www.chinabuses.org: UK-headquartered TRL and Delhi Integrated Multi-Modal Transit System (DIMTS) have signed a Memorandum of Understanding to enable future collaboration and knowledge-sharing. DIMTS is a joint venture company set up with equal equity of the Government of National Capital Territory of Delhi (GNCTD) and Infrastructure Development Finance Company (IDFC). They specialise in urban transport and infrastructure services, aiming to develop and deliver world class urban infrastructure to the citizens of Delhi.

According to S N Sahai, managing director and chief executive of DIMTS, “With one of the busiest and fastest growing cities in the world our transport plans have to be both visionary and practical. Our links with TRL will ensure that creative solutions will be used to deliver our ambitious plans.”

With this partnership, TRL will look to assist DIMTS in developing solutions not only for the ITS that are being implemented on the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) corridor, but also to help develop future ITS projects that may be carried out both within Delhi as well as other states of India. DIMTS and TRL may also explore the provision of simulation capabilities for bus driver licence acquisition and driver training.

Also on the horizon are opportunities for DIMTS and TRL to become involved in capacity building and training of government officials who will be involved with the delivery of ITS solutions. This will not only help cities develop new transport related technologies but also assist in the creation and application of practical, workable traffic solutions.
