What For ?

 

For using AI technology to deliver better / cleaner city to Pune citizen

 

 

How ?

 

Here is that report :

 

PMC to use AI to resolve garbage dumping in open   /   Eco Times  /  05 Nov 2021

Extract :

 

The Pune Municipal Corporation (PMC) plans to use artificial intelligence to resolve civic issues

 

The Pune civic administration has carried out a pilot project to deal with problems like dumping of garbage at Yerawda

 

The civic body has identified 150 public spots, where dumping is rampant. The civic body intends to fine errant citizens defacing public places, using AI

Officials said that the Civic body plans to use,

 

#   Data Analytics,

 

#   AI 

 

#   Machine Learning ( ML ) ,

 

#   Satellite Imagery, and

 

#   e-Governance,

 

-       to regularize Property Tax , Illegal Constructions etc

 

Kunal Khemnar, additional commissioner, PMC, said that the chronic spots would be identified using TECHNOLOGY

 

He said that a Software has been developed keeping a watch on garbage disposal.

 

The spots identified using Satellite Images would be cross verified by staffers

 

The offenders would be identified with the help of  CCTV footages. They will be fined

 

The PMC plans to take the help of TECHNOLOGY to collect Property Tax

 

Even the properties out of the tax ambit will be added into the tax net using TECHNOLOGY

 

 

 

 

Dear Dr Kemnarji,

 

 

Congratulations for demonstrating to City Municipal Councillors all over India, how they too can leverage TECHNOLOGY for making their towns / cities, SMART

 

One of the major problems facing the citizens, is encroachment of footpaths, forcing them to walk on the roads and endangering their lives, apart from slowing down the vehicular traffic

 

I urge you to examine the feasibility of my suggestion, sent through my following e-mail :

 

Ø Algorithm based Salary ?.................. [ 19 May 2016 ]

 

Extract :

 

Leaving aside the last question, technically it is not all that difficult to monitor those footpaths, 24 hours of the day

 

Mumbai Police is installing some 2,000 CCTV cameras all over the city to capture the terrorists

 

London has 500,000 CCTV cameras to cover every nook and corner, 24 hours !

 

So monitoring footpaths of Mumbai, by installing 50,000 CCTV cameras, on 24 hour basis, is not a problem

 

After installing those 50,000 video cameras, use following software ( embedded in a computerized CCTV network ) to compute the monthly salary of each ward officer :

 

 

Salary Payable / Payroll Salary  =

 

 

( Length of footpath in his ward, clear of encroachment  x  Percentage of time free of encroachment )

 

      divided by 

 

( Total Length of footpath x  Total Hours in that Month )

ie :  Ratio of 

 

" Clear Kilometer*Hours  /  Total Kilometer*Hours "

 

 

Then expect a miracle of E-Governance thru innovative digitization !

 

Remember , Algorithms are transparent / unbiased / impartial , unlike human beings  !
