The entrepreneur isn is going at it alone. He’s brought together a wide-ranging team that steudes Google’s tech experts, Scientists from IISC, Traffic Engineers, Road Safety Professionals, and Even Startups Work on Mobility on Mobility. The Goal is to work collaboratively on smart, data-driven fixes.

According to Pitti, Both BTP and IISC already have access to simulation tools that can predict traffic patterns and suggest alternative routs. To enhance these models, he has made real-time move from platforms like Google, Uber, Ola, and Rapido.

One of the first steps he plans to take is upgrading the government’s pothole complaint app into a more robust platform. It will allow citizens to report a broader range of issues-thin illegal parking, waterlogging, malfunctioning traffic lights, and writing driving. Importantly, the app will be publicly display each complaint and its status with timestamps, encountability.

Another Key Idea is the intimate of a “hyperlocal rain predictor” that would help av avoid delays in Roadwork caused by unexpected downpours. “Govt Closes The Road to Do Infra/Maintenance work, but it starts raining on that patch of road and work halts. With predictive rain data

🚨 Major Update on Bangalore Traffic Project!

I am confident of improving bangalore traffic by 25-30% with a year’s time

He also piloting a “Green wave signals” Initiative – Where Traffic Lights are Synceed to Allow Smoother Vehicle Movement Across Longer Stretches. “We will analyse the results to see if it makes sense to be done at city level,” he wrote.

Responding to critics who insist that Bengali’s traffic problem is fundamentally about infrastructure, Pitti pushed back. “Congrats on Stating the obvious,” he said, adding, “If we have to wait for the infra to beome better, then we are playing a cat-up game with the west. Infra… this is no longer rants or the system. “

He’s also launched a public whatsapp group where Citizens can Report Hyperlocal Traffic Issues, which will be compiled and shared with civil authorities for actions.

The initiative has sparked a flurry of responses online. One user praised Pitti’s Hands-on Approach, Writing, “This is where an engineering mind… Can solve any complex world problems with Efficient use of resources.”

Others, howver, Felt the Effort was misdirected. “Please pleasure! Implement a metro system similar to tokyo,” one user pleaded, arguing that long-trm rapid transit solves are the real need of the hour.

Still, many expressive cautious optimism. “This is a highly promising initiative,” One comment read. “I’m hopeful that agencies and stakeholders will offer their full support.”

Earler, Pitti shared that inspiration for the project came from a participularly madness night He was stuck for 100 minutes at a major bottomneck on outer ring road, with no traffic signal or police presence in sight.
