SRN – Smart
  Rickshaw Network
MISSION STATEMENT – Targeting rickshaw drivers of BOP
section from developing countries as micro workers to
provide real time traffic, landmark and tourist hot spot
updates & act as advertisement medium; which will help
in uplifting their living and at same time addressing the
problem of Traffic Congestion & Mobile Recycling.



                                 By - Aadhar Bhalinge
Problem Background
Rickshaw Drivers Economic Condition:
• In cities across South Asia, due to absence of adequate mass transport systems the ubiquitous
    rickshaw dominates traffic tangled streets. But Rickshaw/Taxi drivers in India, Bangladesh, Nepal,
    Pakistan, Egypt and other developing countries are extremely poor and most of them live below
    the poverty line.
• Following statistical numbers will add more to this:
      – "Taxi drivers are among the 55% of the population living under the poverty line of $2 a
         day," reported in a CNN article (Egypt).
      – Similar is the story of approx. 10 million Indian Rickshaw Drivers who earn approx. $4 a day.

Challenges of gathering Real Time Traffic Data in developing countries:
• In developed countries, Traffic data is collected by entities like GPS product companies, Traffic
    Info Providers & Government Traffic Units by using modern fiber-optic cables embedded in the
    pavement to sensor boxes along the roads or through Advanced Traffic System (ATS).
• But such high tech sensor systems require high installation and maintenance costs which are
    not available & feasible on road conditions of developing countries and thus to determine
    real time traffic is a challenge for this entities.
• At the same time customers of the GSP companies in developing countries want real time traffic
    updates due to increasing traffic congestion. And it is no more just a matter of good to have
    feature but a necessity of time. Also the maps lack detailed landmarks.
• Some companies like Google maps try to get passive/automatic traffic information from existing
    users using FCD (Floating Car Data) method, but it acts just as a helper to conventional source
    because of its inaccuracy due to factors like direction, altitude, congestion, weather conditions,
    slippery road conditions, etc., which can affect speed of vehicle but it will be treated incorrectly
    as a ‘Traffic Jam’.
Solution
•    ‘SRN’ is a solution to all these problems. It targets this section(rickshaw drivers) of BOP as micro
     workers, to uplift their living and at same time provide real time traffic data, landmark and
     tourist hot spot updates, advertisement medium to Clients - GPS navigation product companies
     like Nokia Maps, MapMyIndia, etc., Traffic Info Providers like Inrix, Government Traffic Unit,
     Advertisers, Tourism Industry in developing countries.
•    SRN is ‘by’ and ‘for’ rickshaw drivers – it empowers existing ‘rickshaw union’ with technology to
     act as entrepreneurs and help rickshaw drivers to gain additional income using a Franchise Model.
•    SRN makes sure that the registered Rickshaw drivers are SMART, i.e. they have required skills,
     train them and check if they are reliable source (checking Driving license & other driver details) for
     ensuring the Quality & Reliability of Traffic, Landmark & Tourist Data.
•    Rickshaw drivers cover all most all roads and areas, and are on continuous move from day to
     night, they are aware of most locations & which ones are currently popular. This existing
     information pool can be of great use to clients. SRN aims to tap this information pool.
•    For traffic updates – drivers use SRN Client application on smart phones(with GPS); they can send
     the traffic status with a tap(touch screen)/voice command when rickshaw is halted for some time
     like in traffic / when traffic signal is red/ after dropping the passenger to destiny.
•   SRN Client application will automatically detect the GPS coordinates, road & area; driver just have
    to input the traffic status. This data is then send via internet/auto sms (if net unavailable).
•   SNR Server application at SRN organization will automatically calculate the Traffic Output. Similar
    result from majority of microworkers for a given location will be considered accurate. Traffic update
    will be send to clients at regular time intervals as per client’s requirement.
•   Drivers can send landmark (name: manual, coordinates: auto calculated) & tourist spot (hotels,
    stores, etc.) updates (SpotPopularity: manual, coordinates: auto calculated ) even after work hours.
•   Rickshaw advertisement can be printed after work hours, no special work required from drivers.

                              mircoworkers.                                      detected drivers will be blacklisted.
Novelty and Innovation
• For the first time, rickshaw drivers network will be utilized to act as source for real-time traffic/
   landmark / tourist hot spot updates and advertisement using microwork model and mobile
   technology, in developing countries.
• Intelligent ‘Safe Mode’ feature for safe driving and easy to use mobile application design.

Benefits
• Additional Income for the Rickshaw/Taxi Drivers from developing countries who are living below
   poverty line, and will get a chance to improve their economic status with easy to do micro jobs.
• Reliable Data Quality because SRN will register only qualified/verified/trained drivers for the jobs.
• Cost Effective For Clients to get real time traffic updates, as compared to installation & maintenance
   costs of road sensors.
• Expandable Microworker Target Group for traffic & landmark updates - newspaper sellers, road side
   hawkers, etc.
• Mobile Recycling = Environmental Consciousness.

 Challenges
• Safety – Updating traffic status manually through sms / typing can be unsafe, but with the help of
    smart phone & smart mobile application, input can be got from single tap(touch screen)/ voice
    command. Safe Mode(speed check) & proper mobile stand position will help in Quick & Safe process.
• Fraud can happen if workers keep sending updates continuously, this can be controlled by having a
    minimum time interval check of consecutive traffic/landmark update for same location. Secondly,
    depending on traffic/landmark update requirement a maximum cap can be set on number of updates
    per day. This controls will limit the number of updates required & in turn will act as a safety measure.
• Providing smart phones to drivers can add to initial setup cost, but still it will be cheap as compared to
    conventional traffic setups (ATS). To reduce this cost further, we can use recycled mobile phones +
    phones got from charity organizations – unused phones donated by people.

Problem Background Rickshaw Drivers Economic Condition: • In cities across South Asia, due to absence of adequate mass transport systems the ubiquitous rickshaw dominates traffic tangled streets. But Rickshaw/Taxi drivers in India, Bangladesh, Nepal, Pakistan, Egypt and other developing countries are extremely poor and most of them live below the poverty line. • Following statistical numbers will add more to this: – "Taxi drivers are among the 55% of the population living under the poverty line of $2 a day," reported in a CNN article (Egypt). – Similar is the story of approx. 10 million Indian Rickshaw Drivers who earn approx. $4 a day. Challenges of gathering Real Time Traffic Data in developing countries: • In developed countries, Traffic data is collected by entities like GPS product companies, Traffic Info Providers & Government Traffic Units by using modern fiber-optic cables embedded in the pavement to sensor boxes along the roads or through Advanced Traffic System (ATS). • But such high tech sensor systems require high installation and maintenance costs which are not available & feasible on road conditions of developing countries and thus to determine real time traffic is a challenge for this entities. • At the same time customers of the GSP companies in developing countries want real time traffic updates due to increasing traffic congestion. And it is no more just a matter of good to have feature but a necessity of time. Also the maps lack detailed landmarks. • Some companies like Google maps try to get passive/automatic traffic information from existing users using FCD (Floating Car Data) method, but it acts just as a helper to conventional source because of its inaccuracy due to factors like direction, altitude, congestion, weather conditions, slippery road conditions, etc., which can affect speed of vehicle but it will be treated incorrectly as a ‘Traffic Jam’.
  • 3. Solution • ‘SRN’ is a solution to all these problems. It targets this section(rickshaw drivers) of BOP as micro workers, to uplift their living and at same time provide real time traffic data, landmark and tourist hot spot updates, advertisement medium to Clients - GPS navigation product companies like Nokia Maps, MapMyIndia, etc., Traffic Info Providers like Inrix, Government Traffic Unit, Advertisers, Tourism Industry in developing countries. • SRN is ‘by’ and ‘for’ rickshaw drivers – it empowers existing ‘rickshaw union’ with technology to act as entrepreneurs and help rickshaw drivers to gain additional income using a Franchise Model. • SRN makes sure that the registered Rickshaw drivers are SMART, i.e. they have required skills, train them and check if they are reliable source (checking Driving license & other driver details) for ensuring the Quality & Reliability of Traffic, Landmark & Tourist Data. • Rickshaw drivers cover all most all roads and areas, and are on continuous move from day to night, they are aware of most locations & which ones are currently popular. This existing information pool can be of great use to clients. SRN aims to tap this information pool. • For traffic updates – drivers use SRN Client application on smart phones(with GPS); they can send the traffic status with a tap(touch screen)/voice command when rickshaw is halted for some time like in traffic / when traffic signal is red/ after dropping the passenger to destiny. • SRN Client application will automatically detect the GPS coordinates, road & area; driver just have to input the traffic status. This data is then send via internet/auto sms (if net unavailable). • SNR Server application at SRN organization will automatically calculate the Traffic Output. Similar result from majority of microworkers for a given location will be considered accurate. Traffic update will be send to clients at regular time intervals as per client’s requirement. • Drivers can send landmark (name: manual, coordinates: auto calculated) & tourist spot (hotels, stores, etc.) updates (SpotPopularity: manual, coordinates: auto calculated ) even after work hours. • Rickshaw advertisement can be printed after work hours, no special work required from drivers.
  • 4. Business Model SRN Data Send By Traffic/ Rickshaw drivers Master Landmark/ Database Tourist/Ad Traffic Ads Driver Details Status Client Details • Traffic Update • Landmark • Tourist Hot Spot Clients Landmark Tourist Hot Spot • GPS companies • Traffic Info Providers Fraud Control • Government Traffic Unit Quality Maximum allowable updates • Advertisement Industry Control / min. interval between • Tourism Industry updates/ accuracy check MicroWorker Revenue /Cost Model SRN Startup Cost MicroWorker Payment Client Costs Initial Setup Cost – (Approx.) $80,000 • Traffic - $2 / day Traffic – 1. Database & Application Servers • LandMark/HotSpot – $0.02 / Approx. $8 million/year for 2. Software development update a city, which is much 3.

Ads – $0.3 / day keeping minimal SRN profit & more benefit to Fraud activity monitored weekly and mircoworkers. detected drivers will be blacklisted.
  • 5. Novelty and Innovation • For the first time, rickshaw drivers network will be utilized to act as source for real-time traffic/ landmark / tourist hot spot updates and advertisement using microwork model and mobile technology, in developing countries. • Intelligent ‘Safe Mode’ feature for safe driving and easy to use mobile application design. Benefits • Additional Income for the Rickshaw/Taxi Drivers from developing countries who are living below poverty line, and will get a chance to improve their economic status with easy to do micro jobs. • Reliable Data Quality because SRN will register only qualified/verified/trained drivers for the jobs. • Cost Effective For Clients to get real time traffic updates, as compared to installation & maintenance costs of road sensors. • Expandable Microworker Target Group for traffic & landmark updates - newspaper sellers, road side hawkers, etc. • Mobile Recycling = Environmental Consciousness. Challenges • Safety – Updating traffic status manually through sms / typing can be unsafe, but with the help of smart phone & smart mobile application, input can be got from single tap(touch screen)/ voice command. Safe Mode(speed check) & proper mobile stand position will help in Quick & Safe process. • Fraud can happen if workers keep sending updates continuously, this can be controlled by having a minimum time interval check of consecutive traffic/landmark update for same location. Secondly, depending on traffic/landmark update requirement a maximum cap can be set on number of updates per day. This controls will limit the number of updates required & in turn will act as a safety measure. • Providing smart phones to drivers can add to initial setup cost, but still it will be cheap as compared to conventional traffic setups (ATS). To reduce this cost further, we can use recycled mobile phones + phones got from charity organizations – unused phones donated by people.
