Imagine intersections that think for themselves—Bihar’s smart cities of Patna, Biharsharif, Bhagalpur, and Muzaffarpur are about to experience just that with state-of-the-art Adaptive AI cameras. Modeled after successes in Gurugram, Ahmedabad, Noida, and other big leagues, these devices will monitor, manage, and penalize in real time.
Police HQ’s proposal is now with the Transport Department, paving the way for rapid tendering and deployment. It’s a bold step to modernize Bihar’s overburdened traffic networks.
The magic lies in real-time analysis: cameras detect crowd densities and auto-extend signals where needed, slashing idle times and jam durations dramatically.
But the real game-changer is automated policing. Spotting everything from helmet-less riders and belt-free drivers to phone addicts, triple passengers, wrong-laners, and red-light daredevils, they’ll fire off e-challans on the spot for 14 offenses. Projections include 25% fewer mishaps and 50% more revenue from penalties.
Focus areas in Bhagalpur include Zero Mile Chowk, Tilka Manjhi Chowk, Manali Chowk, Adampur, Kachahari Chowk, Khalifa Bagh Chowk, Station Chowk, Tatarpur Chowk, and Nathnagar Golambar—infamous for their snarl-ups.
Benefits abound: reduced emissions from idling, conserved fuel, ironclad compliance, plummeting accidents, and a turbocharged Smart Cities Mission. Bihar is gearing up for a traffic renaissance, where technology turns chaos into order and commutes into pleasure.
