New Delhi, May 16 (KNN) The integrated data collection system will assist in developing an accurate and scientific maintenance planning mechanism, finalising road safety measures and development of the national highways network in India.
“The system would compile information on road assets, condition of the pavements and traffic through use of laser technology,” said Road Transport, Highways and Shipping, Nitin Gadkari while launching the state of the art integrated data collection system here on Saturday.
He also said that the ministry has been working on developing highway radio and highway village along with engaging contractors from local areas for plantation, transplantation and maintenance of greenery along national highways.
The data collected will be stored and managed through a web based application, which will be hosted in the public domain. The application, when fully developed, can also be accessed by smart phones. Information collected from this project will be useful for Transport Ministry, Finance Ministry, NHAI, State PWDs, Police departments, funding agencies, developers and citizens.
The software will be equipped to interface with the indigenous Bhuvan satellite images. The survey vehicle is equipped with three cameras including pavement view, 15 advanced Lasers and GPS connected to Gagan satellite.
The development of Road Asset Management System (RAMS) for the entire National Highways along with collection of requisite data over 3,000 km of the pilot road network is underway as part of the Prime Minister’s Digital India initiative.
A workshop on ‘Road Asset Management System for National Highways’ was also organised to mark the launch of the system. (KNN/ST)
