Thiruvananthapuram, Apr 5 (IANS): Trade forum National Association of Software and Services Companies (NASSCOM) has listed Kerala-based IBS Software as one of the top 50 innovators in India for the year 2009.

The company is a technology solutions provider to the travel, transportation and logistics industries. It was nominated in the "market facing innovation" category for its product Road Safety Management System (RSMS), an accident database management system that redefines the way road accident data is managed.

"There is a tremendous opportunity for innovative technology solutions to make road management more efficient and safer. RSMS is one such solution. The recognition by NASSCOM is a huge encouragement for us to pursue further initiatives that harness the power of IT for the common good" said V.K. Mathews, IBS chairman and CEO.

With increasing accidents and fatalities on Indian roads, several stats are turning to technology to improve the functioning of their transport and police (traffic) departments.

RSMS, currently used by some governments, is the only proven web-based solution in its category designed for large-scale accident data system implementations for planning, managing and controlling accident data.

The UK-based Transport Research Laboratory, a world leader in research and consultancy, has signed an agreement with IBS to develop technology solutions to improve safety and efficiency of road transport.
