FICCI Compendium on Best Practices in Road Safety In India 2025
The FICCI Compendium on Best Practices in Road Safety in India (2025) showcases innovative initiatives across engineering, education, enforcement, emergency care, and institutional frameworks, reflecting India’s growing commitment to “Vision Zero: Life First, Always.” The document highlights pioneering projects such as Savitar Services’ deployment of Advanced Driver Assistance Systems (ADAS) and Driver Monitoring Systems (DMS) in commercial vehicles, which achieved an 80% reduction in accident probability and improved fleet efficiency. Kataline Infraproducts introduced parabolic transverse bar markings and coloured surfacing at black spots on highways, delivering sustained speed reduction and eliminating fatalities post‑implementation. Hindustan Petroleum Corporation Ltd implemented a nationwide Vehicle Tracking System (VTS) for LPG transport, enabling real‑time monitoring, geo‑fencing, and multilingual alerts, resulting in a 13% reduction in incidents and improved compliance. LightMetrics’ Ride View Drowsiness Detection leveraged Edge AI to identify early signs of fatigue, reducing risky driving events by 85% across fleets. In education, Ashok Leyland’s driver training institutes reached over 3.27 lakh beneficiaries, combining defensive driving, health check‑ups, and awareness campaigns, while Honda Motorcycle & Scooter India’s “Catch Them Young” programme trained over 97 lakh participants, fostering safe behaviour among children and youth. United Way Mumbai’s ViA Safe Mobility Ambassador Programme empowered schoolchildren as advocates for road safety, sensitising over 1.16 lakh students and teachers. Collectively, these best practices demonstrate how technology, awareness, and collaboration can transform India’s road safety landscape, offering scalable models for nationwide adoption.
