About InTranSE -II Program-

• An indigenous Onboard Driver Assistance and Warning System – ODAWS, Bus Signal Priority System and Common SMart iot Connectiv (CoSMiC) software have been launched under ITS Endeavour for Indian Cities Phase-II initiative of Ministry of Electronics and Information Technology (MeitY).
• The product was developed as a joint initiative by Centre for Development of Advanced Computing (CDAC) and Indian Institute of Technology Madras (IIT-M). 
• Mahindra and Mahindra was the industrial collaborator for the project.

Onboard Driver Assistance and Warning System – ODAWS-

• ODAWS incorporates vehicle-borne sensors for monitoring driver propensity and vehicle surroundings to deliver acoustic and visual alerts for driver assistance. 
• The project involves the development of sub-modules such as the navigational unit, driver assistance console, and mmWave radar sensor that probe positional and dynamic characteristics of surrounding vehicles. 
• The ODAWS algorithm is used to interpret sensor data and offer real-time notifications to the driver, boosting road safety.
• As per Ministry of Road Transport and Highways of India (MoRTH), in around 84 percent of cases, “driver error” was cited as the cause of the accident. 

Bus Signal Priority System- 

• Bus signal priority System is an operational strategy that modifies normal traffic signal operations to better accommodate in-service public buses at signal-controlled intersections. 
• Unlike a blind priority that is given for emergency vehicles, here it is a conditional priority, which is given only when there is an overall reduction in delay for all vehicles. 
• The developed system will enable to minimize person delay by providing priority to public transport buses, either through Green extension or Red truncation, considering all vehicles approaching a signalized intersection.

Common SMart iot Connectiv (CoSMiC)- 

• It is a middleware software providing standard based deployment of IoT (Internet of things) adhering to oneM2M based global standard. 
• It facilitates users and application service providers in various vertical domains to use application agnostic open standards and open interfaces for end to end communication with well-defined common service functionalities complying with oneM2M standard. 
• The horizontal silo architecture ensures interoperability and data exchange between different IOT devices and applications and avoids vendor lock-in. 
• CoSMiC comply with 12 common service functions which are Registration, Discovery, Security, Group Management, Data Management & Repository, Subscription & Notification, Device Management, Application & Service Management, Communication Management, and Delivery Handling, Network Service Exposure, Location, Service Charging and Accounting.
• It provides a Dashboard page showing IoT units, products, applications, and its live data in a Geographical Information System (GIS) map. 
• A secondary data repository is also available for historic charts and reports.
