Many people become victims of accidents while walking on the road. Due to this, the Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has introduced 'Moving Off Information System' in some categories of four-wheelers, passenger and commercial vehicles from the time the car is manufactured to reduce the chances of collision with pedestrians and cyclists. (MOIS) has been proposed. Due to this, it will give timely warning in case of collision. The Ministry has set standards for MOIS for automobile industries in a draft in this regard.

Let us now tell you what Moving Off Information System (MOIS) means. Which allows the vehicle to detect and inform the driver of the presence of nearby pedestrians and cyclists and, if necessary, warn the driver of a possible collision based on the manufacturer's strategy.

The Road Ministry's proposal assumes significance as the number of road accidents in India is projected to increase by an alarming 12 percent to more than 4.6 lakh in 2022.
