Assettrackr-Gps Tracking



With advancements in GPS technologies in India, few municipal corporations are planning to use GPS tracking to track its garbage collection vehicles.Each locality has assigned multiple auto tippers to collect the garbage. But still the corporations keeps getting complains of left over garbage because currently there is no mechanism to track the efficincy of these
auto tippers. 

With GPS units now fitted in the autos, the councillors can track the garbage vehicles in real time on their laptops. They can also check the routes taken by the vehicle on any date, to verify that the neighboorhood was actually visited by the vehicle. Some corporations are going further and installing cameras as well on the vehicles. This will help them to check images and video feed online and will improve accountability.

"We have been working hard to keep the city clean. There have been many complaints that the tippers are parked in one place and do not take rounds of colonies. This has given rise to a serious sanitation crisis. So, we will start tracking vehicle from next week and ensure that they collect garbage from all areas," Surjan from Delhi East Municipal Corporation said.

Few corporations are further planning to use RFID readers in each of their Garbage collection vehicles. Each house/apartment in the localitywill be provided with unique RFID cards and collection of garbage from a house / apartment is confirmed by swiping the RFID card. If such ambitious plans of the corporations goes through, surely we can expect to see very clean Indian cities in future.
