Business Problem
This government agency oversaw numerous private transport operators managing approximately 2.7 million miles (4.4 million kilometers) of passenger traffic annually. With a significant number of women passengers using these services at various hours, safety and security became a pressing concern. The agency sought a solution to ensure the safety and security of female passengers by tracking their intended trip routes and providing alerts for any deviations.
Outcome
- Improved peace and security for female passengers using transport agencies.
- Surveillance of driver patterns & driver behavior creating accountability.
- Wrong Route Identification & Alerts.
- Traffic Congestion Identification.
- Vehicle reliability and failure tracking.
Solutions
- OTSI developed a comprehensive real-time multi-mode monitoring system for transport vehicles using advanced IoT devices.
- The vehicle tracking system transmits data packets to the server every 10 seconds during distress situations and every 30 seconds under normal conditions.
- It detects violations or instances of over-speeding and sends alerts to the RTA and Police department.
- Additionally, a remote monitoring system evaluates vehicle performance and reliability.
- The system collects passenger-provided information before the trip begins and alerts to any deviations.
- For added security, the application includes a panic button.
