Cities across India are increasingly adopting Artificial Intelligence (AI) and smart mobility solutions to tackle rising traffic congestion, improve road safety, and enhance urban transportation efficiency. Intelligent Traffic Management Systems (ITMS) use real-time monitoring, automated signal control, and violation detection technologies to reduce travel times and improve traffic flow. Vizag’s Project SARTHI aligns with this national trend, positioning the city among the growing number of urban centers embracing smart-city infrastructure and AI-powered traffic management.
Vizag Traffic to Get a Major Technology Upgrade
Vizag is set to take a significant step toward becoming a smarter city with the approval of Project SARTHI, a major traffic modernization initiative worth ₹99.19 crore. The project aims to improve traffic flow, enhance road safety, and reduce congestion through advanced technology-driven solutions.
As traffic volumes continue to grow across Visakhapatnam, authorities are focusing on intelligent systems that can respond to real-time conditions and improve the commuting experience for residents and visitors.
AI-Powered Smart Signals Across the City
One of the key features of Project SARTHI is the implementation of AI-powered smart traffic signals. Unlike traditional traffic lights that operate on fixed timings, these intelligent systems can analyze vehicle movement and adjust signal durations accordingly.
This technology is expected to reduce waiting times at intersections, improve traffic flow, and minimize congestion during peak hours across Vizag.
101 Junctions to Get Intelligent Traffic Management
Under the project, an Intelligent Traffic Management System (ITMS) will be installed at 101 major junctions across Vizag. The system will provide centralized monitoring and data-driven traffic management capabilities.
Officials expect the upgraded infrastructure to help streamline traffic operations while improving efficiency in handling high-volume road networks.
Violation Detection Cameras and Real-Time Monitoring
Project SARTHI will also introduce advanced violation detection cameras capable of identifying traffic rule violations automatically. These systems will support better enforcement and help improve road discipline.
In addition, real-time traffic monitoring technology will allow authorities to track traffic conditions instantly and respond quickly to congestion, accidents, or other road-related issues.
A Future-Ready Vizag
The approval of Project SARTHI marks another important milestone in Vizag’s smart-city journey. By combining AI technology, intelligent monitoring, and automated traffic management, the city aims to create a safer, faster, and more efficient transportation network.
With ₹99.19 crore allocated for the initiative, Project SARTHI is expected to play a key role in shaping the future of urban mobility in Vizag.
