GHMC Launches Smart App for Road Safety and Repair Management
The city of Hyderabad has a new app to help fix its roads.
Imagine the city's road workers have a special phone app.
When they see a problem like a pothole, a broken cover over a drain, or an open electrical box on the sidewalk, they can use the app to take a picture.
This picture automatically knows where it was taken, like a digital tag.
This helps the city bosses see exactly where the problems are and fix them faster.
It's like a digital checklist for keeping the roads safe and smooth for everyone to use.
GHMC has launched a new app called 'Periodic Public Safety Inspection App' for road safety.
The app uses ArcGIS Field Maps technology to allow field engineers to record and report road issues.
Engineers can capture geo-tagged photos of problems like potholes, open manholes, and improper barricading.
Key features include real-time tracking, faster inspections, transparent reporting, and evidence-based monitoring.
This initiative aims to digitize field inspections for safer and smarter urban mobility.
