NHAI to provide real-time weather update to NH users during monsoon

The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) will provide real-time weather and traffic updates to national highway commuters by leveraging AI-based intelligent traffic management systems during monsoon to ensure seamless travel experience for highway users.

Besides, it will deploy drones to spot issues, maintain proper road slopes and identify and fix pavement cracks on national highways as part of the multi-pronged approach towards flood preparedness and to enable emergency response, wherever needed.

“In order to address the issue of water logging on National Highways during the monsoon season, NHAI is taking proactive measures for flood preparedness across the country,” the ministry of road transport and highways said in a statement issued on Monday.


As per the statement, NHAI has launched a 15-day drive wherein NHAI officials, contractors and consultants are inspecting various stretches of national highways to identify critical areas which are prone to damage or are likely to be affected with waterlogging or landslides to ensure free flow of water passage through structures like bridges and culverts on NHs.
