Some 3 years back, I sent following suggestion to our Policy Makers :
Transport
: an Integrated Logistic Plan ? ………………[ 20 Nov 2018 ]
Its main objectives are :
# Drastic reduction in pollution caused by ICE vehicles on our roads (
some 240 million plus )
# Superior Traffic Management
# Automatic ( no human intervention ) 24x7 collection of TRANS-TAX
using vehicle-based RFID sensors
and
vehicle tracking
Since then, I must have sent dozens of follow-up e-mails
It is possible that the concerned Policy Makers did not think my
suggestion was “ technically feasible “
May be they thought it would be a hugely expensive project involving big
risk
Cannot blame them for being conservative when it comes to spending public
tax money
But with each passing day, its “ technical feasibility “ is
improving, with more and more start-ups coming out with platforms for satellite-based
“ tracking “ of objects
on the surface of the earth
Following are examples :
Skylo
partners fish coop federation for IoT solutions for fishery, aquaculture /
BL / 02 Aug
Extract :
Ø The job
also involves monitoring oxygen and pH levels of water in ponds across
States
Ø The
advanced solutions provided by Skylo for marine fishing and aquaculture
include,
#
2-way messaging
# SoS
alerts
# Fish-catch reporting
# Sensor integration for capturing different parameters on the
quality of water for fish-farming
# Empowering the fish farmers to make more informed and
immediate
decisions
Ø FISHCOPFED
will make Skylo’s
cost-effective , ubiquitous technology available to its 33 lakh fishers
members, bringing about the DIGITIZATION of small-scale fishing
and fish farming in India
Ø Skylo
is providing an end-to-end DATA SOLUTION to DIGITIZE fleets and aquaculture
farms at DISRUPTIVELY AFFORDABLE PRICES, to anyone who wants it
Ø Skylo will
boost the safety of fishers and revamp the PRODUCTIVITY and REACH of the sector
several fold

GalaxEye
: Computing at Space’s Edge / Business Line
/ 02 Aug 2021
Extract :
Ø GalaxEye,
a tech start-up incubated at IIT-Madras, intends to launch 14 earth observation
satellites to give an image of, say, an agricultural field. The first of these
satellites, which will orbit the earth at an altitude of 500 km, is expected to
go up in 2023.
Ø Second, GalaxEye
will use ‘edge computing’ to
process the information gathered by the sensors. Edge computing is an emerging field where the computing is done wherever the data is — as opposed to computing at a centralised
server or a cloud. This means that images collected by the satellites are processed on-board and only the data relevant to the user — GalaxEye’s
customer — is beamed down to the earth. This saves storage and bandwidth.
Ø GalaxEye’s technicians will uplink instructions
— algorithms — to the onboard computers, depending on the needs of the
customer. For example, there could be one set of algorithms for processing data
for an agricultural field and another for a construction site, says Suyash Singh,
co-founder of GalaxEye. (suyash@galaxeye.space )
Ø To launch the satellite, GalaxEye is in talks
with another IIT-Madras start-up, Agnikul
Cosmos, ( curious@agnikul.in ) which
is building rockets for satellite launch services. Incidentally, both Agnikul
and GalaxEye are mentored by the entrepreneurs’ common
teacher, Satya Chakravarthy,
Professor of Aerospace Engineering, IIT-Madras. (src@ae.iitm.ac.in )
=============================================
Dear Shri Gadakariji,
I urge you to ask Prof Satya Chakravarthy / Shri Suyash Singh, about feasibility
of incorporating into their 14 satellites,
# processes
for sensing data from vehicle-based sensors
# computational
capability
# databases of 240 million vehicles
# messaging
- alerting …etc
- in respect of
my TRANS-TAX suggestion
You have already implemented this partially in RFID based automatic toll collection from
vehicles plying on highways, which has enabled TOLL TAX collection of ,
# 0n 25 Feb 2021……............................ Rs 104 Crore ( in one day )
# Expected collection for current year
….. Rs 34,000 crore
# Expected to reach in 3 to 4 years……….. Rs 134,000 crore ( Rs 1.34
Lakh*Crore per year )
With regards,
