BHUBANESWAR: The Capital is going to have its first centralised Command Control Centre (CCC) to monitor, operate and control existing services of the City. The command centre will keep an eye on several functions like traffic management, incident management, city surveillance, emergency services and disaster management.
The City has Adaptive Traffic Signal Control (ATSC) solution installed at 50 junctions. The ATSC system will be integrated with the CCC along with various external modules to provide real-time decision support.

The building slated to be built along Smart Janpath street will provide a video wall double the size of temporary set-up in order to enhance the capacity of operations manifold,” said a BDA official.
Information collected from various departments and various applications will be analysed at the CCC for better planning of the City.
