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 !
