Bengaluru trials Japanese traffic signal technology to reduce congestion

Recently, a new traffic signaling system for cars and pedestrians has been activated at the intersection of Murphy Road and Kensington Road in Ulsoor. It is based on the Japanese MODERATO (Management of Origin-Destination-Related Adaptation for Traffic Optimisation) technology.

These traffic lights, which are located at 28 significant intersections along Bengaluru's MG Road, Hosur Road, and Old Madras Road, have been out of commission for a few months due to a number of issues, but they will soon be brought back into service. There are now fixed traffic signal times at these intersections, independent of the volume of traffic. With the new technology, signals will be able to automatically adjust according to the number of cars at each intersection.

For a week, the signal at the intersection of Murphy Road and Kensington Road has been temporarily activated in order to inspect the installation and switching processes. The project's implementer, the Directorate of Urban Land Transport (DULT), Commissioner Deepa Cholan, told Moneycontrol that the real testing of the signals will start the final week of February 2024.

The Murphy Road and Kensington Road junction has had a temporary signal installed for a week while the installation and switching procedures are inspected. The Directorate of Urban Land Transport (DULT), which is in charge of carrying out the project, Commissioner Deepa Cholan, informed Moneycontrol that the actual testing of the signals would begin in the last week of February 2024.
