The PSU National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) has recently announced that it will track around 100 toll plazas with GIS-based software for seamless movement of traffic at national highways. The said toll plazas have been identified based on congestion feedback received through 1,033 national highway helplines.
Officials from the NHAI have stated that a live monitoring and tracking system will provide congestion alerts and lane distribution recommendations when the queue of vehicles at a toll plaza is more than the prescribed limit. This flagship monitoring service will be extended to more toll plazas in a phased manner.
The software in concern shall share details related to the live status of queue length in meters, total waiting time and vehicle speed apart from providing the name and location of the toll plaza.
