Use of satellites reduces deaths in Ahmedabad

The BISAG-N organization could have solved the problem of roads across Gujarat, but it handed it over to the central government

With the help of Google Earth, success has been achieved in reducing the traffic problem in Ahmedabad by creating dividers at traffic junctions. Due to the absence of dividers at the junctions, there has been a 23.90% reduction in fatal accidents. Accidents were reduced by 8 percent. The Gujarat government had formed its BYSEC organization by spending crores of rupees.

As soon as Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister, this institution was handed over to the central government. If he had been given the responsibility of solving the traffic problem of all the roads of Gujarat, thousands of lives could have been saved. Instead, the BYSEC organization is being used politically.

The central government has given the Gujarat government a good institute in Gandhinagar to provide satellite data. If a plan based on ISRO’s satellite images is made across Gujarat, even more than Google, then thousands of deaths can be prevented.

Traffic reduced at the traffic junction. Accident cases also saw an overall decline of 8 percent. Which shows that Google Earth technology has achieved significant success in solving the traffic problem of Ahmedabad East.

Ahmedabad East DCP Safin Hasan is using Google Earth images to solve traffic problems at important traffic junctions of Ahmedabad East.

The junction is located in the eastern region of Ahmedabad

Thakkarbapa Nagar, CTM, Dafnala, Haridarshan Cross Road, Sutrana Factory, Naroda Seat, Krishnanagar, Khodiyarnagar, Hatkeshwar, Naroda Mukti Dham, Rakhiyal Char Rasta, Bhulabhai Char Rasta, Pirana Char Rasta project was implemented.

With the help of Google Earth, live traffic movement was checked at all the junctions at different times. Due to lack of dividers at most of the junctions, drivers used to take turns while crossing the road. Due to which accidents were happening every day. There was also traffic.

Based on traffic reports at all junctions, dividers were constructed at most of the traffic junctions, which forced drivers to take a little detour while taking random turns. Thus, doing other work including installing dividers at all junctions gave better results than expected.

Police digital data
While working as a police officer in Gandhinagar, HK Joshi has digitized police areas of many cities of Gujarat. He has prepared digital maps of police station boundary, routes, intersections, turns etc. He has to do this based on CEPT data.

Actually this should have been done by BISAG. But BISAG is now becoming political.

ISRO
If Ahmedabad police has requested Ahmedabad ISRO then they can prepare traffic junctions of the whole city. They measure 1 meter based on satellite images.

BISAG-N
BISAG-N provides map-based geographic information. Database design and development of GIS system, map creation, updating and refinement, software development and optimization, system creation.

BYSAG-N also provides complete GIS solutions, offering GIS system development services as well as hardware and software. Large-scale mapping covering ortho-photo generation is geospatial.

The Gujarat government established a trust called Bhaskaracharya National Institute of Space Applications and Geo-Informatics Society in Gandhinagar to use satellite data. For which the Gujarat government has spent crores of rupees. Based on its data, the Gujarat government was able to manage the traffic of 250 cities and highways. But after Narendra Modi became the Prime Minister, this institution has been handed over to the central government.

Many road mapping works have been done in Gujarat by the BYSEC-N institution.

Scam
The map of Dholera International Airport was prepared. Its runway was thrown into the sea. However, that plan was passed. Director TP Singh later changed it. Although he is a director, he never signs the plans prepared by BYSEC. The department to which the work was assigned forces to sign.

Land Re-survey

Bisec is being held responsible for the scam in the land survey. Measurement was not done using GPS while on the ground. He employs ITI boys. If anyone protests, he is fired. Those who speak against him are thrown out. He works only in the name of CM Modi. He employs temporary employees.(Google translation from Gujarati)
