Satellites, drones to monitor road construction pace: Gadkari
New Delhi, Oct 1, 2015, (PTI)

The government has decided to use ISRO-aided satellites and drones to monitor its highways construction programme, aimed at fast-tracking building of roads in the country.
"To ensure proper implementation of highways construction programmes as well as tree plantation drive, we have decided to deploy satellites and drones," Road Transport and Highways Minister Nitin Gadkari said.

A pact with ISRO will be inked soon in this connection, he said at the inaugural ceremony of the National Workshop on Road Asset Management System (RAMS) for National Highways.

Emphasising the need for a modern, digitalised asset management system for roads, Gadkari said that RAMS that is being developed for all National Highways in the country, is a modern management system that will use GAGAN and BHUVAN satellite systems to prepare a 360 degree mapping of road assets.

"This will greatly facilitate timely repair of roads, formulation of Detailed Project Reports and such other works," he said.

NHAI Chairman, Raghav Chandra said that RAMS is the need of the hour for effective planning, construction, maintenance and financial management of Highways.

National Highways Authority of India will sign MoU with ISRO for adoption of best technologies, he said adding the "GAGAN (GPS aided Geo Augmented Navigation) will be extremely useful for ensuring that our assets are properly mapped and shared with all the stakeholders and also it can be used to assess the roads constructed as per the design."

RAMS is being developed for the entire National Highways network in India bringing both public funded and private funded roads under one umbrella.

The outcome of this project, which is funded by the World Bank, will assist in the accurate and scientific planning and finalising of road projects, maintenance of roads, executing road safety measures and development of the National Highways network in India.

"RAMS is being developed using the international best practises. The software has functionality to interface with the indigenous Bhuvan satellite images. The data collected will be stored and managed through a web based application which will be hosted in the public domain," the statement said.

Information collected from this project will be useful for Transport Ministry, Finance Ministry, NHAI, State PWDs, Police Departments, Funding agencies, Developers and Citizens. The one day workshop is discussing RAMS technical details and monitoring concessionaires obligations through RAMS, it added.

World Bank Country Director Onino Rulh said the world-class modern management system developed by India would be an effective tool to monitor the projects.

Excellent use of satellite resources. I hope this will be extended to city planning and curbing of illegal activities too as the govt. had proposed.

I'll give him a credit once all the strategic roads along the Chinese Border is completed... Untill then A Big NO

That is the real difference between our Govt and Govt of other counteies....They are proud that they were able to manufucture armed drone before us to bomb their own people and here we are proud that we can use the drone tech to keep us updated with speed of development in ground....

 

[Srinivas]

I think the revised target is to build 30 KM of National Highways per day !!

I think the revised target is to build 30 KM of National Highways per day !!

This is ESSENTIAL! So much time has been lost under UPA-2, by the time they left office the daily output was around 3-4 KM a day! Utterly shameful.

This is ESSENTIAL! So much time has been lost under UPA-2, by the time they left office the daily output was around 3-4 KM a day! Utterly shameful.

During the second term of UPA, the economy slowed considerably because of various factors.

He's just a fat-*** and a chatterbox.They are building less Km's/day then UPA!

Regulatory safety net being set up to check drones
New Delhi, Oct 04, 2015, DHNS

India is putting a new prior-approval mechanism in place to check unregulated flying of unmanned aerial aircraft, because of their potential to be misused by terrorists.

“It is a cause for worry for every nation, including India, as they can penetrate our air defence. We need to have regulations for which we are working with the ministries of defence, home and civil aviation,” Indian Air Force chief Air Chief Marshal Arup Raha said here.

A regulatory safety net is being set up by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation in consultation with the Defence and Home ministries under which anybody undertaking those activities would have to inform the district administration and the IAF, which guards the country’s air defence.

“Unregulated flying of drones is a security threat. The new mechanism to check these activities will be operational in a year’s time,” Raha said.

Once the new system is in place, anybody planning to fly a drone have to first inform the district administration, which, in turn, would communicate to the IAF and local police informing them about the flying schedule and purpose.

“Everybody would need sanctions without which one cannot fly. The rules would be issued by the DGCA,” he noted.

Last year, the civil aviation regulator disallowed use of Unmanned Aircraft System (UAS) by non-governmental agencies and individuals till the time it formulates rules. The regulator said these aircraft posed safety and security threat.

“The airspace over cities in India has high density of manned aircraft traffic. Due to lack of regulation, operating procedures and standards and uncertainty of the technology, UAS poses threat for air collisions and accidents,” it said in a circular issued in October 2014.

An aviation official said the DGCA was aware of unauthorised use of drones and apprehend that there could be untoward incident if the practice was not curbed. “We have warned people against the practice. They need to have permission to use UAS,” he said.

In the US, unmanned aircraft are flying under extremely controlled conditions, performing border and port surveillance by the Department of Homeland Security, helping with scientific research and environmental monitoring by scientific agencies besides supporting public safety by law enforcement agencies.

While manufacturing of drones in India is legally permitted with proper defence licence for military applications, the DGCA order had put all civil applications on hold till the regulations for certification and operation for use of UAV are formulated. Besides the military, paramilitary organisations like CRPF also uses drones for its anti-Maoist operations.
