NHAI Launches Pilot Project for Real-Time Safety Alerts on National Highways
The National Highways Authority of India has launched a new pilot project aimed at enhancing safety for commuters on national highways. This initiative focuses on delivering real-time safety alerts directly to drivers and passengers.
How the Safety Alert System Works
During the pilot phase, the system will send immediate notifications about potential hazards. Commuters will first receive a Flash SMS on their mobile phones. This will be followed by a voice alert delivered in Hindi to ensure clear communication.
The alerts will specifically warn about dangers such as stray cattle on the road ahead. This proactive approach aims to reduce accidents and improve overall highway safety.
Goals of the Pilot Project
NHAI officials state that the primary goal is to test the effectiveness of real-time communication with highway users. By providing timely warnings, they hope to prevent collisions and other incidents.
The pilot project represents a significant step in leveraging technology for public safety. If successful, it could be expanded to cover more highways and additional types of hazards.
This initiative underscores NHAI's commitment to using innovative solutions to protect commuters. It addresses a common issue faced by drivers across India's extensive highway network.
