Bengaluru begins testing new adaptive Japanese traffic signal tech
A new adaptive traffic signalling system based on Japanese ‘MODERATO’ technology has been set up in Bengaluru to reduce traffic congestion in the city by automatically adapting traffic signals based on real-time data, according to a report by MoneyControl. This innovative system is poised to be deployed at 28 major junctions across the city after the initial rounds of testing conclude.
The Directorate of Urban Land Transport (DULT) is overseeing the project, which is currently undergoing testing at the Kensington Road and Murphy Road signals. Full-scale testing is scheduled to begin in the last week of February 2024. If successful, all 28 signals are expected to be operational by March 2024.
