NHAI Pilots Real-Time Alerts for Stray Cattle on JaipurAgra and JaipurRewari Highways

Officials will gauge results before considering a wider rollout.

Overview

  • Location-based warnings trigger about 10 km before mapped high-risk stretches identified through accident data and field inputs.
  • Motorists first receive a Flash SMS in Hindi followed by a voice alert advising reduced speed due to stray cattle ahead.
  • A 30-minute no-repeat window limits duplicate notifications to curb alert fatigue.
  • Reliance Jio upgraded its platform after a December MoU with NHAI to enable delivery over upgraded telecom infrastructure.
  • Launched during Road Safety Month 2026, the pilot targets collisions that spike in fog and low visibility, with performance under active review.
