Srinagar ITMS Project - 2019
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
Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC)
PROJECT INTRODUCTION
The Srinagar Municipal Corporation (SMC),under AMRUT (Atal Mission for Rejuvenation and Urban Transformation) scheme of Govt of India,intended to install Intelligent Electronic Traffic Signal System with Operations & Monitoring of the traffic lights from a centralized Control room at 33 locations, with capability for further expansion and upgradation. Srinagar Municipal Corporation(SMC) wanted to modernize the traffic management and to integrate all 33 Adaptive Junctions with centralized ATCS control room. This has helped them to operate and monitor these junctions remotely, using camera-based Vehicle Detection Sensor technology and change the signal light timings on real time basis. The ITMS Project of Srinagar Municipal Corporation is more efficient, real time based and hence requires less waiting time for the motorists. The fast response time of Srinagar ITMS and excellent operations during emergency situations thus increases the traffic handling capacity of roads with very little or no jamming on the road.
Srinagar ITMS project has transformed the conventional FIXED time signaling System on city roads into a real-time state-of-the-art Control Room based Adaptive Traffic Control System.

TYPICAL SYSTEM LAYOUT
Major System Components
CoSiCoSt – COMPOSITE SIGNAL CONTROL STRATEGY SOFTWARE
CoSiCoSt is an Adaptive Traffic Control System (ATCS) developed by Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC)
- 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
- 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 –
Adaptive Traffic Control System(ATCS) Command & Control Center allows – - Editing, creation & uploading of Traffic parameters
- Ensures close co-ordination with Police and other agencies
- Provides traffic management and coordination for events & works.
