The government is developing a pilot project for database on roads that would provide information related to highways to users and administrators,
"A pilot road asset management system is being developed for National Highways," Minister of State for Road Transport and Highways Pon Radhakrishnan said in a written reply to Lok Sabha today.
It will help to build a sustainable road asset management system (RAMS) for national highways by having a comprehensive road database for NHs.
The database will be supported by analytical tools to be used by both National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) and Ministry of Road Transport and Highways.
"The RAMS, equipped with GIS capacity will provide information to road administrators and users on various attributes of the road network," Radhakrishnan added.
