IIT Madras Creates Road Safety Dashboard
IIT Madras has created a special tool called the Integrated Road Safety Dashboard.
This tool helps governments and officials make roads safer by using data and technology.
It collects information from different places and shows it in a way that helps leaders see where there are problems and how to fix them.
The Odisha government is already using this tool to make their roads safer.
The tool was made by a team at IIT Madras that works on solving problems that help people and make things better.
This tool is a big step in using technology to make important decisions about road safety.
IIT Madras developed an Integrated Road Safety Dashboard to strengthen road safety governance.
The dashboard integrates data from multiple departments for real-time analytics and actionable insights.
It empowers leadership to identify risk areas, assign responsibility, and measure impact.
The Odisha government has adopted the dashboard during Road Safety Month 2026.
The tool was developed by the Rehabilitation Bioengineering Group (RBG Labs) at IIT Madras.
