Dear
Team :
They
say : On internet , ideas are , dime-a-dozen
To
this , I like to add : Only a quick , elegant execution gives you the "
first mover advantage "
Here
is the proof :
#
Some 4 months back , 13 year old Alok Mittal ( Delhi ) conceptualized /
designed / launched ,
www.odd-even.com ( a car pooling web site
)
#
Around the same time - and independently - I thought of a similar solution ( to
the problem of car pooling )
and posted following blog ( Pollution Solution )
#
When I learned from news papers re Alok's web site , I sent him a email ( see
below )
#
To day's Hindustan Times reports that www.Orahi.com
, purchased Alok's web site
#
I have , today , forwarded my blog to Orahi , since my suggestion goes FAR FAR
beyond Alok's ! Hopefully ,
they will take it forward
Moral
of the story :
If
, the " Car pooling paradigm " got permanently changed by a 13 year
old , there is no reason why some 26 year olds cannot change the rules of
" Online Recruitment Industry " , by implementing ResumesExchange
/ OnlineJobsFair !

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
CarPool App will not accept
the data ,nor get activated ,until Mobile Owner also keeps " ON "
the GPS location feature
built into the phone
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 )
{
" Big data has the potential to make a huge impact on Public Services in
India, as it will streamline the decision-making " : Stephen
Brobst , Global CTO , Teradata Corporation }
Another suggestion :
If ODD
/ EVEN rule provides for 50:50 probability and reduces the no of vehicles on
roads by 50 % , use of an algorithm which picks only 25 % of the car numbers
from the database of cars , using a RANDOM NUMBER TABLE , will reduce the
vehicles on road to 25% !
And nothing " arbitrary
" about a computer selection , announced 24 hours earlier !
This will eliminate the
incentive to rush and buy a second car with either odd or even number !
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

Dear Akshat ,
Just
chanced upon your web site,
Congratulations
for your initiative !
A
few days back , I thought of almost identical idea , as explained in my
following blog , which , I have been posting ( as my " Comments " )
on many web sites
I
also sent it to :
*
Prime Minister / Several Union Ministers
*
Arvind Kejriwal / Gopal Rai
*
A few Newspapers / TV Anchors / Economists / Business Leaders
*
A few Indian Companies engaged in BIG DATA ANALYTICS
Problems
of our country can get solved only when young people like you persevere and
spread the word about those solutions
Eg:
My blog " How
to Conquer Corruption ? "
