Project Statement: With urbanization, society faces a rapid accelerating demand for mobility, placing immense pressure on existing urban road networks. This demand manifests in the form of severe traffic congestion, which decreases the road's level of service, while at the same time increases both fuel consumption and air pollution. Traffic congestion on Delhi roads costs around $10 billion or about Rs 65,000 crore annually. This is on account of fuel waste due to idling of vehicles, productivity loss, air pollution and road crashes, according to a study done by IIT, Madras. As the vehicular population rapidly grows in the capital, the study projects the congestion cost would increase to the tune of around Rs 98,000 crore
