Extract :
Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT-Madras) is collaborating with
Renault Nissan Technology and Business Centre India Pvt Ltd (RNTBCI) to reduce road accidents fatalities in
Chennai and neighbouring districts through two projects. This initiative is
aligned with the United Nations Sustainable Development Goal (SDG). An MoU for
this was signed on Saturday.
The Connected
Intelligent Urban Transportation lab at IIT Madras will develop innovative, technology and data-driven solutions to
improve road safety, says a press release from the institute.
Kapil Saratkar, Additional Commissioner of Police, Chennai City Traffic
Police, at the event said that around 4,500 traffic police are deployed by
Tamil Nadu Police to manage the traffic in the city. However, there is a manpower shortage and these policemen
have to face several difficulties in managing the traffic in the city. The
Police Department requests the students of IIT Madras to
provide simple and innovative solutions to address the
problems faced by the department in managing the traffic in the city.
A
year-long hackathon named ‘Hackcidents’
will be conducted and the best ideas on Road Safety and Accident Prevention will be
implemented. Centre For Innovation,
a voluntary student body at IIT Madras, will conduct the hackathon, the release
said.
The project proposes the use of sensors and data collection techniques for better
understanding the root causes leading to bus accidents and propose innovative ways to significantly reduce
them, the release said.
