The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways
(MoRTH) has partnered with IIT Madras and digital tech firm MapmyIndia to ink a
deal for driver and road safety technologies in the nation.
The three groups together rolled out a
free-to-use navigation app for citizens that renders road safety alerts
regarding forthcoming accident risks while on road. The navigation app service
renders voice and visual alerts to drivers about forthcoming sharp curves,
accident-prone zones, speed breakers and potholes, among other hazards. The
initiative is a part of the road transport ministry's concept to reduce
accidents and fatalities that happen due to road accidents in the nation.
