IRD’s WIMAt IRD, Rish Malhotra definitely sees a change coming. “There are linkages showing up in tenders, starting from enhancing safety and efficiency in cities to protect vulnerable road users to enforcing all vehicular traffic on speeds, red lights, emissions, congestion, dimensions and also commercial vehicles on weights,” he says. “The underlying focus is enforcement to drive a better quality of life. Restricting HGVs to improve safety and efficiency, as well as enforcement, go hand in hand. These types of restrictions lead to less daytime congestion and a smoother flow of goods and people. WiM helps metros understand the type and timing of trucks - which is different from commuter needs.”
