The TMC links various elements of Intelligent Transportation Systems such as vehicle actuated traffic signals, surveillance cameras, enforcement cameras etc., installed at various locations in the city as a part of BTRAC 2010, enabling decision makers to identify and react to an incident in a timely manner based on real-time data. The TMC helps to reduce incident response times, lower incident rates (mainly secondary incidents), disseminate traveler information and hence reduce congestion and enhance safety.
World Peace Keepers Movement and Bangalore Political Action Committee also presented awards to the deserving city traffic police constables on this day. Karnataka Transport Minister Ramalinga Reddy and Home Minister George were also present on this occasion.

 25 cops were honoured by Bangalore Political Action Committee (BPAC) in association with The World Peacekeepers Movement. Former top cop, Kiran Bedi, said ‘Time has come to honour the good Govt servants and shame the bad ones for dereliction of their duty’. The 25 cops were selected on the basis of public opinion through emails, Facebook likes and comments and SMSs.
