National Highway Authority of India currently is planning to build a citizen facing interface which can cater to all highway related needs of NH commuters. NHAI already has an Android mobile application called Sukhaad Yatra (https://play.google.com/store/apps/details?id=com.rsawh.nhia&hl=en_IN&gl=US) which needs to be upgraded and advanced further.

Citizens are invited to share their ideas on how the Sukhad Yatra app can be improved with additional features/ integrations to better service the needs of citizens. The end outcome is to improve the experience of NH commuters and build a robust medium of 2-way communication.

The tool will not be limited to but can cover the following areas:
● Informing users of construction and maintenance activities
● Allowing users to register complaints pertaining to the condition of the highway or highway activities such as toll (for eg. If wait times for a toll gate are too long or if FasTag is not working at a gate)
● Allow users to rate highways on various characteristics of the highway around their experience as a rider (on both negative and positive characteristics of experience, for example whether the NH offers a scenic route or view)
● Allow user to access emergency and first response services on the highway
● Allow users to access information on wayside amenities, petrol pumps, EV stations etc. Information about location of facilities along the route can be searched on Google Maps but this is hard to access for non smartphone users.
● Allow users to report traffic congestion, accidents, debris, toll-relates issues, request EV charging points etc to local command centres (Eg. Waze)
● The interface should be able to cater to user-needs of commuters with and without smartphones
● The interface should have a strong focus on UX, intuitive and centred around the day-to-day needs and experience of highway users.

The interface can also operate as a platform through which multiple existing private and public applications can link to such as NH’s toll free number, toll management system etc or travel related apps (MapMyIndia, Google Maps etc) which already have a high user-base. The platform should leverage strengths of existing IT applications and not reinvent where necessary.

The design should cater to all kinds of NH users such as:
● Commercial (trucking etc) who may or may not have a smartphone and a user design which caters to their needs
● Personal long-distance commuter which may not be as frequent but may have access to smartphones
● Local residents who live around the highways and use it more frequently than private long distance commuters

Submissions to this can be in the form of app mock-ups/ prototypes, presentations, concept notes on platform and other interfaces, list of desired features by commuters etc.

Tha last date of submission of ideas is 15th June 2022.

The responsibilities and duties of NHAI shall be reiterated. NHAI seems to be too focused on the construction of new highways. The maintenance of highways has taken the back seat. In this situation, it is suggested to bifurcate the NHAI into two verticals. 1) National Highways Construction Corporation Ltd. (NHCCL) With the main objective of construction of new highways. 2) National Highways Maintenance Corporation Ltd. (NHMCL) With the main objective of Operations and Maintenance of the highways. The completed highways by NHCCL shall be taken over by NHMCL which shall take over the responsibilities of O&M of highways. This shall perhaps improve the conditions of highways in India.

There should be a proper sign boards where wild animals cross the National Highway. In some areas it is not visible. Due to this some wild animals and dogs are hit by speeding vehicles. An awareness among the drivers on drunk and drive should be made. Due to long drive and not taking adequate rest they consume liquor and drive causing accident. Rash driving among youngsters is also a major problem. An awareness among college students should be done in colleges.

Dear modi ji National Highways are very important for transportation of goods across the lengths and breadths of India. Their advantages include high speed, greater safety, comfort and convenience for drivers and passengers, and lower vehicle operating costs. Here are some ideas as follows 1. Highway road should be striaght 2. When ever there is a curve caution board should be displaced and COVEX mIRROR also should be placed 3. On either side of roads , Green Plants , Tress, Flower Plants should be planted to conserve nature 4. Call of POLICe ie police stations sholuld be on the highway road 5. track the high speed vehicles in those zones and alert the vehicle at real time. 6. Use beacon technology 7. Relax zones should be created where Senior citizens, Pregnant women, and Physically Challenged 8. PARKING zones also created 9. Parking BAY for heavy loads lile lorry, bus 10. For women safety, they should be able to make NHAI track them

Having beautiful and wider Highways not prevents the accidents. Something we need figure it out to avoid accidents by implementing the new aged technologies like Machine Learning, Data Science, and Artificial intelligence etc. if we observe most of accidents 70/100 happen at same place. If government limit the the speed at that accident zones can stop 90% of accidents. we must track the high speed vehicles in those zines and alert the vehicle at real time. keeping more speed brakers (in and out) is also good at zones.

Multilevel parkings of LMVs and Open yard parkings of trailer trucks need to be captured in the system. Park & Ride Bus terminals and Railway stations are to be captured in the system.

On road's carriageway white border lines are marked; beyond these lines i.e on the shoulder part of roads nowadays vehicles are being parked as a result pedestrians bound to walk on vehicle carriageway which leads to traffic congestion or accidents. Can we stop such parkings where we do not have pedestrian walkways (footpaths). Pedestrians gets first priority on road, this is being taught by driving schools in developed countries. There are many such examples which I come across from old movies, people stand in queues to board a bus in bus stops, bus conductor restricts people boarding the bus to avoid standing travel, Buses are designed with doors to avoid footboard travel, streets without encroachments, scooters are parked inside the house using portable wooden ramps, more importantly people speak with respect hanji, nahiji, heyboy jarah dekke chelo etc., I think lack of proportionate development in infrastructure is the main cause of many issues today we are facing.
