24 Transforming India’s Transport Sector Key initiatives in 2014 -2018

Over the past four years, various smart initiatives on Indian National Highways have resulted in transparent processes, last mile connectivity, safer roads, upskilling, new opportunities and employment for the people.

Motor Vehicle (Amendment) E Toll - FASTag to enhance Bill 2017: To bring transparency, e¥ciency, and reduce long reduce corruption queues at Toll plazas

E-Rickshaws for last mile Exemption from the connectivity requirement of commercial licence for LMV and LCV drivers

Driving training schools in every 0.2%-15% decrease in road district for skill development accidents and fatalities till 2017

Road Safety Greater Compensation for Partnering with Annual Plan accident victims of upto NGOs to ensure Rs. 5 lakhs road safety

Green buses and electric vehicles have been introduced. Emission standards have been upgraded for vehicles. BS VI norms along with bio fuel B-100, flex-fuel E-85 or E-100 & ethanol ED-95, methanol M-15 or M-100 and methanol MD-95 have been standardised

15% methanol blending can result in the replacement of around 31.9 million tons of crude oil. With crude oil prices at USD 54 per barrel, the use of clean energy biofuels will reduce fuel costs resulting in significant savings. Compared to neat gasoline, M-15 reduces CO and HC emission by 40%. Biofuels will help in reducing vehicle pollution levels in India

25 Anti Lock Braking System Model Automated ensuring vehicle and Centres for checking passenger safety fitness of vehicles

Vehicle Fleet modernization Simplified forms for programme obtaining driving licences

Increasing Speed Limits from Taxi Policy Guidelines to 100 km/h to 120 km/h, at par ensure safe, secure and with the global practices a¨ordable journeys, while reducing congestion as well as pollution in cities

Indian Bridge Management System (IBMS), the world’s largest inventory of bridges, has been created for proper maintenance of these structures. Till date 1,72,519 bridges of all ages and structures have been inventoried across India,and assigned GPS based Location Numbers, Classification Numbers based on features, Structural Rating & Socio-Economic Rating numbers

789 black spots have been identified and assigned unique ID numbers. Guidelines have been prepared and notified for investigation and rectification of these road accident-prone black spots on National Highways. 265 spots have already been rectified

Rectification measures at 318 spots have been sanctioned and are in various stages of implementation. 139 spots are on State Government roads or with other agencies. Remaining 67 spots would be taken up separately or rectified as part of ongoing projects
