## ANSWER

## THE MINISTER OF ROAD TRANSPORT AND HIGHWAYS

(SHRI NITIN JAIRAM GADKARI)

- (a) Intelligent Transport System (ITS) can be implemented as Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) or it can be part of broader  (Vehicle  to  Everything)  V2X  communication.  The  objective is to reduce accidents, traffic violations and incident response time by implementation  of  ATMS.  Government plans  to  implement  the  ATMS solution  in  Highways  and  Expressways  in  phased  manner.   The standalone ATMS projects are as under:

| Corridor Name                     |   Length (km) | State(s)       | Status                  |
|-----------------------------------|---------------|----------------|-------------------------|
| Bangalore - Mysore (Augmentation) |           117 | Karnataka      | Completed in July, 2024 |
| Dwarka Expressway                 |            58 | Delhi, Haryana | Awarded                 |
| Delhi-Agra                        |           180 | Uttar Pradesh  | Awarded                 |
| Lucknow Ring Road                 |           103 | Uttar Pradesh  | Awarded                 |
| UER-II                            |            75 | Delhi, Haryana | Under Bidding           |
| Bangalore Ring Road               |            80 | Karnataka      | Under Bidding           |
| Chardham Connectivity             |           825 | Uttrakhand     | Under Bidding           |

In  addition  to  above,  Government  has  implemented/implementing ATMS  as  part  of  highway  projects  like  Delhi-Mumbai  Expressway, Trans-Haryana Expressway,  Delhi-Dehradun Expressway,  AmritsarJamnagar Expressway etc.

- (b)  In  some  projects,  for  e.g.  in  Bangalore-Mysuru  Expressway, the accident data before and after installation of ATMS was reviewed and it was found that there is decrease in fatality post implementation of ATMS in July, 2024. (Accident Data attached as Annexure A).
- (c) These  two  separate  systems  can  be  integrated.   However  it  is understood that Smart Cities Mission essentially deals with only urban areas  included  in  the  Mission  whereas  Highways  criss-cross  the country.
- (d) Under the scheme "Central assistance for strengthening the ITS in Public  Transport  System  in  the  Country"  the  Government  provides financial  support  for  development  and  implementation  of  advanced Information and  Communication  Technology  (ICT)  and  Intelligent Transport  System  (ITS)  in  buses  being  operated  by  State  Road Transport Undertakings(SRTUs)/ State Transport Undertakings(STUS/State Transport Corporations(STCs).

The Details of approved projects under ITS scheme of MoRTH for the Transport Bodies is attached as Annexure B.
