The Advanced Traffic Management System on Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway will enhance the reliability of travel experiences for road users through advanced technologies and real-time traffic management strategies.

Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway News: The Expressway is now ready with AI-enabled Advanced Traffic Management System for enhanced road safety and digital enforcement under the new National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) guidelines for Implementation of ATMS on National Highways & Expressways.

The NHAI’s latest policy, which was released last year, introduces a comprehensive update for Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) projects. Assessing the 2016 Circular’s relevance and adequacy in light of the latest 2023 technology, a policy guideline has been issued. And the revised guidelines represent a substantial improvement over previous standards, promising significant enhancements in road safety and quicker incident response times.

How ATMS on Expressways Will Offer Safe Travel?

The Advanced Traffic Management System will reduce accidents, Physical Enforcement (Route Patrol Vehicles), Digital Enforcement (eChallans), and will also enhance the reliability of travel experiences for road users through advanced technologies and real-time traffic management strategies.

A smart security and surveillance solutions provider, Vehant Technologies has recently completed the implementation of 242 AI-enabled video analytics use cases combining VehiScan and TrafficMon for the VIDES & VASD system alongside various camera licenses at Bengaluru to Mysuru section of NH-275 in association with its Master System Integrator Tecsidel Eysa.

This ATMS installations include, Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) systems, Speed Violation detection system with 4D Radars , Traffic Video Analytics (Traffic VA), Video Incident Detection System (VIDS) & Automatic Traffic Counter and Classifier (ATCC) along with a Central Management System (CMS) dashboard and enabled with  Centralized  Electronic Challan (Central E-Challan) system, enhancing public safety and operational efficiency in urban areas and beyond.

How New Guidelines Will Make Expressways Safe for Traveler ?

With an effort to improve road safety and reduce incident response time, National Highways Authority of India has released its updated policy to implement upgraded and forward-looking Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) Standards and Specifications 2023.

The new Video Incident Detection and Enforcement System (VIDES) application now includes a comprehensive range of bundled analytics with the capability to identify 14 distinct incidents including triple riding, helmet and seatbelt violations, wrong lane or direction driving.

These enhancements also cover accident collisions, vehicles ramming into siderails or medians, etc. The system also identifies opposite-side traffic, detects stationary vehicles, presence of animals on the highway, pedestrian crossings and monitors for fog, smoke or low visibility during daytime.

Moreover, it can detect debris or fallen objects that could impact traffic or affect road safety. These advanced analytics enable quicker detection and response to potential hazards, thereby significantly improving overall road safety.

The TraffiMon-SVD (Speed Violation Detection) System has also seen substantial improvements. Each location will be equipped with an ANPR (Automatic Number Plate Recognition), Over-speeding/Instant Speed, Average Speed, and a Wrong Lane Driving analytics. Additionally, it includes by Vehant Technologies for detecting seat-belt violations, no helmet in two-wheelers, triple riding in two-wheelers, banned vehicles, and an Automatic Traffic Counter & Classifier (ATCC)
