The Centre of Excellence for Road Safety (CoERS) is organising a day-long National Scientific Road Safety Conclave on Tuesday, 11 October 2022 at the IIT Madras Campus. This workshop aims to bring together experts from all stakeholders of road safety such as Policy Makers, Enforcement Agencies, Manufacturers, Researchers, Insurance Companies and more to share their knowledge and experience and to showcase the advancements made in the field of in-depth study of road accidents.
As part of the event, a Geospatial Information Repository (GIRe) that has been developed by this Centre will be launched. The GIRe road survey module will have a structured data collection of road user violations, road furniture and status of road safety at the hotspots. This module will empower the enforcement officers to guide data-driven interventions at the hotspots to improve road safety in their district. The information received in the portal will be alerted to the concerned owner of the road stretch. Once the work is attended to the complaint will be closed by the owner. In case of accidents, the jurisdictional police will be alerted.
We will also be sharing of mockup kiosk for a new driver licensing process that we are processing called as 3 Gate Licencing (3GL). This 3GL process includes testing for driver knowledge and physiological fitness to drive at Gate 1, simulator-based evaluation at Gate 2 and on-road evaluation at Gate 3. The testing framework of 3GL provides an objective way of measuring driver behaviour, their knowledge of road safety and driving etiquette to practice the learnt theory in a simulator and on-road driving conditions before getting a valid driving licence.
We will also be launching a Train the Trainer (ToT) programme for school bus drivers to promote safe driving.
