Question

Write in detail about the achievements by pooling resources.

Answer 1

1. Traffic Management: Vehicle traffic is a major problem in metro cities. Traffic management can improve the flow of traffic on the roads, reducing emissions per vehicle kilometer travelled and enhancing urban mobility. The traffic can be monitored with the help of the proposed system. Congestion can be reduced through traffic planning and management. The problem of road traffic is increasing in metropolitan cities as the number of vehicles is increasing day by day. The increase in traffic along with inadequate infrastructure facilities is responsible for higher emissions of pollutants. To manage traffic in cities, the regulatory agencies have to implement radical solutions within a short time frame for long-term gains, such as:
   1. Mass Rapid Transport System.
   2. Construction of express highways.
   3. Roads should be maintained. 
   4. Traffic bottlenecks should be eased through traffic management.
2. Green Zone: Green Zone is a flexible, automatically enforced low emission zone solution that uses the best technology to interrogate vehicle databases and monitor and control the passage of highly polluting vehicles through designated geographic areas. The system uses automatic number plate recognition (ANPR) cameras at locations across the city to capture details of number plates, and identify those vehicles which do not meet the emission standards of the Low Emission Zone.
   In order to maximise improvements in air quality and health benefits, the Low Emission Zone covers most of Greater London and operates 24 hours a day, every day of the year.
   The benefits of Green Zone are:
   1. Helps in air quality improvements.
   2. No big IT infrastructure is required.
   3. Cost-effective
   4. Very low incidence of offender evasion
