Development of Strategic Framework for Integrated Smart Traffic Management in Dhule City

Rapid urbanization and increased vehicle ownership result in traffic congestion and safety challenges in medium-
sized cities such as Dhule, Maharashtra. This research proposal presents the Development of Strategic Framework for Integrated
Smart Traffic Management for Dhule City by integrating ITS into effective construction and project management practices. The key
elements in this framework relate to traffic control adaptively, real-time monitoring, and phased implementation of infrastructure,
ensuring that congestion due to construction is kept as low as possible. Case study related to Nagpur Smart City were reviewed to
understand best practices in the planning, scheduling, and coordination among multiple agencies. The presented framework puts
special emphasis on sustainable construction, safety, cost optimization, and long-term maintainability. This study concludes that
with a blend of smart technology along with construction management principles, more efficiency, more safety, and more
sustainability in the urban traffic system can be achieved in developing cities like Dhule
