Preeja Prasad ByExpress News ServiceBENGALURU: The city will soon be looking at bringing back automated traffic signals, a project which has been on hold since 2016, when a pilot test was conducted. Now, city traffic police are planning real-time monitoring of traffic flow at junctions, and are syncing traffic lights accordingly. “We are looking at bringing in these adaptive signals, which can calculate traffic density. Eventually, the department had decided to increase the number of signals to 353 Vehicle Actuated Adoptive Signals (VAAS). The project was initiated by former Traffic Commissioner R Hithendra, but had been under the rug until P Harishekaran brought it up in February this year during a press conference..
