The project \u2018Intelligent Solutions for Road Safety through Technology and Engineering\u2019 (iRASTE) is being implemented in Nagpur.<\/p>\n
This is a unique AI approach that uses the predictive power of AI to identify risks on the road, and a collision alert system to communicate timely alerts to drivers, to make several improvements related to road safety.<\/p>\n
Objective<\/strong>: To significantly reduce road accidents.<\/p>\n Implemented by<\/strong>: I-Hub Foundation, IIIT Hyderabad, a Technology Innovation Hub (TIH) supported by the Department of Science and Technology (DST) under its National Mission on Interdisciplinary Cyber-Physical Systems (NM-ICPS)<\/a> along with INAI (Applied AI Research Institute).<\/p>\n The project will<\/p>\n -Identify potential accident-causing scenarios while driving a vehicle and alert drivers about the same with the help of the Advance Driver Assistance System (ADAS).<\/p>\n -Identify \u2018greyspots\u2019, i.e., by data analysis and mobility analysis by continuously monitoring dynamic risks on the entire road network.<\/p>\n Note<\/strong>: Greyspots are locations on roads, which left unaddressed could become blackspots (locations with fatal accidents).<\/p>\n -Conducts continuous monitoring of roads and designs engineering fixes to correct existing road blackspots for preventive maintenance and improved road infrastructure.<\/p>\n AI and technology are being applied to create practical solutions, as a blueprint, for Indian conditions. These include 1)<\/strong> Used first of its kind India Driving Dataset (IDD)<\/strong>. It is a dataset for road scene understanding in unstructured environments captured from Indian roads, 2)<\/strong> Open World Object Detection on Road Scenes (ORDER) dataset<\/strong>: It is developed under IDD. This could be used by autonomous navigation systems in Indian driving conditions for localization and classification of the objects in a road scene,<\/p>\n 3)<\/strong> LaneRoadNet (LRNet)<\/strong>: It has been designed to address problems of Indian roads, which have several obstacles, occluded lane markings, broken dividers, cracks, potholes, etc. 4) Mobility Car Data Platform (MCDP)<\/strong>: It has been designed with several sensors \u2013 cameras, LIDARs, for anyone to capture or process data on the car that can help researchers and start-ups in India test their automotive algorithms and approaches in navigation and research on Indian roads.<\/p>\n Source:\u00a0<\/b>The post is based on the article \u201cAI to make roads in India safer to drive” <\/b>published in\u00a0PIB <\/b>on 24th May 2022.<\/b><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" What is the News?
