The advanced AI system includes real-time congestion detection and vehicle counting, integrated with a network of drones and CCTV cameras. This seamless integration aims to enhance traffic management and public safety. The Traffic Command and Control Room will provide live updates to devotees, ensuring smooth navigation.
