Thane: In a step to make it free of congestion, Thane has come up with a citywide hybrid simulation model for managing vehicular traffic.


Under the system, the entire traffic network of the city will be mapped and modelled digitally. This would help agencies to plan, execute and monitor traffic more efficiently, Thane Municipal Corporation said in an official release in Thane on Wednesday.


It is also a major step to make Thane congestion free and a city with smart traffic network, it said. The model has been jointly developed by Medulla Soft Technologies Pvt Ltd India (MST) and Transport Simulation Systems Spain (TSS).


MST-TSS CEO Shantanu Sharma today submitted the final report of the model to Thane Municipal Commissioner Sanjeev Jaiswal and Mayor Sanjay More. "The base model for the city is now ready along with various interventions and future scenarios analysed, but it will be used continuously in future for upcoming projects that will affect traffic network of the city," Sharma said.

In addition to this, a pedestrian simulation model will also be developed for safer and more efficient pedestrian mobility, the TMC said. On the occasion, Jaiswal said this will help in realising the dream of a walkable Thane and smart mobility in the city.

The Mayor said that such exercises will help Thane to be recognised as a world class city.
