Will China rule the Sky ?
And the earth below ?
Here is the proof – if one was needed :
Extracts :
The Beidou Navigation System, currently serving
China and neighbors, will be accessible worldwide by 2020………..
The system eventually will provide positioning
accuracies of 1 meter ( 3 feet ) or less with use of a ground
support system…..
By comparison, GPS typically provides accuracies
of less than 2.2 meters, which can be improved to a few centimeters with
augmentation systems
[ U.S.-China Economic and Security Review
Commission ]
Beijing-based NavInfo, which supplies Tesla Inc. and Bayerische Motoren Werke AG, expects annual demand of 15 million Beidou-linked chips for autonomous
vehicles.
………….foreign companies are including Beidou compatibility in their
products. Qualcomm Inc., the biggest maker of chips used in smartphones, has been
supporting Beidou “for a long time,” the San Diego-based company said. Those
chip sets also are used in wearables
and automobiles.
Most smartphones from global sales leader Samsung Electronics Co.support Beidou in addition to GPS …….as do
handsets from local rivals Huawei Technologies Co. and Xiaomi Corp.
China also is the largest auto market, and the government wants all
car-navigation systems to be Beidou-compatible within two years.
Volkswagen AG -– the market leader in passenger car sales -- is
changing the equipment in its vehicles to enable network access, the company
said.
“At the moment, Volkswagen
Group China does not sell cars with Beidou-enabled equipment, but the next
infotainment system generation for cars in the Chinese market will be rolled
out in 2020,’’ the Wolfsburg, Germany-based company said. “ This system will be ready to
receive Beidou information.”
Toyota Motor Corp. is in
discussions with companies about Beidou, the Japanese automaker said.
The Chinese government eventually will require airlines flying in the country to
add Beidou equipment…..
=========================================================
In my yesterday’s blog , I envisaged following
capability of our own GPA satellite navigation system , NaviC :
“ It is safe to assume that most – if not all – of the passengers
in a vehicle , are carrying smart phones with
GPS feature . NaviC
will be able to pick up this data and figure out various
kinds of statistics ( Ave no of passengers / Total no of passengers ). “
[ source : Transport : an
Integrated Logistic Plan ? ]
Now
Beidou is boasting of “ positioning accuracy “ of just 1 meter ( 3 feet )…… which can be improved to a few centimeters with augmentation systems
That fulfills the requirement of : Tracking mobile phones of every
passenger in a vehicle !
Dear
Shri Prabhuji / Shri Gadkariji ,
I am sure that you are as confident as I am that
ISRO team of scientists / engineers , led by ISRO chief Shri K Sivan ( chairman@isro.gov.in ) , are quite
capable to implement ,
Integrated Logistics Plan
[ ILP ]
Just challenge them !

Subject: For Attn : Shri Suresh Prabhuji / Shri Nitin Gadkariji
Dear Shri Suresh Prabhuji,
Speaking at CILT Expo 2018 , you said
:
“We are preparing an INTEGRATED LOGISTICS PLAN and also a portal to make logistics
efficient and cost – effective in the country“
(source : Preparing integrated logistics plan to cut
transactions cost for industry: Suresh Prabhu )
And on last Monday , PM Shri Modiji
launched a GRAND
CHALLENGE to further
improve India’s position in the World Bank’s EASE OF DOING BUSINESS ranking to the top 50 by using cutting
edge technology [ Internet of Things – Artificial Intelligence – Big Data
Analytics – Block Chain ] , to reform government processes
Please allow me to offer following
suggestion which will meet both these objectives
A : PROBLEM STATEMENT
Transport is getting to be a big problem world-wide
By 2018 , total number of cars / buses / trucks in the world was
approx. 1.4 Billion
By 2036 , this is expected to go up to 2.8 Billion ( doubling in
20 years )
I have not bothered to dig up figures for bicycles - 2 / 3
Wheeler – Tractors etc
In short travelling / transporting is getting to be a huge
headache
And emission pollution is killing millions
All over the world , experts and authorities are coming up with
a number of suggestions to solve this problem
To me, these attempts seem disparate / loose / uncoordinated /
tangential
I have yet to come across a holistic / all-encompassing / multi-dimensional
solution
Following is my suggestion for an INTEGRATED LOGISTICS PLAN [
ILP ]
B : GUIDING PRINCIPLES / GOALS of ILP
· Minimize all kinds of transport
o Minimize: Private transport / People travel /
Polluting transport
o Maximize: Public transport / Non-polluting
transport / Video-Conferencing
o Discourage: Land-based transport / “Within City
“transport / “Privately Owned transport
o Encourage: Air based transport / Water based transport / “Public owned
“Transport / Shared
transport / Night – time
transport
o Raise: “ Ease of Doing Business “ rank to under 50
o Lower: “ Cost of logistics “ from current 14 % of GDP to 6 % of GDP
C: ROAD-MAP TO ACHIEVE THESE
OBJECTIVES
o Levying of TRANS-TAX on all vehicles
from birth to death of a vehicle ( irrespective of change in ownership through
gifting / selling )
o TRANS-TAX will get collected
automatically and for each hour of a vehicle’s life
o In this collection process , there will
be NO HUMAN INTERVENTION whatsoever
o Amount of TRANS-TAX to be collected
every hour , will depend on it’s TRANSCORE
o A vehicle’s TRANSCORE will be based on
its total HQ [ Harm Quotient ] for that hour
o Higher the total HQ [ TRANSCORE ] , higher
the TRANS-TAX ( directly proportional )
o Logic : To lower their TRANS-TAX
liability , people will opt for vehicles and driving conditions which generate
a low TRANSCORE
o TRANS-TAX will replace all other
vehicle-related taxes ( eg : Registration tax / Road Tax etc ) , other than the
GST payable by buyer at time of purchase of vehicle
o TRANS-TAX will be uniform throughout
India but credited to the State in which vehicle is, at each hour of its life
o TRANS-TAX will be computed as per
following HQ MATRIX . For exact mechanism , look up para on
TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM below
o This is a conceptual frame work and
transport experts may debate and come up with a different set of “ Factors “ /
“ Weightages “ / “ Rating Scales “
o Without doubt , all of these will differ
from country to country and from time to time , within the same country

What is the total
HQ [ Harm Quotient ] of this
vehicle ?
75 + 50 + 25
+ 25 + 25 + 15 + 25 + 25 + 100 + 100 = 465
This is usage having almost the “HIGHEST
TRANSCORE” (Transcore = Σ of HQs)
G :
SOME MORE EXAMPLES OF TRANSCORE
Now following usage is one yielding a
“ Very Low
TRANSCORE “ :
Li-ion Battery driven
Electric / Government Owned / Industrial
Use / < 4 years old /
Boat / carrying 50 +
persons / Inland Waterways / operating between
12 midnight to 8 am / Outside City limits /
Moving
TRANSCORE = 30 + 10 + 5 + 5 +
5 + 5 + 5 + 5 + 20 + 100 = 190
And here is one likely usage , yielding
a “ Moderate TRANSCORE “ :
Petrol / short
hire / for people / 6 –
8 years old vehicle / Rickshaw / capacity 3 –
4 persons / On City roads / operating
between 12 noon and 5 pm / within city
limits / moving
TRANSCORE = 60 +
30 + 25 + 15 + 15 + 15 + 25 + 15 + 100 + 100 = 400
H : TECHNOLOGY PLATFORM
This will consist of the following :
Ø NaviC : the Navigator
Satellite based “ Vehicle Tracking / Monitoring “ system,
covering entire India. This will track all 220 + Million vehicles ,
on 24x7 , taking one reading every 10 minute to compute the HQ of each vehicle.
Final HQ for a given hour will be the average of the 6 readings / hour
Based on ( variable ? ) TRANS-TAX formula , NaviC will , every hour ,
deduct appropriate amount from FASTag RFID embedded in each
vehicle and transfer to designated account of concerned State Government
For details of how this will work , read
:
Ø All vehicles
All Vehicle manufacturers will be mandated to embedded the
vehicles with FASTag RFID sensors and other sensors ,
listed at :
Ø Internet of Vehicles [ 04 March
2017 ]
From these sensors , NaviC will be able to pick up DATA re : Energy Source – Type of vehicle – Capacity –
Manufacturing date – Purpose – Emission levels etc , from all
vehicles – ships – planes – drones etc
Trucks transporting GOODS , ( and embedded with RFID FASTags into all carried packages ) will
enable NaviC to integrate with e-way bill system , as described in :
Ø A New Way to E-Way ? [ 15 July 2017 ]
From following news ( 19 Nov 2018 ) , it seems this suggestion
is already under implementation :
Govt plans linking e-way bill with FASTag, logistics data bank to check
GST evasion
Obviously each vehicle being driven ( in
motion ) is driven by a driver with a DRIVING LICENSE.
Just like E – PASSPORTS , driving
licenses too can be embedded with RFID sensors (
carrying full data of the driver ) . This data will be picked up by NaviC.
It is safe to assume that most – if not
all – of the passengers in a vehicle , are carrying smart phones with GPS feature . NaviC will be able to
pick up this data and figure out various kinds of
statistics ( Ave no of passengers / Total no of passengers).
CCTV cameras mounted on poles along city roads will be
capturing the data ( images ) of the HIGH
SECURITY vehicle
number plates . I
believe those CCTVs could be embedded with RFID sensors , which can relay such
data to NaviC
· Pre-loaded “ Payment Wallets “ [ FASTag ] , linked with owners’ Bank
Accounts for automatic deductions every hour
· Must have a dashboard which displays HQ
MATRIX tabulation , with current STATUS of that vehicle highlighted , for ready
reference by the driver / owner
· Since it may not be possible to have HQ
MATRIX tabulation displayed on the dashboard of a Scooter , there will be a
Mobile App for the same
Ø 24x7 monitoring through
· Central Control Room ( Central Transport
Ministry )
· State Control Rooms (State RTOs)
RTOs will be able to see on their monitors , HQ MATRIX of any
vehicle ( registered in the State ) by simply clicking on the VEHICLE NUMBER
appearing on the screen
To some extent , RTOs will function in much the same way as
the Air Traffic
Control Rooms at
various airports , monitoring the movement of every vehicle ( including chain-snatchers
riding a bike or running away after shooting )
I : HOW WILL
THIS SYSTEM WORK ?
Based on the continuous feedback ( of
position of each vehicle ) by NaviC satellite, algorithm will do the following
:
· Calculate the “ TRAN-SCORE “ for each
and every vehicle , every hour and publish it on a web site
· Based on this “ TRAN-SCORE “ compute
“ TRANS-TAX “ payable by each vehicle for each hour and automatically deduct it
from “ Onboard Payment Wallet “ [ FASTag ]
· If there is NIL balance in the Payment
Wallet , immobilize the concerned vehicle , till
payment gets made
· Provide data to Insurance Companies for
“ Dynamic “ insurance premiums payable
J : LINKAGE OF
TRANSCORE WITH AMOUNT OF “ TRANS – TAX “ PAYABLE
Since TRANS – TAX is a replacement for
the Road-Taxes ( except that it is payable and automatically deduced
every hour ) , establishing a linkage would require
, tabulating the road – taxes ( and other vehicle-ownership related taxes , if
any ) for each type of vehicle in each State
I have not done this compilation but
here is a suggestion :
Have 5 slabs of TRANSCORE as follows :
0-100 / 101–200
/ 201-300 / 301-400 / 401–500
The lowest slab ( 0 – 100 ) will attract
approximately the same amount of total ANNUAL ROAD-TAX that a given type of
vehicle is currently pays . Call this BASE
SLAB
Of course , other than a vehicle which
is locked up in a garage for the entire year , no other vehicle which is being
used regularly , can be in the BASE SLAB , throughout the year !
In fact , in the most likely scenario ,
a vehicle might have its TRANSCORE fluctuate all the way from ( say ) 50 to as
high as 450 , during
different times of the day !
Linkage for the higher slabs can be :
· 101
– 200 > 150 %
of the BASE SLAB tax
· 201
– 300 > 200 %
· 301 - 400 > 250 %
· 401 - 500 > 300 %
Idea behind such an upward SLIDING SCALE
is to discourage usages
which attract high HQ
K : HOW ELSE CAN A
NAVIC BASED “ VEHICLE TRACKING – TAXING SYSTEM “ BENEFIT CITIZENS ?
Following is a partial list :
o Vehicle Arrival / Departure display
Boards at Bus Stops – Train Stations – Airports – Sea Ports
Read : PUBLIC TRANSPORT AS A
SOLUTION ? [ 15 Feb 2016 ]
o Alerting Disaster Relief Teams –
Hospitals – Ambulances – Relatives, during accidents
o Powering Mobile Apps like Google Map for
traffic density – time – alternate routes
Read : Making Yourself
Obsolete ? [ 14 Feb 2016 ]
o “Vehicles Population Database “ by Type
– Age – Energy Source – Ownership etc
o Generation of dynamic TRAFFIC MAPS in
real time
o Help plan new traffic systems (
Hyperloop / Pod Taxi / MagLev / Cable Ways etc )
o And who knows someday NaviC may even be
able to TRACK , each Rs
2000 currency
note with RFID sensor embedded into it?
