3. INTRODUCTION
India, the second most populous country in the world, and a fast growing
economy, is seeing terrible road congestion problems in its cities. Building
infrastructure, levying proper taxes to curb private vehicle growth and
improving public transport facilities are long-term solutions to this problem.
These permanent solution approaches need government intervention. The
Government of India has committed Rs.234,000 crores in the urban
infrastructure sector . Bus Rapid Transit (BRT), metro rails and mono rails are
being built in different cities to encourage the use of public transport. But still
there is a steep growth of private vehicles . Some cities like Bengaluru, Pune,
Hyderabad and delhi, with their sudden growths in the IT sector, also have a
steep growth in population, further increasing transportation needs.
8. Another set of applications can aid the commuters on
roads.
(1) Congestion maps and travel time estimates –
(2) Public transport information –
(3) Individual vehicle management –
(4) Accident handling -
9. Sensing
Static Sensing
(1) Loops and magnetic sensors –
(2) Images and videos-
(3) Acoustic sensors –
(4) RF sensors -
Static sensing: India specific questions
Adapting to chaotic traffic –
New techniques for chaotic traffic -
10. Mobile sensing: techniques
(1) GPS on public transport or fleet vehicles –
Incentive models –
Noise reduction –
Hybrid sensing: techniques
(1) Teledensity
(2) Bluetooth
(3) RFID

TMICC Applications
15. Benefits of TMICC
• Improvement in overall traffic flow by efficient traffic management
thereby improving the efficiency of transportation network.
• Improved flow of traffic resulting in savings in time for commuters.
• Increased road user satisfaction driven by access to real-time
information of traffic.
• Reduction in traffic congestion.
• Capital expenditure on physical infrastructure build-up to cater to
traffic requirements can be avoided or postponed.
• Reduction in energy consumption for transportation
• Reduction in pollution and Green House Gas (GHG) emissions
16. • Improved planning for traffic management both, for short term
measures as well as long term interventions based on data mining
and analysis.
• Useful for accident data collection and analysis.
• Collected data can be used for framing the traffic policy for the city.
• Improvement in coordination amongst various agencies and enabling
faster responses to incidents
