Town Trace

There have been umpteen occasions where we criticise the planning and development of roads in our cities. Between traffic deadlocks and poorly maintained roads, many problems yearn for their solutions. Town Trace gives you the opportunity to present an existing real-life problem and propose a solution for the same, using Applications of Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) for creating Smart City in India.
