The implementation of 'intelligent traffic management system (ITMS)' in the city for efficient traffic management with less manual intervention has once again come to the fore.
The project was proposed nearly a decade ago by the Vijayawada Municipal Corporation and the city police in view of rising vehicular traffic. However, due to various reasons, including lack of funds, the project had not materialised.
Now, with the funds sanctioned to the city under the 15th Finance Commission grant to improve air quality in the city, the ITMS project is back on the cards.
