Journey Risk Management (JRM)™

Journey Risk Management (JRM)™ is an innovative evolution through research,
developed by the Centre for Analysis and Research (CARRS) at IRTE towards
55000 kms
58000 KMS
understanding the deficiencies in the road environment and their interactions
with road user towards creating a pre-journey advisory for drivers, undertaking
highway journeys. The aim of JRM is to make journeys safer and accident free.
JRM entails a scientific road safety audit of the road environment through camera
based recording of potential risk areas including black spots as well as all types of
services and facilities. This helps the driver to undertake the journey in a most
defensive manner through mitigating the risks informed under the programme.
The JRM also provide all information of assistance as well as emergency
services available on the highways which eventually builds the confidence of the
driver.
A special mobile research laboratory, Survey Vehicle which is a customized and
equipped with multi cameras, laser based speed measurement and recording
devices is operated by a joint team of traffic engineers, accident analysts, and
camera man to undertake the JRM.
IRTE has completed JRM of over 58,000 kms of Indian National and State
Highways during the last nine years.

Innovations & Research

Interceptor™

Initiated in 1995, IRTE developed the state of the art traffic enforcement
technology vehicle called “Interceptor”, a trademark of the IRTE. This technology
was recognized by the Government of India at the National Republic Day
Parades both in 1996 and again in 2001.

Designed for practical use by police in capturing video based moving violations
including speeds of vehicles, the Interceptor is a comprehensive enforcement
and education system. The system comprises of suitably customised vehicle
platform, enforcement equipment with software and hardware, complimented
with data analysis centre. The Interceptor has been visualized and developed
keeping multiple objectives in mind, namely:
Ÿ Evidence Based Traffic Law Enforcement
Ÿ Enforcement on a Mobile Platform
Ÿ Road and Infrastructure Surveys
Ÿ Deterrent for violators
Ÿ Road Safety Audit
Ÿ The updated and advanced version of the interceptor V9 was unveiled in
2019.

CrashLab™

CrashLab is a technological innovation of the IRTE in-house research wing.
CrashLab features high resolution recording systems, which can be elevated in
order to capture critical shots of the collision from a strategically high view angle.
The vehicle is also features Laser based speed measurement device amongst
other hardware and software's. CrashLab is also designed to use the latest
Global Positioning System (GPS), for ascertaining the true location of the
collision scene and creating digital maps of road stretches. This CrashLab™ has
revolutionized the basis of scientific collision investigation in the country and to
support the police and other investigating authorities in determining factual
causes and consequences of such collisions
