RITES Partners with NHAI for Road Safety Assessments

The National Roads Authority of India (NHAI) and RITES have partnered to offer advice services for road safety evaluations on roads, bridges, and tunnels. RITES will provide consulting services for NHAI projects in these locations, with an emphasis on road safety checks, per a filing with the exchange.

In order to guarantee the security and dependability of the country’s roads, RITES will carry out external technical audits, keep an eye on the condition of the infrastructure, and offer quality assurance and other pertinent services.

RITES Partners with NHAI for Road Safety Assessments

RITES Limited, a leading transport infrastructure consultancy and engineering firm, has partnered with the National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) to conduct comprehensive road safety assessments across India. This collaboration aims to enhance road safety, minimize accidents, and improve highway infrastructure through detailed analysis and implementation of effective safety measures.

Objective of the Partnership

The primary goal of this initiative is to assess and identify critical safety concerns along national highways and propose strategic solutions. With the increasing vehicular traffic and rising incidents of road accidents, NHAI has been proactively working towards enhancing safety measures, and RITES’ expertise in transport engineering and safety evaluations will significantly contribute to this mission.

Key Areas of Focus

1. Road Safety Audits – Conducting detailed safety audits of existing and newly constructed highways to identify potential hazards.
2. Accident Analysis & Risk Mitigation – Analyzing accident-prone areas (black spots) and recommending corrective measures such as improved signage, road realignment, and traffic control mechanisms.
4. Technology Integration – Leveraging AI-driven traffic monitoring systems, smart road designs, and real-time data analysis for better safety planning.
5. Capacity Building – Conducting training and awareness programs for road engineers, enforcement agencies, and highway users to promote a safety-first approach.
6. Implementation of Best Practices – Adopting global road safety best practices and aligning them with India’s traffic conditions and infrastructure challenges.

Significance of the Collaboration

• Reduction in Road Accidents: By identifying and addressing high-risk areas, the initiative aims to reduce the number of road fatalities and injuries.
• Enhanced Road Infrastructure: Improved road designs, better lane management, and enhanced visibility will contribute to safer highways.
• Sustainable Transportation: Encouraging the development of pedestrian-friendly and cyclist-friendly road infrastructure to ensure the safety of all commuters.
• Policy Recommendations: The assessments will help in framing data-backed recommendations for government policies on road safety.

Future Roadmap

RITES and NHAI will work closely to continuously monitor, evaluate, and upgrade safety measures based on periodic assessments. The findings from the partnership will also aid in shaping future infrastructure projects with a heightened focus on safety.
