NHAI's Rajmargyatra mobile app will show the best route to motorists, depending on the least toll from July 2025. (HT_PRINT) Check Offers The Rajmargyatra mobile application from the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will inform the motorists about the route attracting the least amount of toll between two destinations. The application provides the motorists with comprehensive information about the national highways and also comes with a grievance redressal system. Speaking to news agency PTI, Amrit Singha, Chief Product Officer, Intelligent Transportation System (ITS) of Indian Highways Management Company (IHMCL), said if there are three routes to travel to Lucknow from Delhi, the application will help the commuter choose the best one. Also, it will show which route commands the least amount of toll between these two destinations. "You can travel to Lucknow from Delhi via Yamuna Expressway, or travel by crossing Ghaziabad-Aligarh-Kanpur-Lucknow or app will inform motorists about the route which will attract the least amount of toll between Delhi and Lucknow," Singha reportedly said. He also said that two-wheelers and three-wheelers illegally enter the access-controlled Delhi-Gurgaon and Dwarka Expressway, citing the data compiled by NHAI's Advanced Traffic Management System(ATMS). As per the ATMS sample data, between June 21 and June 23, a total of 1.73 lakh violations were recorded, and more than one lakh of these were related to banned vehicles. Singha further said that NHAI is likely to open a 67-km-long spur connecting Bandikui to Jaipur via the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway, which will reduce travel time between these destinations. NHAI Rajasthan regional officer Pradeep Atri said that this new four-lane access-controlled Bandikui-Jaipur stretch, built at a cost of ₹ 1,368 crore, is expected to open for traffic trials by mid-July this year. This road was constructed in about 2.5 years and is expected to shift a major chunk of traffic from the old Delhi-Jaipur highway. Currently, it takes around four hours to drive from Delhi to Jaipur, 2.5 hours to reach Bandikui via the Delhi-Mumbai Expressway and another 1.5 hours to cover the last 67 km. With the new spur, this journey could be completed in about three hours.

Modern technology and enhanced surveillance across national highways for curtailing road safety violations
The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will implement advanced traffic management system (ATMS) with real-time tracking of safety violations and simultaneous issuance of challans for enhancing surveillance and road safety across all national highways with four or more lanes totalling 30,000 km in the next 2-3 years, according to senior officials of NHAI. The ATMS installation on a stretch of 56.46 km of Dwarka Expressway in the national capital region has been concluded, senior NHA officials told a group of journalists during a visit organised to the command and control centre of the Dwarka project. This stretch is the maiden project to be executed under the revised policy for ATMS brought out in October 2023 that enhances enforcement across 14 categories of violations such as triple riding, helmet and seatbelt violations, wrong lane or direction driving, presence of animals on the highway, and pedestrian crossings.. 'The focus of the new policy is to incorporate enforcement in addition to surveillance and integrate the police department so that challans can be issued. Earlier the end-user was NHAI, now it is the enforcement agencies,' explained one NHAI official who didn't want to be quoted. The new policy allows local police to generate e-challans through an API [Application Programming Interface]-based system that enables software applications to talk to each other. 'A specific incident about a road safety violation is created at our centre. Subsequently, the National Informatics Centre, which is the technology partner of the Central government, pushes this information to the police department and a challan is generated,' the above quoted official elaborated. On June 26, IHMCL also wrote to Delhi Police to start issuing challans based on the ATMS installed on Dwarka Expressway. The ATMS system ensures the highways are enabled with technology for 'real-time intelligence and incident management and analytics,' according to a handout from the IHMCL. Implementation of the ATMS system is already underway for other projects, which include Delhi-Agra Expressway, Lucknow Ring Road and the upcoming third ring road for New Delhi, the Urban Extension Road 2 (UER-2). A stretch of 20,000 kms was equipped with an older ATMS prior to the 2023 guidelines. At Dwarka Expressway, the ATMS system is supported by 110 pan-tilt-zoom cameras with each camera at every 1 km for real time monitoring that are also equipped with basic AI intelligence to detect accidents and breakdowns. There are also 15 Video Incident Detection and Enforcement Systems (VIDES) or a system of cameras installed on gantries with each such system deployed at a distance of 10 km which is capable of detecting 14 kinds of violations with high level of accuracy and is further connected to NIC and police departments. VIDES also allows vehicle counting and classification for monitoring traffic data. There are also six Vehicle Acutated Speed Display on LED screens at intervals of 20 km that use radar based detection to warn road users if they are nearing the upper speed limit and serves as a speed calming measure. Ten variable messaging sign boards or screens have also been installed for real-time updates to road users on traffic conditions, diversions, weather, and incidents to improve driver awareness.
