Moving off Information System’ (MOIS)

November 11, 2023

GS Paper III Indian Economy

Context:

  • The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has proposed the installation of an inbuilt ‘moving off information system’ (MOIS) in certain categories of four-wheeler passenger and commercial vehicles to reduce the possibility of collision with pedestrians and cyclists in close proximity.

What is the Moving Off Information System (MOIS)?

  • It proposes the integration of a ‘Moving Off Information System’ (MOIS) in specific categories of vehicles to address collisions with pedestrians and cyclists in close proximity.
  • MOIS Functionality: MOIS is designed to detect and alert drivers about the presence of pedestrians and cyclists nearby. It issues a warning to the driver if a potential collision is imminent, based on the manufacturer’s strategy.

Why Moving Off Information System’ (MOIS) is needed?

  • Road Accident Statistics: Against the backdrop of a 12 percent increase in road accidents in 2022, totaling over 4.6 lakh, and resulting in 19 deaths per hour, the MOIS proposal gains significance.
  • Ministerial Target for Road Safety: To halve the number of accidents and related deaths by 2024.
  • Key Causes of Accidents: Major contributors to accident-related deaths include “Hit from Back” (19.5 percent), “Hit and Run” (18.1 percent), and “Head-on Collision” (15.7 percent).
