The digitisation of work environments has transformed the way government departments and even the private sectors operate. What transformation has been witnessed in Raipur Smart City’s operations?
Raipur Smart City Limited has adopted digitisation of work. The geo-tagging of the trees done and monitored with the help of Tree Census Application is one of the major projects of smart city Raipur under Mor Green- “Tree Plantation” Campaign and development of Tree Census application and integration of attributes of tree data. The goal of this application is to protect, preserve, conserve and boost cultivation of trees in Municipal areas. Identification of trees and documentation of trees is the major task, which has been digitised through Mor Green-Tree Census Application. The major components of the App are mentioned below:
How are you leveraging emerging technologies like AI, ML, IoT, Cloud, etc. to augment urban development, improve service delivery, and enhance citizen engagement?
We have incorporated three cases such as Case I- Traffic control at major Junctions of the city; Case II- Search of theft vehicle, hit and run vehicle, hot listed vehicle etc. by its make, model & colour; Case III- Intrusion detection, Crowd Gathering identification, Unattended baggage identification, Camera tampering identification and Suspect Search. For Case I: we have the Adaptive Traffic Control System, which is a special type of traffic signal system management strategy where the timing of the traffic signals depends on actual demand time. This system provides centralised control for traffic management. The components of Adaptive Traffic Control System consist of items like Traffic Controller, which is the heart of the traffic control system and is micro-controller based which is used to control the traffic signal system. All the traffic controllers will be centrally connected to the Command Control Room and can be controlled from the Central Traffic Control Room. This will help in reducing congestion and improving traffic flow.
The traffic signal system can be made to run in the following modes like the Vehicle actuated mode. This mode is driven by data received from the detector camera. The traffic signal will execute stage timings as per demand within the constraints of minimum green time and maximum green time. The cycle time may vary for every cycle time. Secondly, we have the Vehicle Detector. Here the camera-based vehicle detection system will be used which will be integrated with the Traffic Controller. The detector camera will detect and analyse the vehicle count at all approaches of intersection and will compute the required demand time for each phase of the signal system. Besides, we have the ATCS Application to minimise the stops and improve traffic flow. The system has the capability to operate in real time and calculate the optimal cycle time, green time, for each junction. This calculation is based on assessments carried out by the ATCS software application running in the command control room. The software will also maintain error logs, database for time plan execution, and performance of the system.
What is the success rate of using these technologies? What has been the overall impact in the city of Raipur?
We have observed many positive changes. Traffic violation cases have dropped. Physical presence of Traffic Police at every junction is reduced. Traffic challan creation process and violence evidence collection have become transparent and simple. Final challans are generated from NIC. Total generated Challans by Raipur Traffic Police is 80890.Total amount collected from generated Challans by Raipur Traffic Police is Rs 2,31,68,700. There are a reduced number of vehicle theft cases. There is better monitoring of suspected vehicles, offenders by Raipur Police. Support in evidence collection over criminal cases has escalated. Raipur Traffic Police have solved nearly 600 cases related to vehicle theft, road accident and crime cases using ICCC traffic enforcement system. There is marked reduction in vehicle theft, criminal cases at public places. Now there are real time alerts to the Police department from ICCC, in case of intrusion detection in VVIP zones, suspicious bags detection, public places, using video analytics software. Also, there is reduced response time of security forces due to real time triggered alerts from ICCC in case of Mob gathering and any law-and-order Issues.
