The Standing Committee on Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS) has been constituted to design and standardize a unified national architecture for intelligent traffic systems in India. This initiative aims to convert India’s road networks into smart, adaptive corridors that leverage IoT, real-time data, and predictive analytics to enhance safety and efficiency. The committee is analyzing existing ATMS deployments across Indian cities and highways to identify gaps, especially in areas like system interoperability, scalability, and cost-effectiveness. In alignment with national infrastructure programs such as Bharatmala and the Smart Cities Mission, the committee is working toward the development of comprehensive technical standards, system integration protocols, and performance benchmarks. It is also exploring sustainable funding models, including public-private partnerships (PPP) and international financing, to ensure the long-term scalability of ATMS solutions. Through its work, the committee is expected to lay the foundation for smarter, safer, and more responsive road networks across the country.
