The need for a short-term traffic management plan for VIP vehicular movement in capital cities arises from the unique challenges of ensuring efficient mobility and security for VIPs. Capital cities worldwide serve as focal points for political, economic, and cultural activities, necessitating effective traffic management strategies to maintain operational continuity and public safety amidst VIP vehicular movements. VIP vehicular movements often disrupt regular traffic flow due to security protocols and the need for fast, uninterrupted commutes. This disruption affects daily commuters traveling along these routes. Consequently, there is a critical need to devise short-term traffic management plans that balance VIP security imperatives with minimizing disruptions to daily commuters and ensuring road safety, thereby maximizing the use of existing road facilities and expanding current road capacities.

Effective traffic management plans for VIP movements typically involve temporary road closures, designated VIP routes with heightened security measures, and coordinated communication strategies to inform the public about alternate routes and potential delays. Additionally, implementing technology- driven solutions can also optimize traffic flow and mitigate congestion during VIP movements. This optimization is crucial for maintaining order, safety, and accessibility in urban areas.

Therefore, there is a crucial need to develop a short-term traffic management plan for Vijayawada, specifically linking Gannavaram Airport with Amravati and major administrative offices in the city. Currently, these areas have good connectivity via primary roads but experience heavy traffic, resulting in significant delays for VIP vehicles and disrupting daily commuter traffic. Developing an operational plan during VIP movements will ensure that both daily commuters and VIP vehicles benefit from smoother traffic flow and improved transportation efficiency in the city.
