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).
