CTU to track buses through digital map

A senior CCE official said: “The map will show the starting point of a bus and will follow it till its journey ends for the day. For the police control room,it will show the movement of a PCR van.

This digital map tells the routes of entire city. The project should be implemented within a month.”

While the police control room was inaugurated recently,the project regarding GPS in CTU buses is still to take off.

The work on the project has been going on for three years and now reached final stages where the administration is following it up with the telecom subscribers.

CTU Director M L Sharma said,“We are almost ready to implement the project and the delay is due to the drop rate of both MTNL and BSNL. Once we decide the service provider,we will implement the project.”

With the help of the digital map,the CTU will also be able to install a digital meter at a few selected bus stops,which will indicate the time next bus takes to arrive.

The map is already helping the police control room in keeping a track of the PCR,and send the nearest PCR to any spot of crime in much lesser time.
