Hi Friends,

Even as I launch this today ( my 80th Birthday ), I realize that there is yet so much to say and do. There is just no time to look back, no time to wonder,"Will anyone read these pages?"

With regards,

AT LEAST , LISTEN TO ARCHITECT OF AADHAR !


The  Next  Big  Thing

=================

Following is an extract of an article by Shri Nandan Nilekani , in Hindustan Times ( 14 Nov )


“ FasTags could be the next big thing “


In this article , Shri Nilekani has made following suggestions to “ solve the many of the vehicular problems we’re facing now

=========================================================
FIRST
FasTags can implement congestion pricing . The pricing itself can be dynamic to affect demand

==========================================================
SECOND
The same FasTags can enable the government to have lower congestion pricing for those who are pooling to work

==========================================================
THIRD
These tags can regulate parking, while simultaneously creating a revenue opportunity for cities . FasTags can ensure that a no-parking sign is not just a warning, but a serious penalty for those looking to park illegally

Individuals and businesses can ‘ switch on ‘ temporary parking spaces during peak hours

==========================================================
FOURTH
The FasTag readers can also be used to implement many of the policy recommendations of the NGT

PUC ( Pollution Under Control ),can be linked to the FasTag accounts and a tag without a valid PUC can be fined automatically when it crosses  a reader

===========================================================
FIFTH
Government lacks granular traffic data needed to make better decisions

With a trusted implementation of FasTag readers, the government can get such anonymized data directly from the ground .

Basically an invisible toll booth that doesn’t collect a toll , but captures every time any car crosses it . This data can be immensely powerful when used correctly




In the past , I have sent to the Transport Minister / NITI Aayog / Municipal Corporations etc . similar  suggestions , through E Mails ( listed below ).
Even if they did not find time to read my emails ( - forget about an acknowledgement ! ) , I do hope that they will , at least , listen to Shri Nilekani  !
