SRINAGAR ITMS PROJECT - 2019

Introduction

The Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC),under AMRUT (Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation) scheme of Govt of India,intended to install Intelligent Electronic Traffic Signal System with Operations & Monitoring of the traffic lights from a centralized Control room at 33 locations, with capability for further expansion and upgradation.Srinagar Municipal Corporation(SMC) wanted to modernize the traffic management and to integrate all 33 Adaptive Junctions with centralized ATCS control room. This has helped them to operate and monitor these junctions remotely, using camera-based Vehicle Detection Sensor technology and change the signal light timings on real time basis. The ITMS Project of Srinagar Municipal Corporation is more efficient, real time based and hence requires less waiting time for the motorists. The fast response time of Srinagar ITMS and excellent operations during emergency situations thus increases the traffic handling capacity of roads with very little or no jamming on the road.
Srinagar ITMS project has transformed the conventional FIXED time signaling System on city roads into a real-time state-of-the-art Control Room based Adaptive Traffic Control System.
 

Agencies Involved:

Nodal Agency - Srinagar Municipal Corporation

Implementation Agency - ENVOYS ElectronicsPvt. Ltd.

Major Milestone

• 6th November 2019– LOI for Survey, Design, Supply, Installation, Commissioning and Maintenance of Intelligent Traffic Signal System by Jammu Municipal
• 19th June 2021 - Completion of SITC of Intelligent Traffic Signal System including Pedestrian Signal Lights at 10 Locations.
• Installation work is going on at remaining 23 Location in Srinagar and is expected to complete by end of 2021.

Typical System Layout

ATCS Project: Major System Components

CDAC Technology based WiCAN Controllers – 33

Hi-Brite LED based Traffic Signal Lights –1692No.

Camera based Vehicle detection sensors - 120No.

CDAC’s COSICOST/TraMM application software based ATCS Command Control Center

Completion Certificate

CoSiCoSt – COMPOSITE SIGNAL CONTROL STRATEGY SOFTWARE

CoSiCoSt is an Adaptive Traffic Control System (ATCS) developed by Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC) 

    Adaptive Traffic Control Systems respond to changes in traffic patterns in real-time

    Continuously detect vehicular traffic volume, compute "optimal" signal timings based on this detected volume and simultaneously implement them at the traffic junction

    Results in reduced delays, shorter queues and decreased travel times
 

The major benefits of CoSiCoSt based ATCS System are -

    Reduction in Signal Cycle Time – from 180 seconds to 120 seconds average
    Improvement in Vehicle Speed – about 10% increase in traffic speed
    Reduction of stoppage delay on the network – about 17%
    Energy savings – 100%, as the entire system is solar based.
