BANGALORE: As part of the B-Trac 2010 project, the City Traffic police launched the Interim Traffic Management Centre at Ashoknagar police station on Friday.

The Centre has been designed to house a traffic wireless system, traffic surveillance system, traffic signaling system, traffic helpline and traffic planning operations which will be deployed under B-TRAC 2010. It will have information data from 182 traffic signals spread across the city.

It will give live feed of images from the 80 surveillance cameras installed at various junctions in the city and traffic violation data from the five enforcement cameras installed in the city.

The Traffic Management Centre is the hub of a transportation management system, where information about transportation network will be collected and combined with other operational and control data to manage the transportation network and to deliver traveller information.

For better understanding of the situation, domain experts in the form of transportation engineers will be housed in the TMC to provide their expertise in analysing and communicating the desired output.
