The Uttar Pradesh Police has initiated an AI-based pilot project called the City-Reducing Traffic Congestion scheme to tackle severe traffic issues in 20 districts. Launched under the guidance of Chief Minister Yogi Adityanath, the program aims to enhance traffic flow and reduce travel times on critical urban routes, particularly in rapidly growing areas. The scheme targets 172 congestion-prone routes across major cities, including Lucknow, Kanpur, and Varanasi. A unique 'one route, one marshal' system will assign a Route Marshal to each route, responsible for implementing traffic management strategies. The initiative also emphasizes education, enforcement, and technological interventions to ensure effective traffic regulation. An AI platform will monitor real-time traffic conditions, providing valuable data to nodal officers to help reduce travel times by 20% during peak hours. The Traffic Directorate will oversee the performance of the routes and conduct a comprehensive review after one month.
