Gadkari was responding to queries raised by Alathur MP K. Radhakrishnan regarding the deployment of Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) on National Highways and reviews conducted on accident data before and after ITS implementation.
Gadkari highlighted that ATMS can be implemented as part of ATMS or integrated into broader Vehicle-to-Everything (V2X) communication networks. The primary goal of ATMS is to reduce accidents, traffic violations and incident response times.
He added that the Government plans to roll out ATMS solutions on Highways and Expressways in a phased manner. The Mysuru-Bengaluru Highway is the first and only Highway in India where ATMS implementation has been completed.
