The Traffic Management Centre will be inaugurated on 30 December 2013, by K Siddaramaiah, Chief Minister of Karnataka, on Infantry road in Bangalore.
Karnataka State Housing Corporation has undertaken construction of the Traffic Management Centre project which was adopted by traffic police as part of a modernisation plan under B-Trac.
For the Traffic Management Centre the police department has spent about Rs 25-30 crore for the building.
Traffic Management Centre is a five storey building and consists of a huge video wall 75 inches diagonally, and 40 workstations, to simultaneously monitor various parts of the city. The Centre will be used to serve twin purposes - incident monitoring and enforcement - through surveillance systems.
It will be fed with the data received from 353 traffic signals, 179 surveillance cameras and five enforcement cameras. It also has a traffic automation unit to generate enforcement challans and a traffic helpline.
The Centre has a video / film hall for traffic education / awareness for school children and road users, besides a huge parking space which can accommodate 25 four-wheelers and more than 200 two-wheelers. The Centre will receive data regarding tolerable queue length, congestion or an accident / incident on roads.
