Embracing of Technology

A smart city using digital technologies or Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) to:

Enhance quality and performance of Urban Services

Reduce cost and resource consumption

Engage more effectively and actively with its Citizens


Need for Smart Cities and Indian Urban Scenario


Need for Smart Cities - Likely Scenario of Urban India

Quality of urban services likewater supply, sewage, solidwaste, transportation,affordable housing etc. is undertremendous pressure.

Basic service demand isincreasing and the gap betweensupply-demand will be huge infuture.

It urges us to find smartsolutions to make our Cities Fullof “Life-Happiness-Prosperity”embraced by Technology


Smart Cities Mission in India

Countrywide Mission to Promote Cities that Provide:

Core Infrastructure,

Give a decent quality of life to citizens, and

Apply smart solutions to improve servicesand infrastructure

“ Cities In The Past Were Build On

Riverbanks, They Are Now Build Along

Highways. But In The Future, They Will Be

Build Based On Availability Of Optical

Fiber Networks And Next-Generation Infrastructure ”

Shri Narendra ModiHon’ble Prime Minister

"100 Smart Cities Mission" was launched by Hon’ble Prime Minister, Narendra Modi

on 25 June 2015


100 Smart Cities - Mission to Transform the Nation

To ensure that cities function as -

“engines of economic growth”,

Total investment of about 28.70 Billion

USD – over 20 years:

23 Billion USD for Area Based Development

5.7 Billion USD for Pan-City Solution

Benefiting 99.63 Million People across 100

Prayagraj Smart City

Prayagraj city was selected among 100 cities to be developed as smartcity in India owing to its historic importance and Kumbh Mela 2019.North India’s first Integrated Smart City under Smart Cities Missioncomprises of:

• Surveillance System CCTV - 743 Fixed Box Cameras, 292 PTZ Cameras• Automatic Number Plate Recognition System (ANPR) – 30 Cameras at 7

city entry-exit points• Adaptive Traffic Control System (ATCS) – 18 Junctions equipped with

adaptively driven signaling system• Variable Message Display (VMD) – 40 signage's for delivering regular

awareness messages along with transmitting emergency informativemessages.

• Command Control Centres (CCC) – Two state-of-the-art Command andControl Centers, one at the Kumbh specific area and another for theoverall city surveillance serve as centralized monitoring decision

• 24*7 Contact Centre 1920 – Dedicated helpline with round the clockoperations address queries of pilgrims and locals and triggers instantresponses for city administrators if any emergency situation arises.

• Solid Waste Management (SWM) – Centralised Monitoring of 500 Bulkgenerators and 48 dumping stations

• On premise Tier-III Data Centre (DC) and Disaster Recovery (DR)

Benefits of Prayagraj Smart City Solutions

License plate recognitions at strategic locations to capture the number plates to nab the Suspected Vehicle

AI tech used in Crowd analytics to Interpret the Crowd Density and manage the Crowd• Density of crowd, thresholds to interpret the crowd density in real time as well as in advance which led to

effective crowd control mechanisms.

With 1000+ cameras, real time monitoring and response mechanisms in case of mishaps have resulted in faster and efficient issue resolutions

40 VMD’s implemented at 40 strategic locations to transmit emergency messages to guide & manage the crowd flow through different routes as well as different railway stations as per the vacancy

Solid waste management enabled Channelization of waste across the 500 bulk generators and 48 open dumping stations

What is Kumbh Mela?


Kumbh Mela

Kumbh Mela, in Hinduism, is a religious pilgrimage that is celebrated four times over a course of 12 years. The geographical location of Kumbh Mela spans over four locations in India and the Mela site keeps rotating between one of the four pilgrimages on four sacred rivers as listed below:

➢Haridwar on the Ganges in Uttarakhand

➢Ujjain on the Shipra in Madhya Pradesh

➢Nashik on the Godavari in Maharashtra

➢Prayagraj at the confluence of the Ganges, the Yamuna, and the mythical Sarasvati in Uttar Pradesh

Kumbh Mela

The Kumbh Mela (the festival of the sacred pitcher) is anchored in Hindu mythology. It is the largest public gathering and collective act of faith, anywhere in the world.

The Mela draws tens of millions of pilgrims over the course of approximately 48 days to bathe at the sacred confluence of the Ganga, the Yamuna, and the mystical Sarasvati. Primarily, this congregation includes

Ascetics, Saints, Sadhus, Sadhvis, Kalpvasis, and Pilgrims from all walks of life.

Inscribed in 2017 (12.COM) on the Representative List of the Intangible Cultural Heritage of Humanity


Kumbh Mela

Each site’s celebration is based on a distinct set of astrological positions of the Sun, the Moon, and the Jupiter. The celebrations occur at the exact moment when these positions are fully occupied, as it is considered to be the holiest time in Hinduism.

The Kumbh Mela is an event that intrinsically encapsulates the science of astronomy, astrology, spirituality, ritualistic traditions, and socio-cultural customs and practices, making it extremely rich in knowledge.

How technology helped in Kumbh 2019

For the first time that Artificial Intelligence (AI) has been used in Kumbh Mela. Over 1,000 CCTV cameras have been used to monitor various movements across the Mela area spread across 3,200 hectares

A team of 10 information technology (IT) experts reviewed densely populated areas & found that the density of devotees and pilgrims was highest at Sangam noze — 3.19 persons per square meter

Based on previous datasets of Disaster management department, thresholds were defined i.e.

Standard Operating Procedure with escalation matrices were defined, rerouting plans assignedwith each kinds of severity levels were initiated in case of any alert generations.

Different Traffic plan has been implemented the moment density changes from one phase to another phase

Crowd Density (CD)

Severity Level

CD<1.5 Normal

1.5<CD<3 Moderate

3<CD<4.5 Critical

Traffic management at Kumbh is also planned to ensure coordination of traffic movement on multiple channels which are integrated with google maps

Crowd Count and Density Measurement

Approach

Test Case 1 – Failure

• Publicly available data sets were used to train crowd counting models which failed to estimate high dense crowd

• Bounding Boxes annotation were adopted - Failed to accurately count people far away from the camera

Test Case 2 – Success

• State of the art AI methodologies were tested for Kumbh type data sets • 1500 Images collected - 700 Preferable Images

were selected and annotation were performed• Average headcount 600+ in one image - Total

400K heads annotated• Trained for 10,000 iterations or samplings to

achieve highest accuracy

24

Challenges

Challenge – Delay in ROW permission in River bank area to setup temporary Kumbh cameras

Precast installations & deployment of large resources 24x7.

Challenge – Continuous maintenance of edge devices to keep services live during the event

10 dedicated team of N/W & power technicians were deployed round the clock

Challenge – Absence of proven solution for high dense crowd mgmt.

Partnered with leading research institute to custom develop crowd model

Challenge – Unavailability High dense crowd public data set

Sourced data sets from yearly events at Prayagraj which witness high density crowd gatherings

Challenge – 10K iterations of Model training was time & resource intensive

High-end GPUs were deployed to carry out training at war footing

Challenge – Short timeline to annotate huge sets of data

Local resources were hired to expedite & meet stringent timelines

25

Learnings

High resolution 4K camera provide highest accuracy for density monitoring

Frame rate <25 should be adopted for better accuracy on inflow measurement (line counts) from transit points

Congested Scene Recognition called CSRNet offers highest accuracy for high dense crowds

Larger crowd can be identified and counted efficiently & accurately with Dot Annotations

For highly accurate crowd count – adopt 90 –deg. top view in cameras zoomed mounted at high masts.
