The 25km-long Noida-Greater Noida expressway near Delhi, India, will have a complete functional intelligent traffic management system (ITMS) starting 10 February.

To be launched by an Austrian company for approximately INR300m ($5m), the new technology will monitor traffic along the expressway to ensure safe movement for commuters.

Accident rates on the Noida-Greater Noida expressway have reportedly decreased by roughly 25%, with the new technology that responds to vehicular and pedestrian traffic volumes.

By monitoring traffic, the ITMS will guide commuters to adapt speed to ensure smoother flow of traffic and increase coordination between police and emergency services.

In order to curb traffic violators, the Noida traffic police will also launch an e-challan system as part of the ITMS.



The traffic police installed 15 automatic number plate reader cameras along both sides of the expressway to enable the e-challan procedure, The Times of India reported.

The latest development comes on the heels of decision taken by the Delhi government to upgrade its existing traffic infrastructure.

ITMS is operated and managed by Onnyx, the city-based technology firm for the government.

In January Onnyx CEO Jitendra Kaushik told PTI that a live demonstration system has already been put in place at the junction of K G Marg and Ferozshah Road, which got a positive response from Delhi traffic police department.

Under the new system, CCTV cameras will gather footage of traffic inflow at any given junction.
