economic activities by obtaining precise real-time information on transport due to the
availability of data on traffic flow in key areas of the city.

g. Solid waste management: Addressing the challenges through monitoring mechanisms, instant
communication, data-based decisions and automation to bring efficiency and cost effectiveness
across the SWM life cycle, convenience to the citizens and cleaner, healthier environment.

h. Real Time Information & Response: The real-time information at the ICCC shall help in taking
necessary actions and execute the required responses such as sending an emergency vehicle to
the spot, arranging alternate routes to VIP convoys, diverting the traffic to different routes etc.
It shall be possible to track a particular event using the cameras installed at the traffic junction.
 i. Creating awareness and educating the public: Through VMD boards, awareness of current
traffic situations, road traffic rules and safe driving precautions shall be imparted to road users.

j. Enforcement: Continued monitoring of traffic flow at junctions shall reduce the traffic related
offences like- Red Light violation and Stop line violations, resulting in effective enforcement of
traffic regulations.

k. Reduction in Pollution: Optimized traffic flow shall lead to less congestion which shall have a
direct impact on the carbon emitted by the vehicles. This shall help improve the air quality of
the city and help meet the sustainable goals.

Technologies Of Traffic Control System

ITMS: Intelligent Traffic Management System

Intelligent Traffic Management is designed to detect and track vehicles as well as pedestrians
and to estimate a safety metric for an intersection.

Object tracking recognizes the same object across successive frames, giving the ability to
estimate trajectories and speeds of the objects. The reference implementation also detects
collisions and near misses. A real-time dashboard visualizes the intelligence extracted from the
traffic intersection along with annotated video stream(s).

ATCS(Adaptive Traffic Control System)

Detection of real-time traffic conditions is a critical input for efficient operations. The value of
reduced economic productivity due to time lost in traffic congestions, wastage of fuel, and the
effect of pollution is staggering. As a result, the demand for better traffic management solutions
is more significant than ever before. Adaptive Traffic Control System (ATCS) is a solution that
automatically adapts the timings of traffic lights based on real-time traffic conditions to
optimize the flow of traffic.

ATCS makes use of cameras and sensors for monitoring the traffic. These sensors collect data,
which are evaluated to improve signal timings at a particular junction. The sensing network can
adapt to the changing traffic density patterns and provide necessary signals to the traffic
controller or the Command Center on a real-time basis. It allows signals to interact with each
other and make adjustments to the signal timings to keep traffic flow congestion free.

ATCS comprising following components.

i. Adaptive Traffic Controller

ii. Vehicle Detection Camera
iii. ATCS Application Software

Traffic Enforcement System

TES is an end-to-end solution which automatically detect the violating vehicle by using
appropriate non-Intrusive sensors technology. The system is capable and configurable to
complete the automation of the challan processing / printing process with manual verification.
This shall automatically capture the relevant information of vehicle and integrate it with the
vehicle database.

i. Red Light Violation Detection (RLVD) System

ii. Speed Violation Detection Systems (SVDS)
iii. Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) System
iv. E-Challan System
