Impacts of these system were also detailed during the presentation. Surveillance system has significantly contributed to the resolution of approximately 334 criminal cases. The use of ICCC has also resulted in a remarkable, 75% reduction in the number of missing Persons of Interest (POI) through improved monitoring of door-to-door garbage collection vehicles. By analyzing data from the CTU bus pass usage, the system has successfully identified two new Public Bicycle Sharing (PBS) stations. Additionally, the ICCC has facilitated effective service-level monitoring for the PBS project. The implementation of the ICCC has led to a decline in horticulture complaints as continuous reporting through the system has streamlined the process. Furthermore, the ICCC has played a role in enabling pension benefits for 11 differently-abled students. It has also optimized the load capacity of Solid Waste Management (SWM) door-to-door vehicles, resulting in more efficient operations. Lastly, the ICCC has accomplished the task of GIS mapping all pensioners, numbering over 24,000, as part of the vulnerable population mapping initiative.

He elaborated that the city has witnessed a significant 40% decrease in traffic violations, leading to improved road safety. Additionally, there has been a reduction of around 20% in the deployment of traffic police personnel due to the efficient functioning of the system. Moreover, the implementation of this system has resulted in a substantial decrease of 60 tons of greenhouse gas emissions, contributing to a cleaner and more sustainable environment. From a financial perspective, the city has witnessed savings of approximately INR 25 Lacs per month per junction where the Adaptive Traffic Control System is operational, as it effectively optimizes fuel consumption.
