Bengaluru: This chip can make bus drivers fall in line!

Deccan Chronicle  

Bengaluru: We have seen and suffered haphazardly parked vehicles, especially buses, leading to traffic jams on our roads during our daily commute. A significant part of the problem is undesignated parking slots for these public buses, believes Mr Chetan Prasad, a 52-year-old innovator and entrepreneur from Bengaluru. He has come up with a technical solution which, when fitted to buses and bus stands, forces the driver to park at the exact location of the stop. Called Invisible Bus Bay, Mr Prasad says he has been working on it for the past 15 years and this is the most advanced version. The crucial part of the technology comes in a pair of microprocessors and needs to be fitted into the bus and a pole at the bus stop.
