Mysore: The Mysuru City Police have upgraded traffic signals with a new software technology to prevent congestion and for easy movement of vehicles. They have installed more than 50 traffic signals at various junctions. Notably, in Karnataka, Mysuru is the second city to have such an upgraded signal system after capital city Bengaluru.
Earlier, traffic signals functioned on a fixed-time mode and now it has been upgraded with automated signals that change colour based on the traffic volume on each stretch. These advanced signals prioritise traffic movement depending on traffic density and VVIP movements. They change colours automatically and in a real-time mode. They support multiple communication methods (GPRS/ EDGE/ 3G/ 4G/ Wi-Fi/ Fibre Optic) for remote operations. They are fully customised with other intelligent transport system like Variable Message Signal (VMS), warning system and speed detection.
