Regarding their integrated traffic management system, the IIT Kanpur director asked that the individual crossings need to be reviewed to solve the issues and problems. He further asked to check automatic signal timings in major crossings. He said that these need to be sensor-based and capable of changing the traffic lights timings according to the density assessment in an area. This report should be prepared in the upcoming 15 days.

IIT Kanpur has assured to study the environmental monitoring sensor (EMS) system thoroughly and develop a mechanism for capturing real-time and reliable data.
