NHAI Unveils Enhanced AI-Powered ATMS for Improved Road Safety and Digital Enforcement on Indian Highways

News on Gov

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has introduced an updated policy to enhance road safety and reduce response times to incidents on the nation’s highways and expressways. This initiative leverages the latest advancements in artificial intelligence (AI) technology and focuses on digital enforcement of traffic regulations. As part of these improvements, the previous VIDS cameras are being replaced with the newly developed Video Incident Detection and Enforcement System (VIDES). VIDES is equipped to identify 14 distinct incidents, including violations such as triple riding, not wearing helmets or seatbelts, driving in the wrong lane or direction, the presence of animals on the road, and pedestrian crossings. Depending on the detected incident, VIDES will trigger responses such as notifying route patrol vehicles or ambulances, generating electronic traffic violation fines (e-challans), relaying alerts to nearby Variable Messaging Boards, or sending notifications through the ‘Rajmargyatra’ mobile app to nearby travelers. To ensure comprehensive coverage, these cameras will be installed approximately every 10 kilometers along the national highways, with advanced Command & Control Centers every 100 kilometers that integrate feeds from various cameras. The Vehicle Speed Detection System (VSDS) is now integrated into VIDES, optimizing the use of Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) cameras. Additionally, the Traffic Monitoring Camera System (TMCS) positioned every 1 kilometer on the national highways is being enhanced with capabilities such as automated accident detection and identifying stalled vehicles. NHAI is strengthening collaboration with local traffic agencies by providing dedicated workstations for traffic police representatives in the Command & Control Centers, facilitating real-time coordination and response through network sharing of camera feeds. The deployment of Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) is expected to contribute to disaster management by offering valuable input for effective planning and implementation. It will also enable the online sharing of highway status and other crucial information, benefiting both the agencies and highway users. The policy also includes provisions for developing integrated utility corridors along the national highways to establish Optic Fiber Cables (OFC) infrastructure. While the ATMS equipment will initially use OFC for communication with the Command & Control Centers, the policy also anticipates future integration of 5G-based communication tools as 5G coverage expands.

I think it’s fantastic. I really look forward to more of participating in more of the events that you put together. What is ExtraaEdge offering for the education sector? So, we at ExtraaEdge, we are a CRM Software. We cater to the inquiry-to-admission journey. The software is primarily meant for communication, marketing automation.

They have different challenges and audiences. The second is industry expertise as we work with 350 institutions globally. The third is the simplicity of the product, making the lives of counsellors and management easier.

“People do agree, some disagree, but ultimately there is good discussion, which I feel is the very objective of people coming together,” says Prof. R. Janardhan, Pro Vice Chancellor, Dayananda Sagar University, in an interview with Pratik Ghosh, Content Writer, ArdorComm Media at the ‘New Normal – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023’ #ELSABengaluru #ELSAKarnataka How are you feeling to witness this New Normal Education Leadership Summit and Awards in Bangalore?

I’ve participated in quite a few of your events, and I’m happy that education leaders from all over the country come once in a while and discuss a lot of serious topics which are very relevant to the education industry and to leadership. There’s a lot of frank exchange of points of view. People do agree, some disagree, but ultimately there is good discussion, which I feel is the very objective of people coming together. Knowledgeable people obviously do not simply agree on a certain point of view, and that’s the whole point of conventions and events that you people have been organizing. I wish good luck to whatever you intend to do in the future. Great work so far and good wishes to you in the future. In these kinds of forums where we bring in education leaders, edtech players, as well as the government, how does this kind of forum benefit the education sector at large? One benefit is that it offers networking to academic campus leaders across streams and levels. There is a lot of diversity within the campus, where you find different types of specialists. You are bringing people from various campuses with different specializations and asking them to speak on and think about burning issues within a certain domain of knowledge, which is relevant to the community for today and tomorrow. So, that’s one great contribution which you’ve been doing, and you should continue to pursue that path. Any message for ArdorComm Media Group on its second anniversary? Yeah, you all are young people, you’re vibrant, and it’s good teamwork that I see here. So, that is something that makes organizations successful.

Prof. (Dr.) Chattar Singh, Vice Chancellor, Rai Technology University, Emphasizes on Importance of Skill Development for the Present Generation of Students

“Students need hands-on experience through workshops, laboratories, and fieldwork,” says Prof. (Dr.) Chattar Singh, Vice Chancellor, Rai Technology University, in an interview with Pratik Ghosh, Content Writer, ArdorComm Media at the ‘New Normal – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023’ #ELSABengaluru #ELSAKarnataka How are you feeling to witness the New Normal Education Leadership Summit and Awards in Bangalore? It’s a great thing that ArdorComm has come to South India, and there’s a lot happening here. This time there’s a special feature where school education and higher education are combined, which is a good beginning. It allows for the exchange of ideas and sharing of similarities, including admissions and syllabus. It’s important for higher education to understand the challenges in school education and vice versa. What’s your take on skill development for this present generation of students? The government of India, through NEP 2020, has increased the focus on skill education. Industry 4.0 emphasizes practical learning from theory to practice, including digital learning, machine learning, and more. Students need hands-on experience through workshops, laboratories, and fieldwork. Collaboration between universities and industries is essential to equip students with skills to become entrepreneurs or secure good jobs. How do forums like this benefit the education sector? Such forums enhance the capabilities of the education sector by promoting collaboration between various stakeholders. Government, private institutions, and industry players should come together to focus on skilled education, improving employability and entrepreneurship. Any message for ArdorComm Media Group, which has completed 2 years of its existence? I wish ArdorComm continues its progressive approach, bringing together government, private players, and all stakeholders in education. They should align their efforts with the goals of NEP 2020.

“We’re transitioning from traditional coaching to modern technology, including MOOCs and ERP-related systems,” says Dr. Vinay S, Director, Seshadripuram Institute of Management Studies, in an interview with Pratik Ghosh, Content Writer, ArdorComm Media at the ‘New Normal – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023’ #ELSABengaluru #ELSAKarnataka How was your experience to witness this New Normal Education Leadership Summit and Awards in Bengaluru? This is the second time I am coming. ArdorComm organized it beautifully to connect institutions and leaders. We interacted to discuss the state of the education system, its link with companies, new technologies, and what we can adopt to enhance knowledge from both institutional and student perspectives. It’s a great platform for self-improvement. How are you implementing technology in your institution? Our institution, Seshadripuram Institute of Management Studies, part of an educational trust, is 93 years old. I head the Management Studies department, which is 23 years old. We’re transitioning from traditional coaching to modern technology, including MOOCs (Massive Open Online Courses) and ERP-related systems. We’re also using the Learning Management System (LMS) model. How does this kind of forum benefit the education sector at large? It’s definitely beneficial, but the challenge is in how we adopt these changes and show interest.

Abhay G. Chebbi, Pro Chancellor, Alliance University, Highlights Significance of Skill Development and Technology Integration in Education

“We must create an environment that fosters skill absorption and includes innovative assessments that cannot be manipulated,” says Abhay G. Chebbi, Pro Chancellor, Alliance University, in an interview with Pratik Ghosh, Content Writer, ArdorComm Media at the ‘New Normal – Education Leadership Summit & Awards 2023’ #ELSABengaluru #ELSAKarnataka How are you feeling to witness this New Normal Education Leadership Summit and Awards in Bengaluru? I think this is a much-called-for event, and many such events must happen in today’s day and age, especially in Bangalore. Calling it the “new normal” in Bangalore may not be entirely accurate, as Bangalore is in the lap of Silicon Valley in the East. Increasingly, technological developments are happening here, with tech and fintech firms and great educational institutions in the K12 and higher education sectors. The adoption of technology and the harmonious marriage of physical and digital is very apparent in Bangalore, making it an example for creative initiatives by schools, universities, and colleges in the educational ecosystem. So, this event is much called for, and I’m eager to listen to the other panellists. Could you highlight some initiatives that you are taking under your leadership at your university? At Alliance University we have begun this marriage between physical and digital much before and of course came the advent of covid 19, the pandemic in a way forced every stakeholder to sort of adopt into this environment more rapidly having said that use of technology is not new to our university. Just to give you an example quoting covid for example, we were recognized globally as one of the most engaging universities in collaboration with a leading online skill-based course provider. We competed with international universities and set this as a new normal. Our ecosystem, from student registration to classes and collaboration, heavily involves technology. What’s your take on skill development for students? In today’s world, skilling and upskilling are constant needs. Skills come in various forms, from domain-specific skills to interpersonal and industry-specific skills. Students learn skills at their own pace, anywhere, and at any time. However, we must create an environment that fosters skill absorption and includes innovative assessments that cannot be manipulated. Skills are evolving rapidly, and students must adapt to this constant change. In forums like this, where education leaders, EdTech players, and government representatives come together, how do these forums benefit the education sector at large? These forums serve as platforms for ideation, bringing together thought leaders from government, industry, and enablers. They also attract students who can benefit from these discussions. These forums allow for engaging, pertinent discussions, highlighting challenges and opportunities. Collaboration and networking are key outcomes of such events. ArdorComm Media Group has recently completed 2 years of its existence, any wishes or message for us? I wish that more such companies come, I wish for your company to grow many folds because this is an area where collaborators have to play a very important role and these bridges that are created need to be fostered so all the best.
