Smart signals in place, NMC begins installing AI-powered speed radars, ETInfra
Advt
The first phase of the ₹197 crore Integrated Intelligent Traffic Management System (IITMS) project underway, the Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC), through implementing agency Keltron, has now begun deploying AI-powered speed radar systems on the city's major roads. This comes after Keltron completed integration of IITMS at 10 of the 171 identified traffic junctions in the city.The pilot installation of the speed radar system was completed on the busy Omkar Nagar Square–Manewada Square stretch.Equipped with radar sensors, ANPR (automatic number plate recognition) cameras, and high-intensity strobe flash units, the system is capable of detecting over speeding vehicles in real-time, capturing licence plates, and instantly transmitting data to the city's traffic control command centre "The radar system was successfully calibrated and integrated. Once a vehicle exceeds the speed limit, the system triggers the camera to capture high-resolution images of the number plate, even at night," said a senior Keltron official.The AI-powered enforcement system is a major upgrade under the IITMS project, which aims to modernise traffic management , improve road safety, and bring down accident rates in the city.The radar unit on the Omkar Nagar–Manewada stretch is the first of many planned across 32 major roads, where traffic volume and speeding are key concerns. At some junctions or routes, multiple radar units will be installed to cover both sides of the carriageway.In parallel, Keltron has also initiated the conversion of 50 traffic intersections under IITMS. This includes the installation of smart traffic signals , vehicle actuated systems, surveillance cameras, and real-time traffic data integration at each junction. These upgrades are part of the wider plan to cover all 171 junctions with intelligent systems.Each radar and junction system is connected to the NMC's centralised traffic control room, allowing real-time monitoring, data collection, and automated violation alerts.Senior civic officials, including the municipal commissioner, are likely to inspect the radar installation site soon. Keltron's technical teams are continuously monitoring the functioning of systems on the ground.The IITMS project is a critical part of Nagpur's Smart City initiative and is expected to transform how traffic is monitored, enforced, and managed in the city.

Closing the leadership gap: Kuruva Venkataramana Murthy's AI-driven leadership reimagines dharma in the age of algorithms
As artificial intelligence accelerates decision-making across industries, human leadership faces a growing credibility crisis — one defined by ethical drift, emotional detachment, and reactive governance. In his groundbreaking new book, releasing on August 2, 2025, AI-Driven Leadership: Adapt. Amplify. Accelerate., TEDx speaker and UN-recognised coach Kuruva Venkataramana Murthy offers a powerful response rooted in India's ancient wisdom. Murthy proposes a Dharmic lens for the digital age, replacing the obsession with speed and scale with conscious precision. His AAA Model reframes leadership as a journey to: Adapt with Awareness Amplify with Ethics Accelerate with Alignment Far from nostalgia, this fusion of Dharma and tech-readiness delivers a strategic framework for today's founders, CXOs, and change agents navigating AI bias, data-driven decision fatigue, and system misalignment. The book draws from Panchsheel-inspired principles and real-world case studies — from AI in hiring gone wrong to the human cost of poorly scaled tech solutions. Murthy challenges readers to lead not just intelligently, but soulfully. Founder of the One in the Universe movement, Murthy's work is more than a book; it's a blueprint for rehumanising leadership in an age of algorithms.
