Former Infosys CFO Mohandas Pai has advocated for the development of a "digital twin" of Bengaluru to ease the city's chronic traffic congestion. Pai, speaking at the Move In Sync Mobility Symposium 2024, underlined the need of collecting data on traffic patterns around the city, scrutinizing every hour, day, and year over the previous five years, according to The New Indian Express. He proposed that this data may be used to detect congestion areas, allowing for targeted measures to enhance traffic flow.

Pai noted in the magazine that by analyzing where and why traffic congestion occur, we can deploy crews to address those precise places. He proposed that urban expert R. K. Misra lead a team of top IT specialists to handle the city's traffic issues, similar to how Nandan Nilekani collected experts to produce Aadhaar.

Pai also advocated utilizing traffic data to model potential scenarios over the next five years, taking into account projects like as the Metro and extra public buses, according to the paper. This simulation would aid in predicting where future traffic congestion would arise and guiding government agencies such as the BMRCL and BMTC in developing better infrastructure.

At the occasion, Move In Sync introduced the Traffic Quality Index (TQI), a tool that helps residents plan their journeys by assessing traffic severity between any two places in the city.

The symposium also featured the #BLRFootpath Challenge, which examined 100 kilometers of municipal pathways. Nearly 28 kilometers of vital highways, including the notorious Outer Ring Road (ORR), were scored low, and event organizers urged firms to step in and help repair these regions through their CSR activities.
