AI to make roads in India safer to drive
Context
The Indian government recently announced that a technology-fueled by AI could reduce the risk of road accidents in the country.
About
About Intelligent Solutions for Road Safety through Technology and Engineering’ (iRASTE) Project:
- A project called ‘Intelligent Solutions for Road Safety through Technology and Engineering’ (iRASTE) is being implemented in Nagpur to tackle the problem of road accidents.
- The project is based on artificial intelligence (AI) and will help identify potential accident-causing scenarios while driving a vehicle.
- iRASTE will alert drivers about the potential accident with the help of the Advance Driver Assistance System (ADAS).
- The iRASTE project is being undertaken by the I-Hub Foundation, IIIT Hyderabad, a Technology Innovation Hub (TIH) set up in the technology vertical- Data Banks and Data Services supported by the Department of Science and Technology (DST) under its National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS) along with INAI (Applied AI Research Institute).
- The project consortium includes CSIR-CRRI, and Nagpur Municipal Corporation, with Mahindra and Intel as the industry partners.
- The project (iRASTE) will also identify ‘greyspots’, by data analysis and mobility analysis by continuously monitoring dynamic risks on the entire road network.
- The need to identify ‘greyspots’ is of immense importance because if they remain unaddressed, they can become blackspots (locations with fatal accidents).
- The system performs continuous monitoring of roads and designs engineering fixes to correct existing road blackspots for preventive maintenance and improved road infrastructure.
- The Technology Innovation Hub is working to coordinate, integrate, and amplify basic and applied research in broad data-driven technologies as well as its dissemination and translation across the country.
