Safe and secure transport corridors in India (SSTCI)

Important results from the project

The project developed data loggers and methods for data collection and analysis of Indian traffic. This resulted in a database of collected driving data from buses in India. In the project, the Swedish industrial and academic partners have developed data loggers for data collection in buses in India. An analysis of collected pilot data was carried out by RISE and VTI together with Autoliv. The collaboration between Swedish industrial and academic partners has been developed and strengthened.

Expected long term effects

The project has created a platform for data collection and analysis of Indian traffic data that can be used by Swedish and Indian partners. The project also developed methods for studying fatigue in studied drivers.

Approach and implementation

The project has developed a scalable and reusable methodology for data collection and analysis, which has been refined and installed in buses in real traffic in India. The platform collects data on road user behavior from a few selected traffic corridors. The data has been used to understand the suitability of different safety and efficiency solutions. The project has placed great emphasis on ethical review and protection of personal data of the drivers involved.
