Times of India ( 12 Feb )
carries following news report :
“ Govt seeks new tech to curb speeding “
The road transport ministry’s
approval for higher speed limits for cars, buses and trucks on expressways and
higher limit for buses on highways is seen as a formality as officials concede
that lax enforcement had made violation of earlier limits widespread. This
has prompted the government to explore new technologies to prevent speeding.
“Road accident data indicates
that majority of vehicles involved in crashes on national highways are speeding.
However, there is no scientific evidence to prove it.
So, until you have a proper
system in place to catch speedsters, you need to find innovative ways to prevent people from speeding,” an
official said.
While Electronic Control Units
can do this task, there are also technologies that automatically control the speed of a vehicle based on its
location determined by a GPS device.
This can be of great help in
reducing speed of vehicles near schools, hospitals and accident-prone
locations.
I urge the concerned authorities to implement
suggestion mentioned in my following blogs :
