How can we Manage Traffic

In Delhi
 1. Substantial increase in the number of vehicles on Delhi roads in
recent years.

2. The road length in Delhi has increased at the rate of 4.53% per year,
which, of course, is not in pace with the growing population.

3. At the intersections, the cycle time ranges from 120 to 180 seconds,
which leads to long queues, especially in the peak hours.

4. Delhi roads are characterised by mixed traffic, which include,

Causes : personal vehicles, buses, trucks, three-wheelers, two-wheelers,
including animal-driven carts and pedestrians. This creates problems
for traffic.

5. Increase in the growth of the population in Delhi, which includes the

growing number of workforce, is another important cause.

6. There has been inadequate public transport system in Delhi. In spite

of metro and bus services, the transport system is not being able to
keep pace with the growing population, leads to MORE usage of
private vehicles.
 1. Completion of second phase of Delhi Metro has provided a
convenient public transport system to the commuters of Delhi
and the adjoining NCR cities of Gurgaon, Noida and
Ghaziabad.

2. More than 3,500 low floor air-conditioned and non-

airconditioned buses, including corporate sector buses, have
been introduced by the Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC).
What is Govt 3. Construction of new roads, foot bridges, flyovers and
Doing widening of existing road network.

About it ? 4. A Delhi Transport Infrastructure Development Corporation

has been set up to manage Inter- State Bus Terminals in
Delhi.

5. Ring Road bypass and elevated corridors and underpass in

some areas of Delhi and Delhi NCR working and just
constructed .
 1. Designing a well-maintained and well-developed
public transport system.
2. Designing separate roads or lanes to control speeds and
vehicles of different sizes, weights and velocities.
3. Promoting traffic safety and traffic rules through
education, advertising and strict enforcement.
4. Improvements in vehicle design.
What else 5. Strict enforcement of travel demand management and
policies to be adopted to reduce the use of private
can vehicles.
6. Ensuring safety and convenience to commuters of
Govt do ? public transport and pedestrians.
7. Introduction of cost-effective, environment-friendly
and efficient new modes of public transport for
congested lanes, streets and feeder system for major
public transport.
8. Last but not the least, encouraging walking and

 What is ?

Intelligent Transport System (ITS)

&
Delhi integrated Multi-modal
Transit system Ltd.(DIMTS)
1. The main objective of DIMTS is to provide safe, accessible, reliable, sustainable and user-friendly public transport for
commuters and set up a mechanism to deliver public transport service that keeps pace with growth.

2. It is basically the use of computer and communications technologies in the resolution of transport problems.

3. It can help in timely gathering of data or intelligence and then providing feedback to traffic managers and road-users. 

4. Implementation of ITS can lead to reduced traffic congestion, better traffic efficiency, better safety to drivers, improved
energy efficiency and increased economic productivity. Some examples of ITS include:

• Advanced Traffic Management Systems

• Advanced Vehicle Control Systems
• Advanced Traveller Information Systems
• Electronic Toll Collection Systems
• Advanced Public Transportation Systems
• Wireless Traffic Signal Controller
• Red Light-Stop Line Violation & Detection System
• CCTV Junction Surveillance
• Variable Message Sign
• Video Incident Detection etc

• This has already been adopted in other countries for effective management of traffic. In Delhi, it has started only recently.
Proper implementation of ITS will definitely improve the scenario.
