Gorakhpur: The Gorakhpur link expressway has been equipped not only to facilitate seamless travel, but also to ensure safety and swift assistance in emergencies. Passengers can avail immediate help by simply dialling the control room helpline number 14449.
Upon calling, GPS-enabled vehicles or ambulances operated by UPEIDA will be dispatched promptly to the location, officials said.
To enhance safety and support, a fleet of 15 security vehicles will operate round the clock on the expressway. Chief minister Yogi Adityanath will flag off this fleet during the inauguration ceremony at the Bhagwanpur toll plaza on Friday. The expressway has been divided into two packages of around 45 km each.
For each package, UPEIDA has deployed two patrolling vehicles, two patrolling campers equipped with safety tools (provided by the construction agencies), two ambulances for immediate medical aid, one crane for removing damaged vehicles and one hydra vehicle for the entire stretch.
This setup ensures continuous 24x7 support along the entire expressway.
Retired IG and UPEIDA's nodal security officer, Rajesh Pandey said that until the automated traffic management system (ATMS) is installed on the expressway, the integrated control room of the Purvanchal expressway will temporarily handle alerts.

Any incident reported to the helpline number will be relayed to the nearest patrolling vehicle, ambulance, or crane via this control room.
The GPS-enabled fleet ensures that the control room can trace and dispatch the nearest available vehicle swiftly, minimising response time in case of emergencies.
In the near future, ATMS will be implemented on the Gorakhpur link expressway. This system will include CCTV cameras installed at regular intervals, monitored centrally. It will also feature speed detection cameras, number plate recognition (NPR) systems and alerts for speed limit violations, further strengthening safety and surveillance on the expressway, officials said.

Robotaxi launch: Event date, place, time and all news about Tesla's new autonomous vehicle
Elon Musk 's dream of a robotaxi is coming true, but it hasn't been easy. Tesla 's robotaxi service is finally going to launch in Austin, Texas, after months of delays and problems. Here's when it will happen, why it's important, and what you can expect. Why is this launch so significant for Tesla and its future? Tesla's robotaxi service wants to change the way people get around, starting with a small rollout and possibly spreading across the country. If it works, it could change the self-driving car market and Tesla's future in a big way. Following three consecutive sessions of gains, Tesla (TSLA) shares are up Wednesday as a result of new social media posts from CEO Elon Musk. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Dhoni's Exclusive Home Interior Choice? HomeLane Get Quote Undo What is the confirmed launch date and where will it happen? When a user inquired about the start date of Tesla's robotaxi program on Tuesday night, Musk replied that it would happen "tentatively, June 22,' as per a report by Investopedia. 'We are being super paranoid about safety, so the date could shift," Musk wrote in a tweet. He added that the first Tesla that will drive itself from the factory directly to a customer's door should be delivered about a week later, on June 28, as per a report. Live Events ALSO READ: Jennifer Garner may soon join Hollywood's billionaire club — here's how she's doing it While Musk had previously stated that the program was on track to launch sometime this month, Bloomberg reported last month that Tesla was aiming for a June 12 launch for the autonomous ridesharing service. The Tesla X account responded to another user who shared a video of what looked to be a Tesla being tested on Austin, Texas, roads without a driver in the driver's seat and posted a robot and car emoji in its own post, which was made hours before Musk's. The vehicle test confirms that "a key component of our TSLA thesis has officially begun playing out," according to a Tuesday report by Piper Sandler analysts, who have a $400 price target. Although specifics regarding the possible launch have not yet been made public, Elon Musk has stated that Tesla's plans for a more reasonably priced Tesla model are also on track to launch this month. What challenges is Tesla facing? Elon Musk has provided explanations for why it might not launch this week. While Waymo is formally in the "deployment" phase of autonomous driving operations in the city, the company is listed as being in the "testing" phase. Garrett Nelson, a CFRA analyst, predicts that Tesla's unsupervised robotaxi service launch will be largely unimpressive and will not have the same fanfare as last October's Robotaxi Day. What will the first robotaxi service in Austin be like? Initially, the company will observe about a dozen driverless Model Y cars using Full Self-Driving technology in a geofenced area of Austin, Texas, under remote performance supervision. The most crucial metrics will be how many incidents and interventions the cars record over the next few months, as well as how fast TSLA can turn off remote supervision and enter new markets outside of the geofenced area. Are there any delays or hurdles holding the robotaxi back? Elon Musk's announcement of the Austin trial last month sparked a stir among Tesla bulls who have been eager for robotaxis to go on the road. Even though the dream is still alive, investors are likely to face more obstacles in the future due to the recent detours. There will be more turbulence for the robotaxi rollout due to the unsettling developments of late. Elon Musk chose Texas because it is his home state and has far more lenient laws governing autonomous vehicles (AVs) than California. But lawmakers in Texas have sent a dismal message just days before the start of the process. An Austin-based organization advised Tesla to wait until September 1, when the new AV regulations go into effect. Safety checks and more precise compliance guidelines are part of the new regulations. According to reports, seven Texas lawmakers have signed the hold-off on the rollout. FAQs When and where will the Tesla robotaxi be launched? The launch date is tentatively scheduled for June 22 in Austin, Texas. Will robotaxis be available anywhere? Not yet, it will begin with a small area in Austin, with plans to expand later.

Tesla confirms its first robotaxi rides will have this passenger safety feature
Tesla's first robotaxi rides will include a human safety monitor in the front passenger seat. The Elon Musk-led electric vehicle maker has confirmed this feature in the invitations sent to influencers and investors. This passenger safety feature contradicts Elon Musk's previous assurances of fully unsupervised service. The invitations, which announced a June 22 launch date for the highly anticipated service, specify that the human monitor will "accompany you on your trip." This move marks a departure from Musk's earlier promises in January to launch "unsupervised" robotaxis with "no one in the car" this summer. In an April earnings call, Musk further explained that 10 to 20 Tesla Model Y vehicles would be remotely operated in emergencies. However, details regarding Tesla's robotaxi service have been scarce leading up to its launch.

Mizoram road density at 46.37km, below national avg: Lalduhoma
1 2 Aizawl: Mizoram chief minister Lalduhoma on Friday said the state's road density stands at just 46.37km per 100sqkm, significantly below the national average of 116km per 100sqkm, highlighting a serious infrastructure gap. While inaugurating the 233rd mid-term council meeting of the Indian Road Congress (IRC) at the auditorium of the Mizoram University in Aizawl, Lalduhoma also emphasised the crucial role of road infrastructure in Mizoram, which currently has only one airport and a single railway line. He said the demand for road connectivity is rapidly increasing across towns and villages, as communities now consider roads a developmental priority. Given the state's challenging hilly terrain and high rainfall, he proposed that national highways in Mizoram be constructed using rigid pavement technology, which despite higher initial costs, offers lower maintenance requirements and greater long-term durability. Highlighting Mizoram's international border, he also proposed that national highways in the state be treated as strategic roads, strengthening both connectivity and national security. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like USDJPY đang đi lên không? IC Markets Đăng ký Undo The chief minister expressed concern over the improper use of soil banks during highway construction, which has led to environmental degradation and agricultural loss. He also urged engineers to avoid unnecessary road curves, premature reconstructions, and poor drainage practices. Instead, he stressed the importance of straight alignment, durable construction, and proper culvert installations to ensure safety, cost-efficiency and sustainability. Union minister of state for road transport & highways and corporate affairs Harsh Malhotra lauded the CM's vision and reaffirmed the central govt's commitment to supporting infrastructure development in the region. The event was also addressed by state PWD minister Vanlalhlana, IRC president Prof Manoranjan Parida and IRC general secretary Rahul Gupta, among others.
