    But have you ever wondered how traffic could be managed more efficiently in busy cities? This is
                     where smart transportation comes in. Smart transportation uses advanced technologies to help
                     improve traffic flow, reduce congestion and make roads safer.

                     By collecting real-time data from sensors, cameras and GPS systems, smart transportation systems
                     can make better decisions and respond quickly to changing traffic conditions. For example, traffic
                     lights can be adjusted automatically to reduce waiting times at busy intersections, while vehicles
                     can be guided along the fastest routes using GPS and real-time traffic updates.

                     How AI Helps

                     Artificial  Intelligence  plays  an important  role in improving  modern  transportation  systems.  It
                     analyses traffic patterns using information from cameras, sensors and GPS technology to support
                     better traffic control and management. This information helps in several ways:

                       AI-based traffic signal systems can replace traditional time-based traffic signals. In cities like
                        Delhi and Bengaluru, AI has already been implemented to adjust traffic signal timings based
                        on real-time traffic conditions, helping to reduce congestion and improve traffic flow.

                       AI-powered cameras are now installed in many cities to automatically detect traffic violations
                        such  as  speeding  or not  wearing  a  helmet.  These  systems  can  issue  fines  automatically,
                        improving road safety and reducing human error.
                       Navigation apps now use AI to analyse traffic data in real time and suggest alternative routes
                        that help drivers avoid traffic jams, saving time and reducing congestion on busy roads.

                     By using AI, cities can make traffic management more responsive, reduce delays and improve
                     safety for everyone.

                     AI in Agriculture

                     In India,  agriculture  relies  heavily  on hard work and  is  closely  tied  to  weather  conditions.
                     Traditionally, farmers have used manual observation and their experience to decide when to
                     water crops, apply fertiliser and manage pests.
