Odisha and IIT-Madras Partner for Road Safety Dashboard
Imagine a smart tool being built to make roads safer in Odisha.
The government is working with IIT-Madras to create a real-time dashboard, like a live map, showing what's happening on the roads.
It will help people understand road safety better and make sure help arrives faster after accidents.
People can report accidents and even nominate local heroes.
The dashboard will connect with other systems to make everything work together smoothly.
This project is all about making roads safer for everyone in Odisha, using technology and teamwork.
Odisha government and IIT-Madras are developing a real-time road safety dashboard.
The dashboard aims to increase public awareness, promote traffic discipline, and improve emergency response.
It integrates with existing systems like ERSS and eDAR-CCTNS.
The citizen-centric module 'Sahayaka' allows reporting accidents and nominating 'Raahveers'.
The initiative seeks to unify existing road safety efforts and make Odisha's roads safer.
