Smart City Push: ICCC Goes Live in Tirupati With Data-Driven Monitoring Systems
The system integrates an adaptive traffic control system with red light violation detection at 20 junctions and automatic number plate recognition at six locations to aid enforcement and identify vehicles.
Tirupati: An Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC) was inaugurated in Tirupati on Friday under the Smart City project, integrating multiple urban services onto a single technology platform.
The ICCC, developed as a pan-city ICT solution, will enable 24×7 surveillance, traffic management, emergency response and monitoring of municipal services. The project is being implemented by NEC Corporation India Pvt Ltd in consortium with KELTRON at a revised cost of Rs 120 crore.
Officials said around 400 CCTV cameras are being installed at 135 locations across the city, including those under the police and municipal corporation, along with coverage on the zoo park–Alipiri stretch. Pan-tilt-zoom cameras have also been deployed for continuous monitoring.

A geographic information system platform has been incorporated for city-level data mapping, while environmental sensors will monitor temperature, humidity, air quality and pressure. The system will also support e-challan generation, sanitation monitoring and detection of garbage dumping.
Inaugurating the facility, MLA Arani Srinivasulu said the centre would enable real-time monitoring and quicker response to incidents across the city.
District collector Dr S. Venkateswar said about 80 per cent of the works have been completed and the system is expected to be fully operational within two months, enabling integrated monitoring of traffic, sanitation and emergency services.
Superintendent of police L. Subba Rayudu said the ICCC would aid traffic regulation and crime control, while municipal commissioner N. Mourya said it would help enforce penalties for violations, including waste dumping.
