Smart road-signs. AI-assisted safety on the speedways

As the government explores ways to achieve its goal of halving road accident fatalities by 2030, an emerging solution is the use of artificial intelligence (AI) technology for effective monitoring of traffic patterns and smart road signages to guide motorists.

The National Highways Authority of India recently signed a memorandum of understanding with Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology (IIIT), Delhi, for a project involving the use of AI to enhance the number and quality of highway road-signs for improved safety and real-time traffic management.
