In an effort to ensure the efficacy of the public transport system, the Punjab government has introduced the Vehicle Location Tracking Device (VLTD) system in all passenger service vehicles, including buses, mini-buses, and taxis among others from today.
The decision was taken by Punjab transport minister Laljit Singh Bhullar during a review meeting of the offices of Regional Transport Authorities on July 20. During the meeting, the state government also decided to upload joint time-tables of buses on its Vahan Portal under its ‘One Bus One Permit’ scheme.
What is Vehicle Location Tracking Device?
The VLTD system -- as part of which mobile data devices are mounted on the vehicles -- allows tracking and controlling of a transport mode via an online computer on a 24X7 basis. The system works on GPS technology. Using this system, it is possible to have an instantaneous and history tracking of vehicle speeds, the routes they followed and even the stopping points.
