RE: NU6 by MR, Various, GPS,

Hi Prof,

Below are my NU6 ideas:

1.       GPS Navigation systems in public buses/jeeps

These will be used to keep track of: 

a.          speeding violations

b.         pick-up and drop-off at correct stations

c.          use of correct route

d.         abandoned/overstaying  vehicles

The navigation systems can be connected to celphones, laptops and other monitoring equipment. 

Benefits to bus and jeepney owners/operators includes:

a.        Keep track on the number of trips

b.      Keeping track on the number of violations (per driver or bus)

c.       Real-time notification for any violations

d.      Locates abandoned or stolen vehicles

Benefits to traffic enforcers/MMDA:

a.        Real-time notification

b.      Streamlines the ticket issuance and payment (and frees up enforcers for other types of work)

a.        It eliminates recording of violations on a piece of paper

b.      Automatic/online  ticket issuance to the operators/owners directly

c.       Settlement can be done online as well through bank payment transfers

c.       Locates abandoned or stolen vehicles

d.      Using it also allows engines to be turned off if vehicle is deemed stolen or poses a threat to the general public or if violations are too many

e.      Moreover, it will help instill discipline and order to the drivers and our traffic systems.

f.        Removes the personal transactions such as ‘lagay’ and ‘palangis’

This is also useful for car insurance agencies as there is a log of actual date, speed and other information during claim and eliminates some investigation work at their end. 4 ( am involved with such a company)

2.        TERMINAL FEES in airports to be added to the airfare tickets immediately to remove a separate queue at the airport when leaving for abroad.

Collection can be done by setting up an account where airlines and travel agencies can deposit the payments.  The passport number can be used as the traceability number where the immigration database, at least the portion that is not confidential, can be linked to the airlines and travel agencies to ensure proper accounting. 3

3.        Integrate the E-PASS of SLEX and E-TAG of NLEX so motorists can enjoy the benefits of auto-toll deduction either direction they go.  If it can be done by the banking sector and telecom sector, the toll system which only employs the basic of arithmetic is easier to deal with. 3

4.       Shoes/Sandals  with variable heights

Three main components:

a.        Basic flat shoes with slots at the soles for fitting the heels

b.      Heels (which can be varying in height – best type is wedges), it should have a protrusion (or locking mechanism)  that will fit exactly in the slot of the basic shoes

c.       Cushions for the soles put on top after locking in the heels. 4

5.        Imaging Techniques for  Fast Foods/Cafeterias

Use of imaging techniques/softwares to automatically calculate amount of ordered foods rather than punching on a cash register one by one.   A camera  can be placed on top of a table and scan a tray for its content and automatically.  The software can identify the food and automatically calculate the total amount of food ordered 4

6.        Vertical Parking for motorcycles/bicycles for space constraint areas:

A hexagonal pole with slots (s) for the vehicle and a bar to keep the vehicle in place. 4
