Pune Police raise concerns over effectiveness of Adaptive Traffic Management System

Hindustan Times  

While Smart City projects including the Adaptive Traffic Management System are being handled by the Pune Municipal Corporation ever since the union government scrapped the Pune Smart City Development Company Limited, the police have raised concerns over the effectiveness of the ATMS in solving traffic problems. The police have also asked the PMC for information to determine the minimum offset time needed to synchronise signals at two nearby intersections. Last week, Pune police commissioner Amitesh Kumar wrote a letter to the PMC commissioner raising concerns over the effectiveness of the ATMS, pointing out that the fixed signal timings do not suit the changing traffic conditions throughout the day and are causing more traffic jams and inconvenience for the citizens. Around 15 days ago, the PSCDCL wrote a letter to the PMC, asking the latter to take charge of the ATMS and pay annual operation and maintenance charges to the operating company.
