NHEV collaborates with UNL for Agra-Jaipur-Delhi-Jaipur E-Highway

10 Jul 2022 CW Team

By geofencing the Jaipur-Delhi-Agra E-Highway, electric vehicles would be able to travel the route using a theft-proof relay model. In order to allow tourists to rent vehicles without drivers, a similar concept is in place in Goa and numerous other European nations.

Similar to this, travellers using electric vehicles on the Jaipur-Delhi-Agra E-Highway would be able to take advantage of the facility.

In order to make the highways theft-proof and subject to round-the-clock breakdown service surveillance, National Highways for EV (NHEV) has partnered with a number of geospatial technology companies. Work on geofencing has already started. In order to participate in the pilot project to finish and geofence the E-Highway, UNL Global worked with NHEV. By the end of the year, it expects to already have finished the project and added a cutting-edge EV-ready infrastructure for the expressway's increasing number of electric vehicles.

The Internet of Places is being built by the cutting-edge smart microlocation and mapping platform UNL. Businesses may easily create Virtual Private Maps with UNL's help, and they can use data, location, and mapping tools to develop highly scalable location-based applications.
