GHMC launches mobile app for real-time road safety inspections

The GHMC has launched a Periodic Public Safety Inspection app developed using ArcGIS Field Maps, to ensure public safety and better road infrastructure management across the city.

The mobile-based application enables field engineers to record, update and capture geo-tagged photographs of road issues such as potholes, open manholes, damaged catch pits, protruding bars or stones, open electrical boxes on footpaths and improper barricading for ongoing works, all directly from the field. Officials said



the app would enable real-time tracking, faster inspections and transparent reporting, ensuring higher efficiency, accountability and safety in road maintenance operations.

Key features of the app include timely detection of road damages, GIS-enabled, accurate data capture for quick decisions, evidence-based monitoring through geo-tagged photos and GPS data and transparency and accountability via centralised dashboards tracking issues from inspection to resolution, a press release said.
