Gadkari unveils Surakshit Safar initiative, target to reduce accidents by 50 per cent

Greater Noida (Uttar Pradesh) [India], January 13 (ANI): Union Minister of Road Transport and Highways Nitin Gadkari on Thursday unveiled 'Surakshit Safar', an initiative by the Society of Indian Automobile Manufacturers (SIAM) in association with Rosmerta Technologies Limited.
The end-to-end mobility solutions showcased in the Surakshit Safar pavilion by Rosmerta varied from production and commercial stage to eco-friendly scrapping. Credited to launch the very first Automated Testing Centre (ATS) in India, Rosmerta staged the established ATS model on the floor showcasing an automated inspection design integrating the test equipment as a holistic digital road safety solution along with specialized vehicle test lane management software for vehicle fitness certification, without human intervention. This model is already executed in 9 states.
Apart from this, Rosmerta Automatic Driving Test Track (ADTT) was another interactive mobility solution to evaluate driving skills based on video analytics and sensors-based technology. It is an end-to-end automated solution based on image processing in real-time for reliable and high-accuracy results, without any human intervention. The driving skills of the applicants were evaluated on-site with respect to kerb hit (vehicle moving out of track), a number of forward, reverse and stoppage, wrong direction as well as the duration of the test, flashing the results in real-time on the display screen.
Rosmerta plays a pivotal role in simplifying compliance requirements through digitized journeys of more than 100,000 vehicle registrations on behalf of the end customer in 28 states and union territories in India. The Pollution Under Control (PUC) station at Surakshit Safar pavilion displayed LIVE PUC testing and certification by direct communication with the equipment without any interference from the operator to mitigate the fake emission data. The web-based application developed by the company for pollution control checks enables seamless vehicle testing and data syncing on the VAHAN portal with quick access to important PUC information and vehicle details.
Sensorise, a group company of Rosmerta also displayed its IoT/M2M connectivity solutions for connected cars and EVs. As market leaders and pioneers of eSIM technology in India, Sensorise offers intelligent and secure multi-profile M2M SIMs with automatic network switching capabilities and a unique proposition of remotely downloading any local/roaming telco profile on the same eSIM worldwide.
Rosmerta also forays into Microdots Technology for Whole Vehicle Marking, enabling theft protection, part identification and traceability to limit the use of spurious automotive parts.
Karn Nagpal, President, of Rosmerta Technologies said, "Keeping with our company ethos, we remain committed to Surakshit Safar and will continue to invest in road safety programs such as automated testing stations to ensure vehicle safety and automated driving test tracks for driver safety with the implementation of sensor and video analytics-based tracks."
"Our widely demonstrated range of automotive solutions are indigenously designed to make the driving experience safer on Indian roads with end-to-end mobility solutions for a complete vehicle lifecycle. Rosmerta's contribution to road safety takes the next leap with eSIM technology for telematics ensuring V2X communications for integrated transport solutions and customer delight," he added.
Kartick Nagpal, President, of Rosmerta Technologies Ltd on company's contribution to road safety said, "Rosmerta's role in simplifying compliance requirements contributing to road safety goes at length with standardized HSRP and smart card based VRC and DL, closely coupling the identities of vehicles and drivers for compliance and easier enforcement.
As a market leader in the HSRP segment, Rosmerta paves the path to seamless implementation of other innovative solutions like FastTags, Automatic challan and tolls. In extension to our road safety services like Automated Testing Stations (ATS) for vehicle fitness certification, we also ensure vehicle safety & driver safety with the implementation of sensor and video analytics-based Automated Driving Test Track (ADTT).
Rosmerta's contribution to emission compliance with Diesel Exhaustive Fluid (DEF) for BS IV and BS VI upgraded vehicles to meet ISO-22241/ VDA Standards is another initiative reinstating the company's vision of delivering a compliant quality product for vehicles. (ANI)
