Verbatim: 'Video walls for real-time monitoring of city functions through 6,000+ surveillance cameras'; 'Adaptive Traffic Control System (ATCS) monitor real time traffic conditions and use artificial intelligence as well as machine learning technology to improve signal timing'; 'Integrated System with over 30,000 sensors, surveillance devices, on-premise data centre and data analytic tools'. Note the 6,000+ here versus 'more than 7000' on the ABD page and a homepage counter reading 7,200 — the discrepancy is the operator's, not the atlas's.

Open the recorded source note

Dates the centre: the awards list records '2018 Control Room of the year - SECONA sheild award', '2018 Safe City project of the year - SECONA sheild award' and '2019 Safe City award (Safe And Secure Ahmedabad) – Smart City Mission', so the centre was operating in 2018. The homepage counters give 7,200 cameras across 1,000+ locations, 24,000 smart street lights, 50 environmental sensors, 126 variable messaging displays, 179 Wi-Fi locations and 30 smart toilets. NOTE: news reports date the Paldi inauguration to 23 February 2018 and put the cost at ₹239 crore, but those pages (Businessworld, DeshGujarat) returned 403 to us and the figures are therefore NOT used in this entry.
