IIT Jodhpur Develops New System to Combat Traffic Jams and Improve Road Safety

The IIT Jodhpur has developed an advanced technology named NoMAS, to decrease traffic jams and road accidents. This innovation from the computer science and engineering department focuses on improving vehicle safety and intelligence while tackling various issues on Indian roads. Check details here 

IIT Jodhpur Develops New System to Combat Traffic Jams

IIT Jodhpur has developed a new technology, the Novel MAC-based Authentication Scheme (NoMAS) that aims to reduce traffic congestion and road accidents. Developed by the IIT Jodhpur's computer science and engineering department, NoMAS focuses on improving vehicle security and intelligence, as well as addressing various challenges found on Indian roads. This technology is the solution to enhance the security and the efficiency of the Internet of Vehicles.

The team of researchers have also developed a driver recommendation system using federated learning, designed for future transportation needs. This system's key characteristic is its capability to assess a driver's stress level by examining their driving behavior.

As per PTI report, it can contribute to road safety by enabling a secure and real-time exchange of data on road conditions, accidents, and traffic jams among vehicles. This information can help drivers make informed decisions and avoid hazards, according to a professor associated with the technology's development. 

The information gathered and disseminated via the Internet of Vehicles network can be utilized to pinpoint areas prone to accidents, detect patterns of hazardous driving, or identify roads needing enhancement. This analysis enables authorities to proactively implement measures to tackle these issues.

Debasis Das, an associate professor in the computer science and engineering department states, "With this technology, we have strived to address critical challenges in data protection, communication overhead, and security vulnerabilities." He added that NoMAS can also help protect vehicles from theft and unauthorised use.
