As a strategic initiative aimed at enhancing automobile motion, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) recently initiated an computerized traffic-management system. This pilot challenge focuses on optimising visitors throughout four vital roads throughout the capital metropolis.
Chadchart Sittipunt, the Governor of Bangkok, divulged that the trendy system is to be put in at 13 intersections on key metropolis routes, counting Rama VI Road, Ratchawithi Road, Phahon Yothin Road, and Praditpat Road. He mentioned the problem of deploying near a thousand officers throughout town to handle Bangkok visitors lights, half of whom are site visitors light controllers. Due to insufficient information-sharing measures between models, efficiency is often undermined.
Providing an answer to this encumbrance, the newly installed Bangkok Area Traffic Control Project (BATCP) guarantees to rectify such inefficiencies.
BATCP is programmed to collate valuable information including car density, waiting durations at traffic intersections, and areas experiencing extended tailbacks. These components of knowledge will then be utilised to manage Bangkok visitors successfully and inhibit the exacerbation of jams. Additionally, the new system is pegged to supply relief to the prevailing workforce of site visitors officers.
With the growth of this intelligent system to cover greater than 500 points throughout the town by the year 2026, BMA seeks to provide motorists with advanced Bangkok visitors data accessible by way of their smartphones. Super secret will allow street customers to plan their journey routes in advance optimising time and gasoline effectivity, reported Bangkok Post.
Offering further perception into this system, the Deputy Governor of Bangkok, Visanu Samsompol make clear the method.
“Cameras have been installed at intersections and are integrated with a broader city-wide management system to realize improved network synchronisation.”
He added that tools able to detecting congestion on the roads shall be in place to enhance the calculation of visitors signal timings. Moreover, volumetric knowledge shall be collated to help the police in managing Bangkok visitors..
