Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

Now as I approach my 90th birthday ( 27 June 2023 ) , I invite you to visit my Digital Avatar ( www.hemenparekh.ai ) – and continue chatting with me , even when I am no more here physically

Discuss with me


POLLUTION   SOLUTION , aka " PollSolv "

It is said : Necessity is the Mother of Invention
Let us rephrase :  Essentiality is the Mother of Intervention
This is in response to Odd / Even driving rule being experimented in Delhi from Jan 1 2016
Equally applicable to any other city , threatened by vehicular emission pollution
This solution will be named : PollSolve
It will be in two parts , as follows :

#  VEHICLE BASED DEVICE

All vehicles (existing and future registrations) to be fitted with a GPS locator ( compulsory )
Each of this locator will carry Vehicle Number ( hard-coded )
A software in Delhi Transport Department , will then , be able to track in real time , movement of each vehicle ( 24*7 ) , on several computer screens
If a Odd numbered vehicle is travelling on Even date , it will show up as a RED colored dot on the screen and through linkage with RTO records ,an automatic alert will be issued to the mobile phone of the nearest Traffic Police to catch / stop that vehicle and take that vehicle, off the road !
The owner / driver can take it back after one week of grounding !
This technology is available , commercially and off - the - shelf
Should not take more than 6 months to implement


#  MOBILE BASED APP

Each citizen of Delhi will have to ( compulsorily ) download and install on his smart phone , an App called :  CarPool
He / she will enter following data in the App :
*   Name / Gender
*   Email Id / Mobile Number / Residence Address / Work-place Address
*   From / To ( in the morning ) / Time of travel
*   From / To ( in the evening ) /  Time of travel
*  If owning a vehicle , then :
    #  Vehicle type : 2 - 3 - 4 wheeler
    #  Fuel type     :  Petrol / Diesel / Electric
    #  Vehicle Capacity : 1 - 2 - 3 - 4 persons ( including driver )
    #  Vehicle Number :
    #  Vehicle Registration Date ( to compute " Age " of vehicle )
    #  Serial Number of GPS locator fitted on vehicle ( must be unique / Mfrr to take care )
    #  CarPool Number (Unique Serial No allotted by App) : To be entered after joining a Pool
With this data , software will analyze / display , a list containing names / contact info of other citizens ( matched gender-wise ) , travelling on same , approximate " route " and the nearest pick-up points , on Google Map
Citizens will then contact other vehicle-owners and form a CarPool
Then , they will enter their CarPool Number ( as mentioned above )
The software will reanalyze / redisplay the list if any entered data gets EDITED later
After compiling data about ONE BILLION actual cumulative travels undertaken by each type of vehicle ( 2-3-4 wheeler ) , BIG DATA ANALYTICS software , will carry out ,
*  Millions of permutations / combinations of " Car Pool Universes " possible
*  Using ( updated version of ) " Karmarkar's Algorithm " , figure out the optimum Car Pool
    Universe which minimizes the overall pollution level in Delhi
 *  Calculate for each citizen , the " LEAST POLLUTING ROUTE " based on data compiled
     from the " Optimum Universe " and  send " Car Pooling Recommendation " to each
     citizen thru CarPool app
  

This could be somewhat like " Travelling Salesman Problem " in Linear Programming ( - improved versions could be found in Fuzzy Logic / Neural Network / Artificial Intelligence )

Given the prevalent START-UP wave in India, any number of Indian Start Up companies would be happy to take on this " Two Part " challenge and implement in 6 months . It is the least expensive / permanent / replicable solution , suitable for the entire World
All that is required is a POLITICAL WILL and some genuine cooperation between Shri Gopal Rai ( Delhi Govt ) and Shri Nitin Gadkari ( Central Govt )
It is time to offer to the World , an INDIAN ANSWER to vehicular pollution
