Bangalore:The decline in accidents is attributed to the installation of an Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) on Bengaluru-Mysuru expressway.
The Bengaluru-Mysuru Expressway, which earlier made headlines for the increasing number of fatal accidents, saw a sharp decline in such incidents in 2024. The fatal accidents have reduced to more than 50 percent compared with the previous year’s data. The decline in accidents is attributed to the installation of an Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) on the fully accessible highway.
To a question by an MP in the Lok Sabha, Union Minister of Roads, Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari replied that the objective of ATMS was to reduce accidents, traffic violations and incident response time. “Government plans to implement the ATMS solution in Highways and Expressways in phased manner,” Mr Gadkari said.
