Remote controlling DTC drivers

  • 01/12/2002

The Delhi Transport Corporation (DTC) plans to install satellite receivers in its fleet to discipline bus drivers and get them to ply as per the time table. The receivers, part of a global positioning system (GPS), would transmit signals to a satellite that would in turn relay information to a central control room.This would enable the control room to keep a minute-by-minute account of the positions of the buses on a digital map of the city and also detect if a driver is over speeding, skipping a stop or going off route.
