IIT Mandi develop Smart Road Monitoring System to prevent accidents and enhance traffic management

The IIT Mandi team includes students from multiple disciplines including Mechanical Engineering, Electrical Engineering, and Civil Engineering along with a Faculty Coordinator.

Students and Faculty Innovators from the Indian Institute of Technology, IIT Mandi have developed a Smart Road Monitoring System to prevent accidents caused at sharp/ blind turns, causing fatalities and injuries, and enhanced traffic management. With a surge in increased traffic, the manual interface becomes a challenge to control and prevent road accidents, and traffic management especially in the hilly terrains. Traffic Police intervention, convex mirrors installation, and other techniques, though helpful in these situations, become difficult to manage in severe and extreme conditions like rainfall, snow, foggy weather, and a high number of sharp curves.
