SMART

SMART — Sona Management Analysis Road & Traffic

A smart solution for all types of traffic which include roadways, railways, airways and sea ways there is new way which is the SMART way. Sonastar presenting Sona Management Analysis Road & Traffic (SMART)

Having successfully concluded one of India’s highest traffic.

Are you controlling the controllables?
Do you have checks and balances for variables ?
or
Do you have early warning signals? (People SMART)

Sona Star Innovation Pvt ltd., which focuses on various areas of improvements, audits, and consulting. Having achieved great success in many of our ventures, mainly in the area of process audits, process improvements & technology development, using inputs like CCTV images, Data Mining, technical tools along with predictive outputs

One of our key achievements have been monitoring national highways, especially accident-prone zones like the Thoppur ghats in the Dharmapuri dist., which connects both Chennai & Bengaluru to Salem, Coimbatore, Kerala & Southern part of Tamilnadu and wherein the daily traffic of over 5 lac vehicles pass through this small but fast ghat section, extending only to about 6 kms. This location was recorded as one of the highest accident-prone areas in the country during the month of 13th Dec 2020 wherein there was a fatal accident. Total of 15+ vehicles collided, 5 people were badly injured & 4 people died on the spot. This was a cause of great concern. This incident compelled the RTO along with the police dept who got in touch with Sona Star.

We took up this matter by using analytics & accident videos, we are happy to have reduced the accidents by 80% through our solutions which was implemented instantly. The record of accidents prior & post to the study has been attached. Similarly, we have done many projects where we have worked with the national highway, state highway & industry parks. We have consulted with them and given our in-depth study reports for them to improve the quality of vehicle movement. This activity has been appreciated immensely by all the above stakeholders.

Recently, there has been growing concern about the traffic conditions in Seelanayakenpatti, a locality in Salem. Addressing these concerns, Sonastar has stepped forward with a comprehensive suggestion for improving traffic management in the area. This initiative by Sonastar highlights the importance of community involvement in urban planning and infrastructure development. Residents and commuters in Seelanayakenpatti are hopeful that this proposal will pave the way for a smoother and safer traffic flow, enhancing the overall quality of life in the region.

We took up this matter by using analytics & accident videos, we are happy to have reduced the accidents by 80% through our solutions which was implemented instantly.

We have consulted with them and given our in-depth study reports for them to improve the quality of vehicle movement. This activity has been appreciated immensely by all the above stakeholders.
Having completed the successful ventures in the post pandemic, the opportunity today can also be extended to people management just like the success we have already achieved in Traffic management. We have a qualified team and a success mantra embedded with technology to cater to high density people in traffic areas like airports, bus stations, railway stations, hospitals, etc. Sona Star can provide an end-to-end solution with the detailed assessment & will also assist you with solution implementation, if required
The policy of 80-20 principle which is so prevalent in any transport facility, where 80% of the traffic would be evident during 20% of the time. Especially morning hours between 6.30 am to 10 am there could be several possibilities to re organize the process through continuous monitoring. We could set up a ‘Think Tank’ to bring in optimum changes & work along with your operation experts through a performance tool using our experienced process reengineers, periodically. This would be very important as the touch points like vehicles coming in late or the weather conditions, due to congestion etc., which is not in the control of the primary management system. There could be many such challenges where the Sona Star team can focus on and create a solution.
Sona has the unique blend of qualified professionals and experienced retired officers from high traffic areas like national highways, airports, railway stations and ports who are our sector specific experts. This team of experience and youth create a perfect model solution and offer services which can be very unique but very important in this era of fast moving people and traffic
Sona star has working on the model where the CSR funds can be acquired to manage traffic and improve people movement in your local area. There could be an accident prone zone or a people congestion zone that could improve the local area and branding of our company will go up leaps and bounce and complete work from analytics to implementation can be done by the sona star team.
