The Jaipur Development Authority announced a ten‑year plan to introduce an artificial‑intelligence based traffic control system across the city, aiming to reduce congestion and improve road safety.
Jaipur Development Authority (JDA) disclosed a comprehensive ten‑year roadmap to install an AI‑driven traffic management platform throughout the city. The plan, unveiled in a press briefing, targets a phased rollout that will integrate real‑time data analytics, adaptive signal control and predictive congestion alerts.
The technology is expected to streamline vehicle flow at major intersections, cut travel times and lower accident rates by dynamically adjusting signal timings based on live traffic conditions. JDA officials said the system will also feed data to law‑enforcement and emergency services for quicker response.
Implementation will begin with pilot projects at three high‑traffic corridors in the first two years, followed by city‑wide expansion. The authority will collaborate with technology partners, the Rajasthan Transport Department and municipal bodies to ensure seamless integration with existing infrastructure.
While exact funding details were not disclosed, JDA indicated that the rollout will be financed through a mix of state allocations and private‑sector participation. Industry analysts view the initiative as a significant step toward smart‑city development in Rajasthan.
