Possible levers identified for transit time reduction
Element
Levers for time reduction
Time impact
(hrs saved per 100
tonne transported)
Rationale
A
Reduction
stoppage
time during
transit
1▪ Integrating dynamic weighbridges, toll nakas
and RTO check points
2▪ RFID enabled seals on vehicles to enable 'zero'
stoppage at RTO check posts
3▪ Integrated online sales tax platform fed through
RFID seal detection on vehicles
4▪ Moving 100% tolling counters to electronic
tolling
2–3
3–5
3–4
30 min per RTO x 5 RTO
points (MAH o/b, AHM- i/b
and o/b, Rajasthan i/b and
o/b)
1 sales tax per State x 2.5
hrs per sales tax point
15 min per naka x 15 naka
per way
5▪ Implement chain linking/ double driver models
to ensure continuous travel
40
Double driver expected to do
away with nearly 90%
of resting time currently
B
Loading/
unloading
centers
6▪ DP norms for warehousing/ loading centres to
mandate for necessary parking lots and
sufficient approach roads to avoid truck lines
8–10
Ideally considered 1–2 hrs
per truck
C
Overall travel
speed
7▪ SLA defined on timely delivery; performance
based incentives on % SLA achievement
8▪ Control tower operations to debottleneck issues
enroute
20–25 Potential speed of 45–50
km/hr can be achieved from
current 25–30 km/hr
Total time impact
60–80
Hrs per 100 tonne
