India Advances Connected Mobility with First Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems Deployment by Kapsch TrafficCom

(IN BRIEF) Kapsch TrafficCom is launching India’s first Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems project on a key highway corridor near New Delhi in partnership with Superwave Communication And Infrasolution Limited. The project will use connected vehicle technology, AI-enabled video sensors and real-time driver alerts to improve road safety and traffic efficiency, particularly in high-risk situations such as temporary work zones, roadworks, hazardous locations and traffic queues. Safety information will be delivered directly to vehicles and through the Kapsch TrafficAssist mobile app, enabling drivers without built-in connected systems to receive critical alerts. The project will also include training for Indian engineers and operators in C-ITS configuration, AI-based traffic analytics and operational workflows tailored to Indian highway conditions. With completion targeted over the next six months, the initiative positions India among countries advancing next-generation connected mobility while supporting Kapsch TrafficCom’s strategic expansion in the Indian transport technology market.

(PRESS RELEASE) VIENNA, 27-May-2026 — /EuropaWire/ — Kapsch TrafficCom is bringing connected vehicle technology to India through the country’s first Cooperative Intelligent Transport Systems project on a key highway corridor near New Delhi, marking a major step in the development of safer and more efficient road mobility.

The landmark C-ITS deployment is being carried out together with Superwave Communication And Infrasolution Limited, also known as SCAIL. The project will demonstrate how real-time connectivity, AI-supported traffic analysis and direct driver alerts can improve road safety and traffic flow on one of India’s important expressway routes.

The project is designed to introduce a new generation of connected highway technology to Indian road users. Through C-ITS services, drivers will receive timely warnings about roadworks, maintenance vehicles, hazardous locations, traffic queues and temporary virtual signage directly in their vehicles. These alerts are intended to help drivers anticipate changing conditions earlier and adapt their driving before risks develop.

Carolin Treichl, EVP EMEA at Kapsch TrafficCom, said the project shows how connected vehicle technology can deliver practical benefits for road users by making travel safer, smoother and more predictable. She noted that India is joining countries such as Germany, Australia and the United States in shaping the future of connected mobility.

Anshuman Singh, Founder and Managing Director of Superwave Communication And Infrasolution Limited, said the collaboration reflects a shared vision to support India’s transport infrastructure modernisation and improve road safety through advanced connected technologies.

Delivery of the project is beginning immediately, with completion targeted over the next six months. The pilot has been developed with a strong focus on road user protection, particularly in high-risk and dynamic situations such as temporary work zones.

To strengthen situational awareness along the corridor, Kapsch TrafficCom will equip selected locations with AI-enabled video sensors. These sensors will analyse traffic conditions in real time and detect safety-critical events, including stopped vehicles, emerging congestion and the presence of road workers. The system is designed to support proactive traffic management and help operators respond more quickly to potential hazards.

The connected services will also be available through the Kapsch TrafficAssist mobile app, allowing safety information to reach drivers even when their vehicles do not have built-in connected systems. For road users, the solution is intended to provide better information, fewer unexpected incidents and a safer journey overall.

The initiative comes as India continues to face major road safety challenges. By launching its first C-ITS project, the country is positioning itself at the forefront of connected mobility and exploring preventive, information-led approaches that can support drivers in real time.

Kapsch TrafficCom will draw on its experience from large-scale deployments in Europe, Australia and North America while adapting proven connected vehicle use cases to the specific conditions of Indian traffic. The project is intended to show that advanced road safety technologies can be scalable, practical and locally relevant.

A key part of the programme will be local capability building. Indian engineers and operators will receive training in configuring C-ITS services, working with AI-based traffic analytics and managing operational workflows designed for Indian highway environments. This approach is expected to create a foundation for broader national deployment in cooperation with local industry partners.

Sonal Ahuja, Managing Director India at Kapsch TrafficCom, said the project represents an important milestone for the company’s expansion in India. He added that combining connected vehicle technology with advanced AI solutions can create new opportunities to improve road safety, traffic management and assisted mobility across both urban and regional transport networks.

With this connected highway pilot, Kapsch TrafficCom and SCAIL are laying the groundwork for a new era of intelligent, user-centred mobility in India, with solutions aimed at safer journeys, improved transport efficiency and future scalability.

Kapsch TrafficCom is a global provider of transportation solutions for sustainable mobility, with projects in more than 50 countries. Its work in tolling and traffic management supports efforts to reduce congestion and improve transport systems.
