Area Traffic Control System

Urban Traffic Management and Control (UTMC) is a way of monitoring, operating and controlling traffic lights through a computer. The computer uses information gathered from sensors in the road to decide whether traffic is getting heavy or congested on a particular road. When it does, the computer changes the timing of traffic lights to let the traffic move more freely, so reducing hold-ups.

CMS in association with Peek Traffic Systems, UK has executed the first Area Traffic Control (ATC) project in India consisting of 47 junctions in the National Capital Region of New-Delhi using the SCOOT System. The aim of SCOOT is to optimise the capacity of the road network by way of minimising stops and delays or any other desired objective.
