According to Punekar News, the Pimpri Chinchwad Municipal Corporation (PCMC) will install an Artificial Intelligence-based Adaptive Traffic Control System (ATCS) at two busy intersections in Moshi. This pilot project aims to reduce traffic congestion. The system will be installed at Moshi Gavthan and Bharatratna Chowk on the Pune-Nashik Highway. This system will automatically adjust signal timings according to real-time traffic demand.

This pilot project will commence on October 16, 2026, for a duration of seven days. If successful, the project will be extended to other intersections in the city. Punekar News stated that existing CCTV cameras will be utilized for this system. The ATCS system is already operational in Nagpur and other cities.
