In a pilot project, Bengaluru Traffic Police geofence 10 signals around K.C. General Hospital to give clearance for ambulances

After trying adaptive signals and synchronised signals for years now to ensure the free movement of ambulances on the busy city streets, the Bengaluru Traffic Police have hit upon a novel, yet simple mechanism to solve the problem. It is a novel solution and can be easily scaled up to all signals across the city and we can give clearance to all ambulances through this mechanism. “As per our data, each day the city records around 3,000 ambulance trips, including the ‘108’ service and private ambulances. A representative of the ‘108’ ambulance service sits at the Traffic Management Centre in the city, and they can flag ambulance trips that need to be given clearance, for now, sources said.
