IIT-Delhi today entered into an agreement with the Bihar State Bridge Corporation for use of high speed traffic models in Patna to decongest the city's main roads of heavy vehicular density.
A Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) was signed today between the Foundation for Innovation and Technology Transfer (FITT) of IIT-Delhi and the Bihar State Bridge Development Corporation (BSBDC) in this regard, sources said.
As per the MOU, BSBDC can use Swap Based Traffic Interchange (SBTI) and GSUI (Grade Separated U-turn Interchange) models developed by IIT-Delhi, which will be used here for the first time in the country, BSBDC chairman Sanjeev Hans told reporters.
Hans said the foundation is going for a patent of the models and in future if somebody wants to opt for them, it has to approach the BSBDC.
According to a survey, the traffic density on this stretch of Bailey Road, which houses important government offices and where an international museum is also coming, is presently 2000 passenger car units.
