weighing machines at all toll plazas on National Highways to prevent and detect
overloading of commercial goods transport vehicles. NHAI has mandated Indian

Shri Nitin Gadkari launches Highway Advisory System
Pilot Project on Delhi-Jaipur Highway
The Minister
of Road Transport & Highways and Shipping Shri Nitin Gadkari launched the
Highway Advisory System (HAS) as a pilot project on the Delhi-Jaipur Highway,
NH-8, in New Delhi today. HAS is a free-to-air information distribution
system that uses radio to make the travelling experience on National Highways
safer, faster and hassle-free.
Under the
project real time highway information will be gathered from
concessionaires, patrol vehicles, toll plazas and traffic marshals. This
information will be transmitted to HAS control centre using mobile
applications, telephones and sensors. HAS control centre willcollect
data, process and analyze it , generate alerts and send it to be broadcast by
All India Radio. Information and alerts will be broadcast over AIR’s
Delhi, Alwar and Jaipur FM stations. 22 bulletins will be issued every day
including safety awareness content along with live traffic updates on NH8.
Speaking on
the occasion Shri Gadkari said that the Government is committed to reduce
fatality due to road accidents by 50 percent. HAS is an aid that will
help to achieve this target. By giving information about traffic conditions on
the highway, accidents, weather and meteorological information and
information on highway amenities, the system will help to reduce road accidents
and also fatality resulting from these accidents, and make travel faster
and more convenient. The radio broadcasts will also raise people’s
awareness about road safety, which is very necessary for making our highways
safe for the commuters, he added.
Shri Pon
Radhakrishnan, Minister of State for Road Transport & Highways and Shipping
added that highway users will be greatly benefitted by HAS.
The current
project will be implemented in three phases. Phase –I was inaugurated today. By
Phase II it is expected to augment the broadcast infrastructure to cover
the entire stretch of the highway, install sensors to gather additional real
time traffic information, broadcast in both Analog & Digital (Simulcast)
Radio mode and do impact measurement through an external agency. By phase
III HAS services will be in only digital broadcasting mode and there will be
monitoring & 3rd party audit
