The Advanced Traffic Management System comprises of entities such as ECB, VMS, CCTV, ATCC, VIDS and MET. Out of these hardware components Emergency Call Box (ECB) and Variable Message Sign Board (VMS) and ATMS software are produced in house. While Closed Circuit Television (CCTV), Automatic Traffic Counter cum Classifier (ATCC), Vehicle Incident Detection System (VIDS) and Meteorological Observation Table (MET) are the bought out items.
Connecting systems and data to optimize transportation management, reduce congestion, and preserve economic prosperity and quality of life.
Data is essential for modern traffic management — having it, analysing it, sharing it. Our advanced traffic management systems provide a fountain of traffic information and it loves to share.
It works on a regional level, allowing road operators to prevent or reduce congestion, detect and respond to incidents, and share data with drivers through traveller information systems, websites and even the media. With landlocked freeways and right of way issues, we can’t build our way out of gridlock. But. we can get more out of existing roadways with more efficient, cost-effective ATMS solutions.

With the development of the times, the global car ownership is increasing year over year. The figure doubles approximately every 15 years, and is expected to reach 150 Million by 2025.
Initiatives to Promote Traffic Safety
The Government of India aims to reduce road fatalities & injuries by 50% by the year 2030, as per its commitment under the Stockholm Declaration. To this end, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has adopted a multi-pronged approach of 4E’s, namely, Education, Engineering (both of roads and vehicles), Enforcement and Emergency Care. Accordingly, various initiatives have been taken by the Ministry. Further, the notifications related to road and vehicle safety are notified from time to time after due consultation with all the concerned stakeholders.
Road Accident Data Insights
The Annual Report on ‘Road Accidents in India-2022” has been published by the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways. This report is based on the data/information received from police departments of States/UTs on calendar year basis in standardized formats as provided by the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Asia and the Pacific (UNESCAP) under the Asia Pacific Road Accident Data (APRAD) base project.
As per the report, a total of 4,61,312 road accidents have been reported by States and Union Territories (UTs) during the calendar year 2022, which claimed 1,68,491 lives and caused injuries to 4,43,366 persons. This marks an increase of 11.9% in accidents, 9.4% in fatalities, and 15.3% in injuries compared to the previous year.
The report underscores the urgency of adopting a comprehensive approach to address the contributing factors to these accidents, including speeding, reckless driving, drunken driving, and non-compliance with traffic regulations. It is crucial that we strengthen enforcement mechanisms, enhance driver education and training programs, and invest in improving the condition of roads and vehicles.
The Ministry is committed to implementing robust measures to curb road accidents. The Ministry is also working towards various aspects such as road user behaviour, road infrastructure, vehicle standards, enforcement of traffic regulations, and the role of technology in accident prevention. As the road accidents are multi-causal in nature, requiring multi-pronged approach to mitigate the problems through concerted efforts of all agencies at both Central Government and State Governments. The Ministry, along with various other related organizations as well as stakeholders has formulated a multi-pronged strategy to address the issue of road safety focusing on all 4Es including Education, Engineering (both roads and vehicles), Enforcement and Emergency Care.
Furthermore, the Ministry is actively involved in initiatives such as implementation of modern transportation systems, road safety audits, and international collaborations to learn from global best practices. Initiatives like the Electronic Detailed Accident Report (e-DAR) for real-time data analysis and automated vehicle inspection centers are also underway to combat road accidents.
The “Road Accidents in India-2022” report serves as a valuable resource for policymakers, researchers, and stakeholders in the realm of road safety. It offers in-depth insights into various aspects of road accidents, including their causes, locations, and their impact on different categories of road users. The report also sheds light on emerging trends, challenges, and the Ministry’s road safety initiatives.
