How safe are our transport interchanges? In a first in India, the IIT Bombay on Friday said that it had taken up a project to use crowd-sourced info to give safety and security ratings for public transport interchanges. It also planned to build an app to suggest the best access route as per the security index and live crowd-sourced security info along the last-mile route.
“This is the first attempt in India to use such crowd-sourced info for the safety and security ratings of Urban Transit Transfer Points (UTTPs). It will support transit users in making well-informed decisions on safe and secure first and last-mile connections. The project, TUTEM (Technologies for Urban Transit to Enhance Mobility and Safe Accessibility), to enhance the last-mile security & safety of commuters will provide safe access en route to transit stations through mobile apps. It is an Asian Development Bank-funded project,” a spokesperson said.
