A significant advantage of this technological advancement is the capability to capture real-time visuals and transmit them directly to the traffic control room. Operating at an impressive altitude of 500 meters, the drones cover a distance of 10 km, providing comprehensive coverage of vital intersections.
Stationed at a single junction, drone operators can monitor and relay information simultaneously from up to four different junctions to the control room. This live transmission of traffic data allows for swift decision-making, empowering control room personnel to adjust traffic signals based on current ground conditions.
