The Bengaluru Traffic Police has been honoured with a central government award for its AI‑driven traffic management system, marking a milestone in smart city initiatives.
Bengaluru Traffic Police was presented with a national award by the central government in recognition of its artificial‑intelligence based traffic management system. The accolade highlights the department's efforts to modernise urban mobility through technology.
