Project

Safe and secure transport corridors in India

Period
1 January 2022–31 March 2024
Project manager
Sofie Vennersten

Safe and secure transport corridors in India is the first SITIS Project (SSTCI, https://www.sibc.se/sitis-0).

The aim of the project is to gather an in-depth understanding of road user behavior in the context of intercity bus transport in India, and to identify what solutions might be needed to improve safety, security and efficiency.

This will be done by collecting and analyzing various data related to behavior of different road users (e.g., coach drivers, passengers, pedestrians) as well as security (e.g., cyber-security, robberies, theft, vandalism, assault) and efficiency (e.g., traffic flow, incident handling, fleet maintenance, rescue time).

The insights from the analysis will be used to determine what solutions may improve safety, security and efficiency.
