Guest guest Posted March 20, 2005 Report Share Posted March 20, 2005 Namah Shivaya, May Amma's Grace lift you on Garuda skybus and transport you to Amma Lokah! Jai Ma! Amma's institute develops Wi-Fi system for skybus [india News]: Thiruvananthapuram, March 18 : A technology instituted owned by spiritual guru Mata Amritanandamayi has successfully developed and deployed a new Wi-Fi based telematics system for Konkan Railway's skybus in Goa. Amrita Research Labs (ARL), the R&D wing of the Coimbatore based Amrita Vishwa Vidyapeetham, launched its product for the 1.6 km test track of the skybus in Goa's Madgaon on Thursday. The technology is expected to significantly benefit state transport corporations, fleet operators and railways in vehicle tracking, fleet scheduling and traffic management, a statement from the mutt headquarters in Kerala said. Telematics is the application of wireless and mobile communication technologies in vehicular electronics. Big cities and metros worldwide are exploring alternative approaches aided by new technologies to reduce traffic congestion. Until recently, Telematics was restricted mostly to aiding navigation in luxury cars. The development of Wi-Fi based Telematics by ARL promises to make it a viable and affordable alternative for deployment in public transport and railways. Additional features include security, voice and video communication, internet access, public announcements, dynamic display of vehicle routes and synchronisation. Of late, Mata Amritanandamayi has forayed into several new areas like technology, medicine and professional education. The next venture is Amrita TV, a 24 hour channel giving emphasis to news and multi religion programmes, to be launched on April 14. --Indo-Asian News Service http://www.newkerala.com/news-daily/news/features.php?action=fullnews&id=87326 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
