The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) plans to deploy and upgrade advanced traffic management systems (ATMS) infrastructure across 1,205 km of national highways in the Delhi-NCR region. The project aims to create a technology-driven National Highway ecosystem to enable real-time traffic monitoring, faster incident management, improved enforcement and seamless commuter information dissemination. NHAI presented the initiative as intended to support data-driven decision-making and enhance safety for highway users. The ATMS ecosystem will include traffic monitoring camera systems (TMCS) for round-the-clock surveillance and video incident detection and enforcement systems (VIDES) to identify traffic violations and incidents. It will also comprise vehicle actuated speed displays (VASD) to provide real-time driver alerts, variable message signboards (VMS) for dissemination of traffic and safety information, and a high-speed optical fibre cable (OFC)-based communication backbone. Integration with the e-Challan platform will enable digital enforcement of traffic violations. Initially, NHAI will deliver full-scale implementation of all ATMS components on around 408 km of National Highway stretches, while about 797 km of existing ATMS-enabled corridors will be upgraded with VIDES to strengthen monitoring and enforcement capabilities. The project covers important National Highway corridors across Delhi-NCR and adjoining regions, including Rewari, Mathura, Ghaziabad, Meerut, Dwarka, Baghpat and Bhiwani. Key corridors identified include Delhi-Gurgaon-Kotputli NH-48, the Delhi-Meerut Expressway NE-3 and Delhi-Saharanpur NH-709B, alongside several Western Uttar Pradesh and Haryana routes. The deployment will leverage Artificial Intelligence (AI), advanced analytics and integrated command-and-control centres to enhance operational efficiency. A multi-tier Command and Control Centre (CCC) architecture will comprise local, regional and national centres, with a Regional ATMS Command and Control Centre to be established at Sohna to act as a zonal hub for corridor-level monitoring and incident response coordination. Local ATMS control centres will be located at intervals of about 75–100 km and the infrastructure will be integrated with the NHAI Data Lake, the Rajmargyatra Mobile App and the National Highway Helpline 1033 to enable centralised data aggregation and improved commuter services.
