NHAI AMALGAMATES TOP-NOTCH TECHNOLOGIES FOR EFFICIENT MANAGEMENT OF NATIONAL HIGHWAYS




National Highways Authority of India (NHAI), the autonomous agency of the Government of India, responsible for the construction and management of the Highway Network in India, is committed to provide world-class facilities to highway users while travelling on the National Highways of India. Apart from constructing National Highways at unparallel speed, it’s also working relentlessly to integrate Information Technology for the efficient management, construction and operations on these highways. This ambitious IT project of NHAI is set to improve planning, monitoring, operation and maintenance of the Highways. NHAI’s consistent and focused efforts are serving to achieve the vision of Honorable Prime Minister Shri Narendra Modi’s Digital India.
The NHAI has always emphasized on the need for a modern, digitalized road asset management system for roads. In order to render this world-class service to users, NHAI is incorporating novel Information Technologies for high-end monitoring and maintenance of Highways.
With the use of satellites and drones, NHAI can monitor the speed and quality of the construction work on the National Highways. NHAI is also determined to improve the Highway Operations, for which they created a new Highway Operations Division under the dynamic leadership of efficient officer Shri Akhilesh Srivastava, CGM (Highway Operations & IT). This division will especially work to improve the Highway network utilization. NHAI has introduced the Road Asset Management System (RAMS), which has been designed to facilitate timely repairs/maintenance of roads. Apart from this, NHAI is also using GAGAN and BHUVAN satellites to prepare a 360-degree mapping of road assets to facilitate and manage road assets for future purposes. NHAI has already started the Online Monitoring of Toll Plazas, which is crucial for proper toll collection and resolving traffic congestion issues. This online monitoring also helps in studying the traffic patterns at the particular toll plazas.


To develop this huge Highway Network NHAI is giving various contracts of Engineering, Procurement and Construction (EPC) and Hybrid Annuity Model (HAM), where the close monitoring of ongoing projects is a necessity. To reduce project delays there is the urgent need for intensive and online monitoring. This is only possible by real-time live video feeds and monitoring through Video Wall and Video Conferencing. This hi-tech IT system employed by the Highway Operations Division enables NHAI to achieve desired levels of efficiency in planning, operations and maintenance of national highways.
