NHAI Partners with IIIT Delhi to Enhance Highway Road Signs Using AI

State-owned NHAI has signed an agreement with IIIT Delhi to use artificial intelligence for improving road signs on National Highways. IIIT Delhi will collect data through surveys and use AI to analyze and classify road signs. The initiative aims to enhance road safety across 25,000 km of highways.

In a significant move to boost road safety, state-owned NHAI announced on Thursday its collaboration with Indraprastha Institute of Information Technology (IIIT Delhi) to leverage artificial intelligence (AI) for improving road signs on National Highways.

This agreement, formalized through a memorandum of understanding, entails IIIT Delhi conducting extensive surveys to gather imagery, data, and the condition of road signages along selected national highway stretches. The collected data will then be processed using AI for precise identification and classification of road signs, as stated in an official release.

Covering a tentative length of approximately 25,000 km, the project aims to harness the potential of AI and Geographic Information Systems (GIS) to enhance the safety of National Highway users through innovative and advanced technological solutions.
