BRAVO , GADKARI-JI !
At
the press conference during " Make in India " week , you announced
electronic toll collection at 360 toll plazas
from April 01
You
said :
"
Waiting period at toll nakas range from 10 to
30 minutes and lead to wastage of much time and fuel
Under
the ( new ) system, stickers attached to vehicles
will be scanned at toll plazas and the toll will be automatically
deducted from motorists' pre-paid accounts "
The
news report says , a special body comprising two banks and a government agency
will operate the system
Of
course , such systems have been successfully working in a number of countries
for decades
But
you are a visionary ! And impatient ( - a rare virtue among Ministers ! )
And
determined to make a difference to the existing poor state of affairs in our
country's transport systems
You
may want to consider my following suggestion :
*
You have already decided that Indian Vehicle Manufacturers shall comply with
Bharat VI emission standards ,
from April 2020 ( bypassing Bharat V standards )
*
Please pass an Executive Order ( no need for
passing a Bill in Rajya Sabha ! ) which requires ( from April 2020 ),
# ALL vehicle manufacturers to install a RFID
sensor in each vehicle ,
# A device to measure emission level of each
engine and broadcast the readings to a Web-based Network
# Assign each vehicle , a unique IP V 6.0 ,
internet address ( URL ) , linked with its Engine Serial Number
*
Install a IT enabled platform , which connects all
State RTOs with the Union Transport Ministry thru VPN
*
Install software which , using these devices , continuously / dynamically
monitors ,
# Physical location of each and every
vehicle , on each and every road of our country , thru Google Maps
This will display Traffic Density on all the roads
and guide the motorists re routes to be avoided
# The actual Emission Level of each vehicle,
at all times and sends a Warning Signal to local RTO / local
Traffic Police
/ the vehicle manufacturers / Central Transport Ministry
When the actual emission level exceeds permissible
level , a RED light on top of the vehicle will flash !
DEAR
SHRI GADKARI-JI :
If
anyone says , " This cannot be implemented by April 2020 " , then ask
him to provide an earlier date !
