Abstract - Rapid urbanization and increased vehicle ownership result in traffic congestion and safety challenges in medium-
sized cities such as Dhule, Maharashtra. This research proposal presents the Development of Strategic Framework for Integrated Smart Traffic Management for Dhule City by integrating ITS into effective construction and project management practices. The key elements in this framework relate to traffic control adaptively, real-time monitoring, and phased implementation of infrastructure, ensuring that congestion due to construction is kept as low as possible. Case study related to Nagpur Smart City were reviewed to understand best practices in the planning, scheduling, and coordination among multiple agencies. The presented framework puts special emphasis on sustainable construction, safety, cost optimization, and long-term maintainability. This study concludes that with a blend of smart technology along with construction management principles, more efficiency, more safety, and more sustainability in the urban traffic system can be achieved in developing cities like Dhule.
Key Words: Smart traffic management, strategic framework, Dhule city, Urban mobility, Construction Management sustainable transport planning.
1.INTRODUCTION Rapid urbanization and growing vehicular traffic have resulted in serious congestion, safety issues, and pollution in mediumsized cities like Dhule in Maharashtra. In this respect, the idea of Smart Traffic Management Systems is assuming importance as an effective way out to optimize traffic flow and improve road safety through real-time monitoring and data-driven control. However, for such systems to be successfully implemented, the responsibility lies not only with technology, but also with proper construction and project management practices. There is a need for proper planning, scheduling, cost control, and coordination among agencies to ensure safe and timely execution of infrastructure components comprising the traffic poles, cabling, and surveillance system. Based on the successful models in Nagpur and Pune, this study is focused on the development of a strategic framework for an integrated smart traffic management system for Dhule City. It would work towards integrating intelligent transportation technology with construction management principles for the purpose of developing a sustainable, efficient, and well-coordinated urban traffic system.
2. PROBLEM STATEMENT Dhule city is experiencing significant urban development and population growth leading to complex and deteriorating traffic management infrastructure and conventional methods are currently insufficient to handle. Existing traffic management system is uncoordinated and struggles with congestion insufficient signal control inadequate lane marking on road etc. currently there is no structured framework in place to manage traffic efficiently while addressing long term sustainability and future urban needs.
