Dear Dr Giri,
At the outset , many thanks for your
prompt response
To answer your questions :
100 % of the persons crossing the tracks , carry
a mobile phone ( may not be a smart phone )
I have no doubt about Authority permitting , as
long as the EMP does not hurt the jaywalker but only “ kills “ his mobile
! Even Supreme Court will endorse this “ benign “ solution
Along a few kilometres of Mumbai tracks , walls
were built on both the sides a few years ago, but over a period of time,
slum-dwellers living on either side of the tracks, made holes in those walls
Recently
, Railway authorities have built 4 / 5 , ROB ( Rail over bridges ) , which
people use only sparingly , since crossing the tracks without having to climb
stairs is so much easier and saves a few minutes of time ( crucial when the
train you want to board is approaching ! )
Then
, last week , there was news that Railway Authority is planning to construct
walls along some 500 km of train tracks on 1340 km long , Mumbai – Delhi route
, wherever it passes through towns
That
will cost Rs 500 crore ( at Rs 1 crore per km = Approx $ 154,000 per km )
Going
by the past record of the Railways in such matter , even if this project passes
all approval –and opposition from vested interests - , it will take 3 / 4 years
to materialize !
I
have a feeling that EMP based system will cost much less ( per km ) , since ,
on both the sides of the tracks , 30 feet tall poles are already existing,
supporting cross-members ( girders for supporting overhead electric cables )
It
would also be much faster ( a matter of 6 months ? ) to install those EMP
devices on top of these poles and there would be no worry about sabotage /
damage by the jaywalkers !
As far as “ Fencing “ is concerned , obviously “
Electric Fences “ are out of question since Opposition Political parties will
use this for “ Scare Mongering “ !
On
the other hand , since State Assembly Elections are due in Maharashtra , next
year ( along with National Election for the Lok Sabha in May 2019 ) , an EMP
based solution would be an absolute “ Vote Grabber “ ! Both the governments
would jump for it !
If
I am not wrong , invisible Radio Frequency fences have following limitations
:
#
Jaywalker to carry a ” Receiver “ ( I presume , Mobile itself could be one )
#
Laying underground ( or overhead ? ) cables on both the side of the tracks to
create a field
#
Only a “ Warning Sound “ ( when crossing ) but no permanent damage to
cell phone
Most important thing is the practical
feasibility of using a low powered EMP as suggested by me – something which only you can confirm , with
your vast knowledge of the subject matter – and information on commercial
availability of such inexpensive devices
Looking forward to your response,
With warm regards,

What percentage of Jay walkers carry cell phones and other
digital devices?
Will the authorities permit such an EMP device?
Why nit erect barriers/fences where people cross train tracks.
In America, people erect even invisible fences to keep animals
out of their properties.

Dear Dr Giri,
You may be in a position to save the lives of some
2,200 persons who die each year by getting run-over by the local trains in
Mumbai , while crossing the tracks on foot
In the last 10 years , some 22,289 persons lost their
lives this way
For more than a year , I have written to the Railway
Minister to examine my following suggestion on
how to save those lives
Following are those emails
In short , I have suggested :
Along the tracks , at every 100 meters , mount on some
pole ( on both sides of the track ) , a small black box , containing ( among
other electronics / CCTV camera / GPS etc ) ,
A LOW POWERED EMP DEVICE
As soon as a jay walker approaches the track ,
this EMP will send out a pulse which will fry the electronics of the smart
phone in his pocket ( without causing any injury to the person concerned )
I call this : A
DIGITAL DEATH
If this can be pulled off , that news will go viral
and no one will venture near the tracks any more !
Is this possible ?
If you think it is, then I would sit in a “ hunger
strike “ ( although, I am close to 85 ) , till Shri Piyush Goyalji ( our
Railway Minister /
) agrees to meet me
With Regards,
hemen
