Dear Shri Misraji :
Even as I hope that you find a few
minutes to consider the feasibility of my following suggestion , I request you
to take a look at my today’s blog , below
Warm Regards,

Who says IMPOSSIBLE ?
Yesterday , in my blog , I had suggested
a solution for collecting “ Parking Charges
“ from 20 lakh vehicles that get parked on Mumbai streets at night
And collect fees from 30 lakh ( or whatever number ) vehicles that
ply on these streets , during the day time
Then extend this E-Governance to 200 MILLION vehicle population in the entire
country
A suggestion that could earn , City
Municipalities / State Governments and the Central Government , ( may be ) , Rs 100 crores per day !
You can find the detailed proposal at :
It is quite possible that some of the
readers may entertain doubts as to the feasibility of my suggestion
For them , I reproduce below , a news
report from Economic Times ( 31 May 2017 ) :
SOON, SATELLITE NETWORK TO TAKE HD VIDEOS OF EARTH
FROM SPACE
A British company is
planning to launch a network of satellites that can take high resolution
coloured images and videos of the Earth, which could be used to track individual
vehicles from space.
A prototype spacecraft is set to be launched later this year for testing. Five more such platforms will follow in 2019.
The train of satellites will deliver rapid, high- resolution imagery of the planet in still and video formats. At best resolution, the images will capture features just
under a meter across
The images would enable
3D models of the ground to be constructed, and videos could be used to track moving objects
such as cars and other vehicles, according to UK-based company Earth-i.
UK-based manufacturer Surrey Satellite Technology Limited (SSTL) has developed a new class of Earth observation spacecraft codenamed Carbonite.
The first in this
series was built in just six
months and was launched in 2015. The lessons learned from that experience were then applied to the new
satellite of the Earth-i constellation.
"We worked on Carbonite-1 with SSTL and studied
the performance to help develop the technology for Carbonite-2 which we will be calling EiX2,"
said Richard Blain, CEO of Earth-i.
"As for the constellation, we will launch that in batches of five," Blain told 'BBC News'.
"Our baseline plan
is for the first batch to go into one orbital plane, and then for the following
batches to go into different planes, so that not only do we get a
high-frequency revisit to places on Earth but we also get to see places at
different times of the day," he said.
Earth-i's constellation would be the first European system to provide HD video of activity on the ground.

Dear Shri Gadkariji ,
Here is your opportunity to change
the face of TRANSPORTATION in India !
Please , grab it !

Dear Shri Misraji :
At the outset , congratulations on NaviC
No one need have doubt that this system
can – and will – bring unprecedented benefits to millions of citizens of India
I would highly appreciate , if you can
confirm the feasibility of my suggestion , in my following blog
Warm Regards,
Hemen Parekh

Un-Implementable
Laws : Unstoppable Corruption
Mumbai
Municipal Corporation is about to implement a “ Pay and Park “ policy for vehicles
THE POLICY
Parking
charges will differ – and depend upon :
· Day parking vs Night Parking ( 8 pm to 8
am )
(
Night time charges will be 50 % of Day time charges )
· Location Category
A
= Prime Areas by Footfall
B
= Busy Commercial Areas
C
= Other Areas
· Vehicle Category
4 wheelers = Buses / Cars ( Day time : Rs 3960 – 1320 pm )
2 Wheelers = Motorcycles ( Day time : Rs 1650 – 550 pm )
· All rates will be different on Sunday and Public
Holiday
·
· Only one slot will be available per car owner and
housing societies will have to get in touch with their local ward office to
know the particulars
·
· For each location category, there will be different
rates for “ Hourly Parking “, ranging as follows :
#
Cat A = Rs 60 / Cat B = Rs 40 / Cat C = Rs 20 ( for 4 wheelers )
#
Cat A = Rs 15 / Cat B = Rs 5 / Cat C = Rs 5 ( for 2 wheelers )
Charges
will change “ Parking Duration “ wise ( 1-3 hr / 3-6 hr / 6-12 hr / 12-24 hr )
· Parking will be FREE for certain designated areas
·
WILL APPLY TO
· There are some 30 lakh vehicles in Mumbai ,
comprising 17 lakh 2 wheelers and 9 lakh , 4 wheelers ( no idea about vehicles
in transit or being scrapped ! )
·
· Some 500 new vehicles are getting registered DAILY
·
· More than half of these are being parked on public
roads ( day and night )
·
· Mumbai boasts of 2000 km of public roads
·
·
WHO WILL ISSUE “ PARKING PERMITS “ ?
Some
“ humans “ sitting in RTO or some other Government Department
WHAT PROOF WILL THEY NEED ?
· Domicile
Certificate
·
· Aadhar Card
·
· Proof of Residential Addresses ( or Office
Address ) from your building Societies
·
· Car Registration Book ( proof that car belongs
to YOU )
·
· Letters from Society Secretaries confirming that
you are not allotted any parking space inside the Society premises
·
· Letter from RTO re number of vehicles registered in
your name
·
·
WHAT CRITERIA WILL BE USED WHILE GRANTING PARKING
PERMIT ?
· Number
of members in applicant’s family
·
· Number of vehicles in applicant’s family
·
· Duration of stay in Mumbai
·
· Duration of ownership of vehicles
·
· Location Category ( Resi / Office )
·
· Daily Travel direction and distance to be
covered ( to / from )
·
· Whether Petrol / Diesel or Electric Vehicle
·
· Reason for not using “ Public Transport “
·
· Why you cannot use a 2 wheeler in place of a 4
wheeler ?
·
· Why you cannot work at night instead of in day
time ? or a staggered shift ?
·
· If coming to work from outside Municipal Limits
, why can’t you leave your vehicle outside and take a taxi ?
·
· Why can’t you take your family for a movie on a Sunday
?
·
·
CAN A HUMAN REJECT YOUR CLAIM BASED ON THESE CRITERIA
?
· That is the whole idea ! How else can he “ oblige “ you – for
a “ consideration “ ?
CANNOT A SOFTWARE ALGORITHM ALLOT PARKING PERMITS
FAIRLY ?
· No big deal for a software to decide : “ Who “ gets to park, “ Where and When “
·
· If actual traffic pattern ( including ,” which “vehicle was stationary – parked – and
“ when “ – and for “ how
long “ ) can be compiled
for a period of 3 months , then , using BIG DATA ANALYTICS , this can be done
by a software
·
·
WHAT WILL BE REQUIRED ?
· Every vehicle to be fitted with a RFID sensor / GPS
locator app
·
· Exclusive Transponder on a Geo-Synchronous Satellite
CAN ANYTHING BE DONE TO AUTOMATE COLLECTION OF PARKING
CHARGES ?
· No problem ! Since the days of coin-operated Parking
Meters on footpaths , technology has made tremendous progress
·
· May be latest version of such meters do not require
coins but swipe of a card
· Only problem is that you need an army of Traffic
Policemen who can keep roaming Mumbai’s 2000 km of roads , to find out which
Parking Meter is showing RED FLAG , indicating expiry of parking time !
And
of course , “ hafta trade “ will flourish like anything !
WHAT OTHER TECHNOLOGIES CAN HELP ?
· Shri Nitin Gadkariji has already introduced automated
toll gates where car owners need not stop to pay the toll charges . Vehicles
which have installed pre-paid RFID sensors can just whiz pass ! Toll amount
gets deducted / transferred , automatically
There
is no technological difficulty in “ reversing “ this application for stationary
vehicles !
· Then there are drones !
An
army of drones can keep tab ( 24*7 ) of all stationary vehicles , find those
which are stationary at the same GPS location for more than 10 minutes and
deduct the appropriate “ parking charges “ from those pre-paid RFID sensors ,
installed in all vehicles . No rocket science this ! Vehicle batteries will
supply power to RFID chips
· And if you do not want to track / monitor / control ,
an army of DRONES , then just ask ISRO to launch a Geo-Synchronous Satellite to
do the same job for ALL the vehicles in ALL the cities of India !
WHY DO WE NEED TO DECIDE , WHO WILL / CAN , PARK WHERE
AND WHEN AND FOR HOW LONG ?
Let
vehicle owners park any number of vehicles , anywhere and at any time and for
any period – if they manage to find a parking slot !
As
long as vehicles are installed with pre-paid RFID chips , our Geo Satellite
will keep collecting parking charges and transfer to the bank account of Mumbai
Municipal Corporation !
NO
HUMAN INTERVENTION !
NO
ARBITRARY DECISIONS !
NO
NEED FOR MILLIONS OF APPLICATIONS TO BE PROCESSED !
NO
NEED FOR COLLECTION MACHINERY !
NO
ARMY OF TRAFFIC POLICE TO CHECK PARKING VIOLATIONS !
NO
SCOPE FOR HAFTAS !
And
ISRO will do all of this for , may be Rs 100 crores , which is dirt cheap !
If
all 20 crore vehicles get covered by this Satellite , cost per vehicle will be
just Rs 5 / -
HOW MUCH CAN BMC EARN USING SUCH A SATELLITE ?
Here
is an approx. estimate based on average of parking rates proposed by BMC :
# For Day / Night Parking Slots (
allotted )
· For 9 lakh 4 wheelers …..
Rs 237 Crore / month
· For 17 lakh 2 wheelers….
Rs 187 Crore / month
· For 4 lakh others…………..
Rs 60 Crore / month
# For hourly rate parking (
non-alloted )
· All types of
vehicles…….. Rs 300 Crore
/ month
TOTAL
…………………………… Rs 784 Crore
/ month ( Rs 9,408 Cr / year )
Now
it is not difficult for NDA Ministers concerned ( Shri Nitin Gadkariji / Shri
Venkaiah Naiduji ) to compute such “ Revenue “ figures for ALL other
municipalities and conclude that the Geo Satellite will pay for itself in justONE DAY !
Please
, do not misunderstand me
I
am not publishing this blog in order to influence the voters in tomorrow’s BMC
elections , to vote for that party which promises to implement my suggestion !

Leveraging
NaviC ?
-------------------------
{ Source : Times of India / 29 May 2017 }
------------------------
Navic = Navigation with Indian
Constellation
That is the “ Operational Name “ for :
The Indian Regional Navigation Satellite
System ( IRNSS ) , currently being
tested for accuracy and likely to be available in market “ for public “ , early
next year , as per Tapan Misra , the
director of Ahmedabad-based Space Application
Centre
IRNSS is our very own GPS system , with a
position accuracy of 5 METRE , as compared to the American GPS (
which we currently use ) with an accuracy of 20-30 METRE !
Adds Tapan Misra
:
“ We have developed digital chips to
miniaturize technology ( for use in mobiles and handsets ) and experiments are
on them . The system is being tested all across the country
This indigenous navigation system ,
which cost ISRO, Rs 1420 crore,
will aid terrestrial , aerial and marine navigation , VEHICLE TRACKING and FLEET
MANAGEMENT , disaster management , mapping and geodetic data capture , VISUAL and VOICE NAVIGATION for drivers “
CONTEXT :
A news report ,two days back said that
Mumbai Municipality collected Rs 40 crore
in April 2017 , under its new PARKING POLICY
, from operation of 18 Parking Plots in south Mumbai
This compares with Rs 21 crore collected in March 2017 ( a 90 %
increase )
I presume , each of this parking plot
could accommodate , 100 cars
So , for 18 plots , that would work out
to 1,800 cars ( round of to 2,000 )
But ,city of Mumbai boasts of 30 LAKH vehicles , of which , close to 20 LAKH are parked on the streets ( outside
the compound walls of buildings )
That means , 1000 TIMES more vehicles are still to be covered ( needing
18,000 Parking Plots ? )
And , if some magical way can be found (
to collect Rs 2,000 per month from each vehicle which gets parked in those parking
plots – and that too , only for parking at night ! ) , that could yield MCGM , a neat sum of Rs 400 CRORE per month !
PROBLEM :
There is no way , MCGM can find those 18,000 Parking Lots anywhere in the city !
SOLUTION :
Just ask Shri Tapan Misra :
“ Sir , can you get NaviC to track all the vehicles in Mumbai ( to
begin with – and to extend to all the cities of India , by 2020 ) , as
recommended in :
Where , I have said :
WHY DO WE NEED TO DECIDE , WHO WILL / CAN , PARK WHERE
AND WHEN AND FOR HOW LONG ?
Let
vehicle owners park any number of vehicles , anywhere and at any time and for
any period – if they manage to find a parking slot !
As
long as vehicles are installed with pre-paid RFID chips , our Geo Satellite will keep collecting parking charges and transfer to
the bank account of Mumbai Municipal Corporation !
NO
HUMAN INTERVENTION !
NO
ARBITRARY DECISIONS !
NO
NEED FOR MILLIONS OF APPLICATIONS TO BE PROCESSED !
NO
NEED FOR COLLECTION MACHINERY !
NO
ARMY OF TRAFFIC POLICE TO CHECK PARKING VIOLATIONS !
NO
SCOPE FOR HAFTAS !
Dear Shri Gadkariji :
What
I have suggested can become a reality , only through your celebrated “ Out – of – the – Box “ , thinking !
