India’s first C‑ITS project deployed near New Delhi
Kapsch TrafficCom has delivered India’s first Intelligent Transport Systems (C‑ITS) project on a highway near New Delhi.
Implemented together with Superwave Communication And Infrasolution Limited (SCAIL), the project will demonstrate how real-time connectivity and AI-powered situational awareness can improve road safety and traffic efficiency on one of India’s key highway corridors.
Designed around road user protection, with a focus on high‑risk and dynamic situations such as temporary work zones, the pilot will enable drivers to receive direct warnings about roadworks, maintenance vehicles, hazardous locations, traffic queues, and temporary virtual signage directly into their vehicles.
These metrics and warnings will grant drivers the ability to anticipate situations well in advance and adapt their driving accordingly, making the road safer for all.
To further enhance on-road awareness, selected locations along the corridor will be equipped with AI‑enabled video sensors by Kapsch TrafficCom.
The system analyses traffic conditions in real time and detects safety‑critical events, such as stopped vehicles, emerging congestion, or the presence of road workers, enabling both proactive traffic management and faster operator response. All connected services will also be accessible via the Kapsch TrafficAssist mobile app, ensuring that safety information reaches drivers directly.
Kapsch TrafficCom EVP EMEA, Carolin Treichl, said: “This project shows how connected vehicle technology can make a tangible difference for road users, making travel safer, smoother, and more predictable.
“India is taking a leading role in deploying next‑generation highway technology, joining the ranks of countries such as Germany, Australia, and the United States in shaping the future of connected mobility.”
