  2. The urgency to plan and manage transportation more coherently, with more defined goals and common objectives is being understood by the government now.

  3. All govt. departments related to transportation in India are presently finalizing plans, policies and strategies to ensure safety, efficiency and sustainability of moving people and goods, optimize asset management and harmonise cohere technology developments.

  4. And this couldn’t be happening at a more opportune time.

  5. Urbanization is happening at a very fast rate, posing immense challenges to urban authorities to plan and manage transportation with great flexibility and scalability.The percentage decadal growth of population in urban areas during the decade is 31.2 percent respectively.

  6. The Govt. has pledged connectivity to all rural and remote areas in India within the next five years, through the Prime Minister’s Gram Sadak Yojana (Prime Minister’s Rural Roads Programme)

  7. National Highways Development Programme is in full swing. With a total length of 33 lakh km, the road network of India was one of the largest in the world, second only to the United States.

  8. The Govt. has identified transport and infrastructure as first priority, with rail, ports, aviation and river interlinking allocated handsome budgets to move India forward – fast with telecom IT as the backbone.

  9. Yet this rapid development has also given rise to the worst problems related to traffic accidents, congestion and environmental pollution.

  10. ØAbout 80,000 people die on Indian roads each year – one of the highest in the world. Ø      Delhi, Kanpur, Agra are among some of the most polluted cities in the world, giving dramatic rise to asthma and bronchial diseases among the citizens, particularly infants and children Ø      At the present rate of growth, it is estimated that speeds on Delhi roads of motorized traffic will fall to 5 km/hour!

  11. But with integrated, coherent planning, a powerful pool of trained professionals in IT, engineers and telecom, India has the potential to align its development to the 21st century to address these problems.

  12. Therefore, the e-Safety programme signed between AITS, India and Ertico couldn’t have come at a better time. It was signed in the presence of the Indian Minister for Science & Technology, Shri Kapil Sibal during the 7th Asia-Pacific Conference & Exhibition in August this year
