Indian company 2114 ARS Traffic & Transport Technology (ARS T&TT India) has helped Madhya Pradesh Road Development Corporation (MPRDC) to set up the one of the country’s first integrated accident response system and traffic management centres, a system that integrates emergency response with intelligent transportation systems.

The centre will monitor and mobilise traffic on 20,000 km of road including national highways, state highways and major district roads and is designed to play a pivotal role in significantly improving mobility and road safety in the central Indian state.

Along with monitoring the operational efficiency of toll operators, the centre is part of the state’s disaster management policy, acting as a national incident resolution centre in case of accidents.

The operational systems use camera based video surveillance of traffic flow as well as data warehousing and analytics to identify the nearest facilities with the required support functions along with dispatch and real-time navigation of emergency response vehicles such as ambulances, cranes, etc.
