Smart signals in place, NMC begins installing AI-powered speed radars, ETInfra
Advt 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 pilot installation of the speed radar system was completed on the busy Omkar Nagar Square–Manewada Square 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 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 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 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 radar and junction system is connected to the NMC's centralised traffic control room, allowing real-time monitoring, data collection, and automated violation 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 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.

Law students can now write exams in Malayalam
Thiruvananthapuram: State higher education council on Friday cleared a proposal to allow law students in Kerala to write their examinations in Malayalam. The decision was made at the council's governing body meeting, chaired by higher education minister R Bindu. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The governing body decided to operationalise Internship Kerala 1.0 portal, developed in collaboration with Keltron by Aug as part of the four-year degree programme. The decision to connect various institutions, including public sector and local self-govt institutions, to this portal was also made. It also decided to strengthen the functioning of Centre for Skill Development in universities and colleges. Bindu said higher education council was planning to organise a national seminar related to the diversity of regional knowledge and knowledge systems spread across the subcontinent. The seminar aims to shape more in-depth study activities related to the course on Kerala's knowledge systems developed by higher education council as part of the four-year degree programme. Alumni conclave Higher education department will organise a state-level alumni conclave on Aug 30. Chief minister Pinarayi Vijayan will inaugurate the event at Tagore Theatre. This conclave is expected to serve as a platform for planning the long-term direction and development strategies of the entire education sector.

No NMC nod, Keltron says smart traffic project may hit roadblock
Nagpur: The Rs197 crore Integrated Intelligent Traffic Management System (IITMS) project has run into rough weather as it awaits Nagpur Municipal Corporation (NMC) approval nearly six months after the plan was submitted. In a formal representation to CM Devendra Fadnavis during his visit to the city on Sunday, system integrator Kerala State Electronics Development Corporation Ltd (Keltron) which is implementing the project in collaboration with Nagpur police, flagged multiple procedural lapses, accusing the NMC of violating key tender conditions by not issuing the required approvals jeopardising the entire smart traffic initiative. NMC executive engineer (electrical) Rajendra Rathore confirmed that the department has not yet cleared the plan. "The approval will be granted once the pilot project report is submitted," he said. According to Keltron, IITMS project work order was issued on October 11, 2024, and it submitted a formal communication on October 18 seeking to initiate the process followed by a meeting on November 14. After initial surveys and groundwork, Keltron submitted the inception report and the complete project plan to NMC on January 1, 2025. As per the tender terms, NMC was expected to approve the project plan within 1.5 months of signing the contract. However, Keltron pointed out that instead of granting formal approval, NMC only issued a provisional go-ahead for implementation at select pilot junctions on March 27. "Despite the absence of a formal project plan approval, we were instructed to execute a pilot phase which was never part of the original contract," Keltron stated. It proceeded with pilot works from March 30, deploying manpower, machinery, and resources at its own risk. Due to a lack of official approval, Keltron stated it was unable to raise invoices for 5% of the agreed capital expenditure, resulting in financial stress. "Product vendors are now pressuring us to accept deliveries. But without project approval, we are stuck. The situation is becoming untenable," Keltron mentioned in its letter to the CM. Keltron has urged the state govt to intervene and direct NMC to expedite pending approvals, warning that any further delay could stall the project completely. The IITMS project is expected to modernise Nagpur's traffic systems through adaptive traffic signals, high-definition surveillance, and centralised command control. However, without NMC's clearance, Keltron says the city's vision for a smart, efficient traffic network hangs in the balance.
