Traffic woes in Bihar’s key urban centers are on the verge of ending as Adaptive AI-powered smart cameras prepare to transform roadways in Patna, Biharsharif, Bhagalpur, and Muzaffarpur. Drawing from proven models in tech-savvy cities such as Delhi, Bengaluru, and Hyderabad, this technology promises self-regulating signals that respond instantly to traffic pressures.
The state police have submitted the plan to transport officials, with tenders to follow approval. These cameras represent a fusion of AI and urban planning, designed to tackle Bihar’s growing congestion crisis head-on.
At their core, the systems scan live data to tweak signal timings: more vehicles on one side mean longer greens, while quieter lanes get quicker cycles. Expect fewer gridlocks and faster journeys across major junctions.
Enforcement gets a high-tech upgrade too, with automated e-challans for 14 violations including no helmets, ignored seatbelts, distracted driving on phones, overloading bikes, reverse direction travel, and signal breaches. The dual goal? Slash accidents by 25% and double fine collections for better road funding.
Bhagalpur leads with installations eyed at high-traffic nodes: Zero Mile, Tilka Manjhi, Manali, Adampur, Kachahari, Khalifa Bagh, Station, Tatarpur, and Nathnagar roundabouts. Daily commuters stuck in endless queues will finally breathe easy.
Fuel savings, time efficiency, stricter rule adherence, and fewer crashes are on the horizon. Aligning perfectly with national smart city goals, this move positions Bihar as a forward-thinking leader in traffic innovation, delivering safer, swifter roads for all.
