To this end Jace Sternberger Jersey , the new framework integrates Information Technology with computer-aided management systems. The ATMS is a subdomain of the Intelligent Transportation System (ITS). The ATMS employs a top-down management perspective that integrates equipment such as cameras and speed sensors, installed at various points along the road, with databases primarily to improve, ease, and organise the flux of traffic. The system gathers real-time data from those cameras and sensors, and relays it to a command centre for integration and processing. The processed data helps in providing any digital or physical services including incident management Elgton Jenkins Jersey , traffic routing, traffic-jam notifications, DMS messaging, etc.
The functions of ATMS includes: real-time traffic monitoring, dynamic message sign (DMS) monitoring and control, traffic camera monitoring and control Darnell Savage Jr. Jersey , traffic signal monitoring and control, active traffic management, arterial management, road weather information system, and many others.

With the IMS, it is possible for authorities to deploy help within 15 minutes of the incident in cases of emergencies.

The NHAI, in order to prevent any further casualties on the highways, through the IMS will position ambulances at every 50 km point on the stretch. The first phase of the ATMS (and IMS) has already been initiated in six States 鈥?Tamil Nadu Dexter Williams Packers Jersey , Rajasthan, Uttar Pradesh, Haryana, Gujarat, and Maharashtra 鈥?and also in the National Capital.
