Bhubaneswar ATCS Project - 2017
Envoys’ Adaptive Traffic Control System (ATCS) is a dynamic traffic management solution that uses real-time vehicle density data from various sensors to optimize signal timings. This system facilitates smoother traffic flow and enhances the efficiency of traffic signal operations across urban networks.
CLIENT
Bhubaneswar Smart City Limited (BSCL)
PROJECT INTRODUCTION
The city of Bhubaneswar has been selected to be developed into a smart city under the first phase of the Smart Cities Mission launched by the MoUD. The Client – Bhubaneswar Smart City Limited (BSCL) is the special purpose vehicle incorporated to implement the Smart Cities Mission in Bhubaneswar in accordance with the Smart City proposals.
The Smart City Proposals include the application of certain pan-city smart solutions, which involve the use of technology, information and data to improve infrastructure and services within the city of Bhubaneswar.

TYPICAL SYSTEM LAYOUT
ATCS Project: Major System Components
Adaptive Traffic Control System (ATCS) with VCAM
- Adaptive Traffic Control Systems respond to changes in traffic patterns in real-time
- Continuously detect vehicular traffic volume, compute “optimal” signal timings based on this detected volume and simultaneously implement them at the traffic junction
- Camera integrated with controller to optimise red and green time based on density.
- Results in reduced delays, shorter queues and decreased travel times
The Major Benefits Of CoSiCoSt Based ATCS System Are –
- Reduction in Signal Cycle Time – from 180 seconds to 120 seconds average
- Improvement in Vehicle Speed – about 10% increase in traffic speed
- Reduction of stoppage delay on the network – about 17%
- Energy savings – 100%, as the entire system is solar based.
Command & Control Center
State-of-the-art Command & Control Center for monitoring of various ITS sub-systems –
- Video Incident Detection System
- Red Light/Speed violation Detection
- Variable Message Signs (VMS)
- CCTV based Junction Surveillance
- Adaptive Traffic Control System(ATCS)
Command & Control Center allows –
- Provides traffic management and coordination for events & works.
- Ensures close co-ordination with Police and other agencies
- Editing, creation & uploading of Traffic parameters & VMS messages.
