Description

Our visit to the Traffic Management Center in Bengaluru was an insightful experience that offered a behind-the-scenes look at how the city’s traffic is monitored and managed in real time. We were welcomed by the staff of the Bengaluru City Traffic Police, who provided a detailed overview of the center’s operations. We learned how the TMC uses a network of surveillance cameras, adaptive traffic signal systems, and AI-powered analytics to regulate traffic flow, respond to incidents, and ensure road safety. It was fascinating to observe the live feeds from various junctions across the city and understand how decisions are made quickly to reduce congestion. The session also highlighted the role of citizen cooperation, enforcement through automated systems like red-light violation detection, and future plans for smarter urban mobility. Overall, the visit gave us a deeper appreciation of the complexity involved in managing traffic in a bustling metropolis like Bengaluru.
