After E-way horror, MSRDC to use GPS to rein in speedsters

The agency, in collaboration with a major telecom company, will install trackers in selected vehicles starting February 10 as part of a pilot project, and data related to traffic violations, including speeding, will be monitored at toll plazas
The death toll on what is the vaunted as the country’s first six-lane concrete, high-speed, access controlled tolled expressway is stacking up further and further every few days. While many have blamed the dividers, which are either missing or not high enough in various parts, Maharashtra State Road Development Corporation (MSRDC) has a different prognosis for what ails Mumbai-Pune Expressway, and a different cure. The agency intends to install Global Positioning System (GPS) trackers in vehicles to temper fast driving on the route, which it says is the crux of the problem.
