India’s first Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) project has been inaugurated on the Dwarka Expressway in Delhi. In an effort to create safer and smarter roads, the project complies with the National Highways Authority of India’s (NHAI) most recent 2023 criteria.
The ATMS system has been installed on the Dwarka Expressway and a 28 km section of NH-48 from Shiv Murti to Kherki Daula. With the deployment of this technology, a key national corridor is being transformed into a next-generation digital highway. The 56.46 km project is now being regarded as a national example for road safety and AI-based traffic governance.
The ATMS contains multiple components that can identify traffic law violations, including over-speeding, triple riding, and failure to wear a seatbelt.
Additionally, the system is integrated with the NIC E-challan portal, which notifies the appropriate police department of various traffic infringement events.
The ATMS consists of five main components: a central control room; a vehicle actuated speed display system (VASD); a video incident detection and enforcement system (VIDES); a traffic monitoring camera system (TMCS) with 110 high-resolution PTZ cameras positioned at 1 km intervals with round-the-clock live monitoring; and variable message signboards (VMS).
As the corridor’s digital brain, the command centre integrates with regional and national networks to facilitate the prompt deployment of emergency units in the event of an accident, fog, roadblock, or animal incursion. Shorter reaction times, lesser delays, and safer trips are guaranteed by this data-driven management.
