SMART city is an emerging and fast growing infrastructure sector initiative by Government of India in collaboration with Urban Local Bodies (ULBs). Primary goal of SMART city mission is to improve livability index of citizens in terms of ensuring HSE (Health, Safety and Environment) standards, balanced supply and demand of utilities, public security, digital connectivity, information exchange, seamless and safe transportation, ease of governance, etc. through a combination of various sensors, IOT devices, data transmission media and analytics.
\nIn any city or town, the road junction is a location where two or more roads join together in terms of commutation connectivity. According to Ministry of Road Transport & Highways, Government of India (GoI) press release, approximately 35 to 40% of total accidents take place at traffic junctions. GoI targets to reduce the loss of lives and assets in road accidents through adopting new technology apart from creating road safety awareness, education and law enforcement.<\/p>\n

Major road safety concerns and security lapses at junctions are as follows:<\/p>\n

    \n
  1. Over-speeding vehicles<\/li>\n
  2. Signal\/ white line violation<\/li>\n
  3. Signals non-functioning<\/li>\n
  4. Wrong direction\/ side or counter-flow driving<\/li>\n
  5. Free left violation<\/li>\n
  6. Absence of speed retarding devices\/ mechanism<\/li>\n
  7. Absence of zebra crossings<\/li>\n
  8. Absence of foot-over bridge\/ underpass<\/li>\n
  9. Absence of on-duty traffic police personnel<\/li>\n
  10. Haphazard parking<\/li>\n
  11. Lane cutting without proper signalling<\/li>\n
  12. Road blocks during agitations or by miscreants<\/li>\n
  13. Illegal hoardings blocking drivers\u2019 vision<\/li>\n
  14. Bringing down of overhead electrical cables due to extra heighted trailers<\/li>\n
  15. Illegal processions with large uncontrolled crowds<\/li>\n
  16. Highly polluted areas due to repeated traffic congestions<\/li>\n<\/ol>\n

    Considering aforesaid threats, the major road junctions can be equipped with a SMART\u00a0POLE that caters mounting of various sensors, devices, transceivers, equipment vertically at\u00a0single place. SMART means Sensing, Monitoring, Analysing and Remote Transmission with\u00a0wired or wireless connectivity to City Control and Command Centre (C4). This smart poles can minimise the above mentioned threats to a great extent.<\/p>\n

    Smart pole design can be a customised according to the need of sensing, monitoring required at the particular junction. Smart pole may be comprised of following sensors, devices, equipment and their functions with resultant factors:<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n
