India Expands AI-Based Advanced Traffic Management Systems on Highways and Expressways
India is advancing its road safety measures by deploying Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS) across over 52,000 km of national highways and expressways with four or more lanes. The system includes AI-based video incident detection, Automatic Number Plate Recognition cameras, and surveillance for real-time monitoring and enforcement. In Lucknow, a 104-km Outer Ring Road has been equipped with ATMS featuring a warning-first approach for speeding, combining alerts and automated e-challans to enhance compliance and reduce accidents.
