Indian Traffic: A Smart Solution

Indian metro cities are growing faster with people from the rural areas pouring in, and the existing ones multiplying. The population has outgrown current amenities and resources. Houses are smaller, water is polluted, the trash is over-flowing and the roads are inadequate to accommodate all the vehicles.

Among all the problems in Indian modern cities, traffic remains the most urgent issue we need to address. It is estimated that average time a commuter spends on a weekday to travel is 91 minutes in Indian metro cities, according to Dalia Research conducted in 2017. As per the same review, we have reached among the top 5 countries with the longest traffic time. Congestion degenerates economy by making trips longer. The environment is at great risk as the pollution from vehicles has increased tenfold; what it impacts the greatest is human health and lifestyle. The Indian population has surpassed the existing infrastructure rendering it scarce for modern India.

A large number of private vehicles are adding to the existing congestion problem. A flood of new models are slated to enter India over the next five years, intensifying competition in the country’s $30 billion auto market, which is expected to rank behind only China and the U.S. in sales by 2020, as stated in the Economic Times in 2017. Maruti Suzuki India Ltd., the nation’s biggest carmaker, says it aims to double the portion of sales from auto-gear vehicles by 2020. Many other car and truck companies are investing in the Indian market, which has the potential to grow. Some measures are being taken to tackle the traffic problem but the solutions are short. Projects like share cabs from India’s leading cab service have helped a little in the huge traffic problem.

The correct way to approach the problem is by automation. Smart products take better care of a puzzle that is too time-consuming for the human brain. Thousands of probabilities and experiences and data is pilled up and loaded to the software. It analyzes and takes quick decisions to solve the problems. This shall save a huge amount of time and resources. It will contribute to less pollution and might slow down health effects on the urban population. The need for staff will be eliminated thus bringing fast and accurate results. Barcelona, for example, has installed adaptive traffic lights to steer the traffic in the right direction. It has solved the traffic problems to great extents! Copenhagen’s integrative public transport model helps avoid traffic; it automatically regulates the flow. This way the traffic is diverted to alternative roads and the problem of congestion is resolved.

Traffic lights have operated on the same algorithm since decades, they can be automated with software that can help in decision making. Number plates of vehicles can be tracked to know how many vehicles have passed a particular junction, and for keeping a record. Automatic signs need to show up on roads with local information about traffic conditions. All these working in sync are going to ease traffic at once and provide you with better travel experience.

Masstrans provides all the solutions that are required to control traffic. The adaptive traffic control system adjusts to changing traffic conditions. With automatic number plate recognition and red light violation detection, roads can be made safe from people violating rules. These are placed at road junctions and major squares. Variable message display on the pole is designed to display weather conditions, its forecast and traffic conditions. It supports various other types of messages as well. Speed control signs put breaks on vehicles that over-speed unnecessarily. This can bring down mishaps on roads and keep traffic in order.

The catastrophe of traffic congestion is huge and may get out of control soon, but can be handled better with smart products that ease the whole process. Indian infrastructure will benefit from advanced solutions.

Intelligent Transportation Solutions: The future of Indian Transport

Increasing traffic is one of the most time-consuming problems India is facing right now. As technology is progressing, so is the amount of traffic. An increasing number of vehicles, with infrastructure improving at a slower rate has lead to chronic traffic congestion problems, while the citizens are being stripped off in terms of time and wealth.

As per Quartz India, approximately Rs. 2.2 Crores was wasted in India last year due to traffic congestion; that includes fuel wastage, slow speed of freight vehicles and the long wait at toll plazas. This affects us by the increased level of pollution and lost time. The time factor in traffic is being reconsidered by the European nations. ‘Travelling to work is work,’ indicates the European Court rules. Considering that the time of commute to work is increasing per day with a growing number of transportation problems, relevant actions need to be taken. On average, commuters in Delhi, Mumbai, Bengaluru, and Kolkata spend 1.5 hours more on their daily commute than their counterparts in other Asian cities during peak traffic times, according to a report in 2017 presented by the Boston Consulting Group. The total vehicle population in 2015 was 210 million. It comprised of 73.5% two-wheelers, 13.6% cars, jeeps and taxis, 1% buses, 4.4% goods vehicle and 7.5% other vehicles. The sale of Passenger Vehicles grew by 7.89 percent in April-March 2018. Some measures are being taken but they will not last long as the infrastructure is now outdated to support modern problems. With so much time being spent by such a large percentage of the population on the roads, advanced and smart solutions are the need of the hour.

The purpose of ITS (Intelligent Transportation Solutions) is to process daily data and give out quick solutions. It can share traffic and weather information that can prevent potential crashes, keep the traffic moving, and decrease the negative environmental impacts. Indian railways is another huge entity that needs to be modernized as it connects nearly the whole of India and is a major freight mover too. Upgrading public transport to a more intelligent system will have an exponential effect on the nation’s economy. Many cities are investing in developing city metro rail networks, this will help relieve urban traffic to an extent.

While some attempts have been made to control congestion on roads, none of the traditional solutions have satisfied the need. Also, transport demands have seen a rapid increase in the country, which mandates the need for automation and organization. One accidental death occurs every four seconds in India – we have been reminded by Economic Times via 2017 reports. Taking the gravity of these numbers into consideration, it is safe to deduce that automation and road safety is an urgency in India!

At Masstrans we provide transportation solutions for the modern era. We strongly believe in setting trends and making lifestyle better; in this case with safe and convenient transit solutions.

Q: The number of road accidents increasing in India is very alarming. Do you have any solution to detect or curb such incidents on the highways? A: We have a radar which detects incidents (or even potential incidents) on the highways and transmits data to the back-end for requisite action. The only issue being such radars need to be deployed all along the highways at intervals of 1Km and that’s not feasible. They need to be deployed at particular locations where there is a previous record of accidents or at locations where there are chances of accidents due to the road alignment. Trailer mounted VMSs are used internationally to warn road users of ongoing road work ahead or of an already occurred accident / incident. Such VMSs need to be deployed by the road contractors all across the nation in large numbers. These will help in large scale curbing of accidents on highways.

Intelligent urban solutions are the best choice to make Indian cities safer, cleaner and smarter. We believe in innovation and technology, and look forward to transform India.
