•Visakhapatnam introduces "Project Saarathi" to transform into an international-level smart city with AI-based traffic management.
•The project, Systematic Augmented Radial Traffic and Hoop Induction (Saarathi), will computerize traffic at major junctions, eliminating human intervention.
•AI Adaptive Traffic Control System (ATCS) at 101 junctions will dynamically adjust signals based on real-time vehicle congestion.
•Integrated Traffic Management System (ITMS) at 90 junctions will detect violations, automatically generating challans via ANPR and RLVD cameras.
•The system will also enable green corridors for VIPs and emergency vehicles, connecting to the City Operations Center (COC).
