Driving on Indian roads is not a cakewalk, but it takes adeptness and presence of mind to avoid accidents.
For this reason, the Government of India is encouraging the introduction of digital platforms in all states, which will help reduce accidents on highways and roads. These digital platforms provide information like vehicle owner details by number plate, which is useful during rash driving and cases of road accidents in states like Maharashtra.
So, to learn more about these digital platforms, keep reading.
Digital platforms are significantly transforming road safety and compliance across all of Maharashtra. The use of the following digital platforms or apps is helping everyone to be aware of how they are driving or what more should be done.

One of the most popular road safety and compliance apps in Maharashtra is the Maha Trafficapp. It is a user-friendly app which allows you to view and pay e challan Maharashtra and report traffic violations within this state. Moreover, this user-friendly app allows you to get notifications and alerts from the state’s traffic police. The app users can use the traffic education material to learn more about compliance with the road regulations within Maharashtra.
2. m-Parivahan App
The m-Parivahan app is a digital platform enabling vehicle owners in the country and Maharashtra to access various transport-related services.

With this app, you can easily manage your challans and check the validity of your vehicle insurance. You can also apply for transport services, like finding details of accidents and stolen vehicles. Using this app is also simple. You need to download the app, create an account, register, and access its services.
3. iRAD App
With the Integrated Road Accident Database (iRAD) mobile app, it is possible to create a unique ID for a road accident for police personnel after entering the photos and videos of the incident. The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways introduced this app, which is widely used in Maharashtra.
Consequently, using this app will enrich the accident database to provide accurate statistics and information about each accident in the state. Such information and statistics will enable the central and state governments to frame new road safety rules and regulations for a better and safer experience on the road. Therefore, the Government of India will successfully ensure the implementation of the ‘Safe Road for All’ project in the country.
4. RoadBounce App
Measuring road quality and roughness is made easier with the help of the RoadBounce app. In other words, it measures the International Roughness Index (IRI) and Pavement Condition Index (PCI), which enable you to understand the road conditions throughout Maharashtra. This way, you will be driving comfortably as you will have access to real-time information and geotagged data about road conditions.
Apart from this, you can access historical data tracking, which helps to track road conditions over time. Other services available in this app to Maharashtrian drivers include map integration, customised scales, fleet management, and optimised route suggestions for safer drives. Such useful information not only ensures road safety and compliance but also helps the state government of Maharashtra to frame better traffic policies.
5. Good Samaritan Road Safety App
Strengthening the post-crash response is equally important as accident prevention in Maharashtra. For this reason, BVG Foundation and Tata Motors have designed the Good Samaritan Road Safety app, which integrates ambulance systems for faster response after an accident.
Furthermore, the app empowers communities to respond to road accidents immediately without the fear of any legal consequences. It provides immediate access to first aid, helping to create safer roads for Maharashtrian drivers.
Improving road safety in Maharashtra is a shared responsibility of the Government and the community. Here are certain tips for better road safety and compliance:
- Follow Traffic Signals: Ensure not to break traffic signals, as it can be risky for road crossers.
- Avoid Drinking: It is better not to drink if you will be driving.
- Wear a Seatbelt: Wearing a seatbelt helps avoid injuries during sudden brakes.
- Maintain a Safe Distance: Always maintain a safe distance from nearby vehicles.
Final Thoughts
Henceforth, Maharashtra is collectively working towards better road safety and compliance in the future. The implementation of digital platforms like iRAD, m-Parivahan, Maha TrafficApp, RoadBounce, and Good Samaritan Road Safety App can lead to safer roads and shorter response times after a crash. Therefore, with advanced technology and digital platforms, Maharashtrian drivers can hope for enhanced safety on roads and avoid accidents in the future.
