Summary:

By Express News ServiceHYDERABAD: Traffic congestion on Cyberabad roads will now be solved with the help of Google Maps. After the successful trial run with Google Maps’ real-time data which helped monitor the signals at the Gachibowli junction, the Cyberabad traffic police and Society for Cyberabad Security Council (SCSC) along with Google will replicate it across the zone. As part of the initiative, the data will be taken from Google maps and used to decide the signal timings in real-time at critical junctions. With this, if the traffic from Lingampally to Gachibowli is less at IIIT junction, then the ‘green’ time offered to it will be reduced based on real-time inputs from Google map. The Cyberabad traffic police, with this collaboration expects to scientifically fix traffic jams, and give data backed evidence to departments like GHMC, HRDCL, and R&B about the road engineering issues in areas..
