Adoption of Automated & Intelligent Machine-aided Construction (AIMC) by MoRTH in Highway Construction
Subject: - Adoption of Automated & Intelligent Machine-aided Construction (AIMC) by MoRTH in Highway Construction The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways (MoRTH) has recently introduced Automated & Intelligent Machine-aided Construction (AIMC) to revolutionize highway construction in India. This initiative is driven by the need for faster, more precise, and high-quality road infrastructure development while minimizing human errors and environmental impact. Key Technologies Under AIMC 1. GPS-Aided Motor Graders These graders use 3D machine control technology for accurate earthwork and road grading. They work in alignment with digital design models, reducing dependency on manual surveying. Benefit: Ensures precise slopes and elevations , reducing rework and material wastage. 2. Intelligent Compactors Equipped with real-time compaction monitoring systems that adjust pressure based on soil density. Reduces over-compaction and under-compaction , which can cause...
