India Launched AI-Powered Traffic Management System

Context: India has launched its first AI-powered traffic management system on Delhi’s Dwarka Expressway and NH-48, utilising AI cameras and real-time alerts to monitor traffic, detect violations, and enhance road safety.

AI-Powered Traffic Management System

• Launched Location: Dwarka Expressway and part of National Highway 48 (NH-48) in Delhi.
• Implemented By: National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) under its Digital Highways initiative.
• Technology Used: Artificial Intelligence-powered Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS).

Components of the System

• 110 high-resolution PTZ cameras for real-time surveillance.
• AI-based Automatic Incident Detection (AID)
