The GHMC has installed advanced pelican crossings to prevent traffic accidents and save the lives of pedestrians who can now cross Hyderabad’s busy roads with ease. According to GHMC officials, pressing a button activates a red light for vehicles that are parked for 15 seconds, making it easier for pedestrians to walk by.
68 of the 94 proposed signs have already been installed in response to Hyderabad traffic police recommendations, according to officials.
“By installing pelican signals at schools and colleges, GHMC is working to prevent accidents and provide safe crossing for the public,” the officials added. The GHMC has installed advanced pelican crossings to prevent traffic accidents and save the lives of pedestrians who can now cross Hyderabad’s busy roads with ease.
With the new ATSC and PSS, the city will soon have improved travel time reliability, less halt time at junctions, reduced city-wide congestion, fewer stops, fewer emissions, and improved road safety. The GHMC will install a total of 122 ATSC signals and 94 pelican signals as part of this new project. The Hyderabad Traffic Integrated Management System has also taken on the operation and maintenance of the 213 signals (HTRIMS).

The Traffic Police department has already identified locations and has recommended to GHMC officials that traffic signals be installed at those locations. The new system, according to GHMC officials, will use camera-based detectors. The system will constantly monitor the movement of approaching vehicles and generate new timing sequences to match them.
C-DAC (Centre for Development of Advanced Computing) created the cutting-edge adaptive control algorithm for Indian cities and their heterogeneous, non-lane-based traffic. The Composite Signal Control Strategy (CoSiCoSt) algorithm adjusts the cycle time, green splits, and offsets to support real-time coordination with nearby intersections to manage area-wide traffic. All project signals have central connectivity, which will support both timing changes and maintenance alerts, according to the officials.
