There have been umpteen occasions where we criticise the planning and development of roads in our cities. Many problems yearn for their solutions between traffic deadlocks and poorly maintained roads. 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.

Event Details:

• Abstract Submission Deadline: 15th March 2022
• Event Date: 19th March 2022
• Mode - Online

The problem statement is released in the Resources section of the website. Mail your abstracts to towntrace@pragyan.org.

• Each Team can consist of a maximum of 3 members.
• The abstract must contain less than 300 words.
• The judges' decision will remain final.

The event has two rounds.
Round 1:
Participants must upload their abstracts before the specified time. The upload link will be available on the Pragyan website.
Details for abstract submission:

• Description of the study city.
• Discuss the issues concerning any specific problems within the city.
• Propose a solution to solve the issues with the application of ITS.
• Discuss the feasibility of the proposed solutions.
• Discuss how the proposed applications are going to be demonstrated.
• This round is eliminative.

Round 2:

• Shortlisted Participants for the second round must present their idea to the judges during Pragyan.
• Participants should send their presentation (along with their 3D design/Videos/Poster, etc.) before Round 2. Participants who do not submit will be disqualified.
• The demonstration should be done, explaining the features and the factors they have considered for the design.
• The maximum given time for demonstration is 15 minutes and 5 minutes for interaction with the judge.
