An Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC), designed as a critical component of the Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS), is nearing completion near Breach Candy. This facility will centralise traffic monitoring, air quality assessment, and emergency response for the coastal road. Equipped with state-of-the-art technologies like CCTV, sensors, and SCADA systems, the ICCC will ensure seamless operations, even during power outages. The building’s strategic location close to the tunnel guarantees optimal technical efficiency. Once operational, it will serve as a backup disaster control hub, enhancing safety and functionality for commuters.
The Integrated Command and Control Centre (ICCC) behind Tata Garden in Breach Candy is approaching completion and is set to act as the central hub for monitoring and managing the coastal road. A pivotal part of the Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS), the centre will leverage information and communication technologies to oversee traffic flow and ensure smooth operations.

This facility will collect data from various sources, including CCTV cameras, traffic sensors, and weather stations, to offer a real-time overview of traffic and environmental conditions. It will also monitor air quality and manage the ventilation system in tunnels while serving as a backup during power disruptions.
The ground-plus-one structure has been strategically positioned for maximum technical efficiency and will enable continuous coastal road monitoring. The building is designed to handle crucial tasks such as monitoring tunnel ventilation, responding to emergencies, and coordinating with the fire department, traffic police, and disaster control rooms via CCTV surveillance.
Currently, air quality monitoring is being done manually from a temporary building at Priyadarshini Park. However, once operational, the ICCC will centralise these activities. A civic official highlighted that ventilation adjustments would be made as needed, ensuring the maintenance of air quality within the tunnels. Additionally, the structure will provide battery backup for up to one hour in the event of a power failure, after which operations will shift to generator power. This building is expected to fulfil 60% of the tunnel’s requirements.
The facility includes advanced systems such as SCADA for real-time monitoring and control. While street lights on the coastal road will continue to be manually operated, ventilation systems can function both manually and automatically. The two basements of the structure will house critical equipment, including a transformer room, diesel generator, and water storage tanks.
Inside the ICCC, there will be a video wall for live monitoring of the tunnel and coastal road. The building will also feature an emergency room, a server room, and amenities like a pantry and dining space for 30 staff members. The glass-clad structure’s design ensures functionality and aesthetics.
The Breach Candy Residents’ Forum (BCRF) recently inspected the site, expressing interest in understanding its impact on the neighbourhood. A civic official confirmed that the building’s location was chosen based on technical feasibility, ensuring proximity to the tunnel for effective disaster response. Similar control centres are already operational for the Bandra-Worli Sea Link and the Mumbai Trans Harbour Link (MTHL).
The ICCC building’s civil structure is complete, with installations set to finish soon. The facility is expected to become fully operational by mid-year.
The Integrated Command and Control Centre promises to revolutionise the management of Mumbai’s coastal road by centralising traffic monitoring, emergency response, and environmental assessments. As the building nears operational status, it symbolises a significant step towards a more efficient and safer urban infrastructure for Mumbai’s coastal commuters.
