Bangkok (VNA) – The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has deployed the Adapt🔯ive Traffic Control System (ATCS) at 72 intersections along several major roads, as part of a pilot scheme, 🍨to optimise traffic flow.
Bangkok Governor Chadchart Sittipunt told media that traffic police or a timer system currently operate traffic control systems at some 500 intersections in the capital city.
When drivers see a traffic light countdown timer at an intersection, it means a timer system is in use and traffic signals do not adjust based on real traffic conditions.
Meanwhile, the ATCS uses cameras to provide real-time traffic data and computers to dynamically change traffic signal timings based on traffic demand to optimise traffic flow.
The ATCS has helped traffic flow by 15% during non-rush hours, but traffic police may be required to operate the traffic control system in case of heavy traffic congestion.
Chadchart said that the system has been deployed at 72 intersections along major roads like Sukhumvit Road, Phetchaburi Road, Rama IV Road, Phahon Yothin Road and Silom Road.
The BMA plans to install the ATCS at another 200 intersections next year./.
