To deal with the increasing traffic jams and pollution in the capital, Delhi Police has prepared a proposal to implement Artificial Intelligence (AI) based Integrated Traffic Management System (ITMS). The proposal has been sent to the Home Ministry for approval and once approved, it will be implemented in three phases over 24 months.
The Delhi government has shared this proposal in the report submitted to the Commission for Air Quality Management (CAQM) under the Pollution Action Plan 2026. According to officials, its aim is to reduce traffic jams, reduce travel time and strengthen action against violation of rules. The proposed ITMS will be based on advanced analytics, intelligent traffic signals and real-time decision support system. Under this, Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) technology will be linked to the challan system, which will enable identification of traffic violations and automatic issuance of challans.
