Digital Highways: Dwarka Expressway Gets India's First AI-powered Smart Traffic System
Last Updated: The Advanced Traffic Management System has various components to catch traffic violators, being able to detect not having a seatbelt on, triple riding, and speeding In a move towards smart and safer highways, Delhi's Dwarka Expressway on Wednesday got India's first AI-based traffic governance and road safety system. Dwarka Expressway will now have the Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS), which is being recognised as a national model for AI-based traffic governance and road safety. It is aligned with the latest 2023 guidelines of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI). According to an official statement from NHAI, ATMS is 56.46 km long, with 28.46 km on the Dwarka Expressway and the rest on NH-48 from Shiv Murti to Kherki Daula. This is a key national corridor turned into a next-generation digital highway, read the statement. WHAT DOES THE ATMS DO? The ATMS has been developed by IHMCL (Indian Highways Management Company Ltd) and implemented by NHAI. It has various components to catch violators of traffic laws, being able to detect things such as not having a seatbelt on, triple riding, and speeding, said Amrit Singha, chief product officer of IHMCL. 'Various components of the ATMS project have been covered. The salient components are traffic monitoring cameras, the second is the video incident detection and enforcement system…through all these, we are able to detect approximately 14 different types of incidents, including overspeeding, no seatbelt, and triple riding, so these are all challanable incidents as per the Motor Vehicle Act," Singha told news agency ANI. The ATMS is integrated with the NIC e-challan portal, which shares traffic violation incidents with the police departments. The NHAI said it has five main components: Traffic Monitoring Camera System (TMCS) with 110 high-resolution PTZ cameras placed at 1-km intervals with 24/ live monitoring; Video Incident Detection and Enforcement System (VIDES); Vehicle Actuated Speed Display System (VASD); Variable Message Signboards (VMS); and a Central Control Room. 'The Command Centre acts as the digital brain of the corridor, integrating with local and national systems to enable quick deployment of emergency units during accidents, fog conditions, road obstructions, or animal intrusion. This data-driven management ensures shorter response times, fewer delays, and safer commutes," said the NHAI. (With agency inputs) First Published: June 25, 2025, 22:55 IST

Delhi expressway gets India's first AI-powered smart traffic system
New Delhi: India unveiled its first Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) project at Delhi's Dwarka Expressway on Wednesday. The project is aligned with the latest 2023 guidelines of the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) in a move towards smart and safer highways. The ATMS system, deployed on the Dwarka Expressway and a 28-km stretch of NH-48 from Shiv Murti to Kherki Daula, is transforming a key national corridor into a next-generation digital highway. The system was developed by IHMCL (Indian Highways Management Company Ltd) and implemented by NHAI. The project covers 56.46 kilometres and is being recognised as a national model for AI-based traffic governance and road safety. The Chief Product Officer of IHMCL, Amrit Singha, said that the ATMS has various components to catch violators of traffic laws, being able to detect things such as not having a seatbelt, triple riding, and overspeeding. "Various components of the ATMS project have been covered.

While discussing road safety awareness, the IHMCL official added, "From the NHAI point of view, what we can do is we have various information dissemination programs. We also conduct a lot of programs related to road safety. So through ATMS, we also like to generate public and general awareness among the citizens, specifically road users, about road safety. We also see technology as an enabler for meeting road safety goals for the public." The system is also integrated with the NIC E-challan portal, which shares various traffic violation incidents with the proper police department. According to an official statement from NHAI, ATMS is 56.46 km long, with 28.46 km on the Dwarka Expressway and the rest on NH-48. Detailing 5 main components of the ATMS, the statement mentioned that there is a Traffic Monitoring Camera System (TMCS) with 110 high-resolution PTZ cameras placed at 1-km intervals with 24/ live monitoring; Video Incident Detection and Enforcement System (VIDES); Vehicle Actuated Speed Display System (VASD); Variable Message Signboards (VMS), and a Central Control Room.

Next-generation digital highway: Delhi's Dwarka Expressway gets India's first AI-powered smart traffic system; check top features
India has launched its first Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) project on the in Delhi on Wednesday. The initiative complies with the National Highways Authority of India's (NHAI) latest 2023 guidelines, advancing towards intelligent and secure highways. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now The ATMS implementation spans the Dwarka Expressway and a 28-km section of NH-48, stretching from Shiv Murti to Kherki Daula, establishing a contemporary digital highway infrastructure. IHMCL (Indian Highways Management Company Ltd) developed the system, with NHAI overseeing its implementation. Covering 56.46 kilometres, this project serves as a national benchmark for artificial intelligence-based traffic administration and road safety measures, according to an ANI report. India's first AI-powered smart traffic system The ATMS project has several key elements, with traffic monitoring cameras and video incident detection and enforcement systems being primary components. According to Amrit Singha, Chief Product Officer of IHMCL, the ATMS incorporates various features to identify traffic rule violations, including detection capabilities for seatbelt non-compliance, triple riding incidents, and speed limit breaches. "Through all these, we are able to detect approximately 14 different types of incidents, including overspeeding, no seatbelt, and triple riding, so these are all challanable incidents as per the Motor Vehicle Act," Singha told ANI. The IHMCL representative elaborated on road safety initiatives, explaining that NHAI implements various information dissemination programmes. The organisation utilises ATMS to enhance public awareness about road safety amongst citizens, particularly those who use roads. Technology serves as a vital tool in achieving road safety objectives for the public. The infrastructure includes integration with the NIC E-challan portal, which communicates traffic violations to the relevant police authorities. Tired of too many ads? go ad free now NHAI has stated that ATMS spans 56.46 km, with 28.46 km situated along the Dwarka Expressway whilst the remaining portion extends across NH-48. The official communication outlined five primary elements of the ATMS infrastructure. These include a Traffic Monitoring Camera System (TMCS) featuring 110 high-resolution PTZ cameras installed at 1-km intervals with round-the-clock surveillance, Video Incident Detection and Enforcement System (VIDES), Vehicle Actuated Speed Display System (VASD), Variable Message Signboards (VMS), and a Central Control Room. "The Command Centre acts as the digital brain of the corridor, integrating with local and national systems to enable quick deployment of emergency units during accidents, fog conditions, road obstructions, or animal intrusion. This data-driven management ensures shorter response times, fewer delays, and safer commutes," the statement read. The innovative ATMS implementation is now considered a nationwide benchmark for artificial intelligence-driven traffic management and road safety protocols.
