Sensors to be installed at traffic signals in Thane to ease congestion, make travel smooth

Ever wondered how traffic signals could ease traffic congestion in the city? The traffic management system synchronized with google maps will aim to ease congestion, like this traffic snarl at Teen Haath Naka in Thane. The Thane Municipal Corporation will soon synchronise the signal systems at prime junctions in the city with Google Maps sensors to intelligently manage traffic depending on the density of congestion. In order to ease congestion, the municipal corporation has decided to implement a Rs2.82-crore Adaptive Traffic Management System that uses satellite sensors. “We realised that the traffic is heavily concentrated at few prime junctions, such as, Eastern Express Highway, Ghodbunder Road and Thane station area, which leads to traffic congestion in the entire city,” said the civic official.
