Highway
Beyond Speed
Making Expressways Smarter and Safer
Business Background
A 701-kilometer expressway was launched to boost connectivity and economic growth across Maharashtra. However, within just nine months of partial operations, it recorded over 1,200 accidents and more than 130 fatalities, exposing serious gaps in safety, traffic regulation, and emergency response. Conventional systems struggled to manage the demands of such a high-speed, high-volume corridor. A state-of-the-art Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) was required to ensure safety, efficiency, and resilience across the entire expressway.
