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 /  Aadhar Card No
*   Email Id / Mobile Number / Residence Address / Work-place Address
*   From / To ( in the morning ) / Starting Time of travel
*   From / To ( in the evening ) /  Starting 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
