The recent fire on the Mumbai-Delhi Rajdhani Express may have been averted if this gadget was used. The gadget is called - Traveleasy and has been developed by a student of National Institute of Design (NID), Ahmedabad.
Postgraduate student in product design, Nitish Maurya says, he thought of designing the device specially keeping Rajdhani Express in mind as the screen displayed in it is not interactive. Once he completes his course, Maurya plans to approach the
Indian Railways and present his gadget.
The device not only provides options of raising an alarm by informing attendant, driver or ticket checker but also provides user-friendly options of ordering meals, snacks, ask for bedding or a magazine just by pushing a button - like any premium class airline. Passengers will also be able to report water shortage in washrooms or if the coach needs to be cleaned.
"The gadget is easy to operate with a small logo explaining the services it provides. It could be of great use in case of any medical or other type of emergency," said Maurya adding that the system works on wi-fi. Passengers could be given ticket with bar-code system to access the services.
One of the user-friendly aspects of the device is that it will have audio-visual response provided by a small speaker on the control panel in case the user misses the visual response. The gadget will also announce the next destination and on which side the platform will come.
For the attendant, the gadget will display seating plan with names
of passengers. It will highlight from whom a request is coming from. The attendant will be able to listen to the problem of the passengers.
