IndiaRAP’s first NHAI project Star Rating 2,400 carriageway km of national highways across 3 states is underway in a bid to address escalating road deaths and injuries in recent years.
The project will assess 791 km of dual-carriageway highways in Uttar Pradesh, 188km in Tamil Nadu and 309km in Maharashtra, and identify safety treatments and Safer Roads Investment Plans (SRIP) to save lives.
IndiaRAP is working in partnership with the National Highway Authority of India (NHAI) Road Safety Cell and 9 Project Implementation Units (PIU), 3 survey teams working simultaneously across the states, and 2 Fornecedores credenciados iRAP (Indian Road Survey and Management Pvt. Ltd. and GeoVista Technologies Pvt. Ltd.)
The project, due for completion in February 2021, will involve:
- Road surveys and supporting data collection including traffic volume count, speed surveys and road crash data as available;
- The production of detailed reports for each road including assessment results and recommended safety treatments;
- Training workshops to share the findings and recommendations with NHAI; and
- Implementation support for the preparation of customized SRIPs and prioritized steps for action.
. A NHAI é uma agência autônoma do Governo da Índia, responsável pelo desenvolvimento, manutenção e gestão de uma rede de mais de 50.000 km de rodovias nacionais, de um total de 132.500 km na Índia. Embora as rodovias e vias expressas representem apenas cerca de 1,7% da extensão total das estradas na Índia, elas transportam cerca de 40% do tráfego rodoviário.
