Use of Android Phones in Road Projects by Bihar Government
It’s in news that the Bihar Government will start using Android devices to help engineers control the road construction work from their district headquarters. The work is expected to begin from 24th of January 2011.
#-Link-Snipped-#According to various news sources, about eight executive and assistant engineers will receive android phones for the assessment of the three state highways, namely – 68,69 and 70. These highways come under the Naxal-hit areas of Gaya and Aurangabad.
These projects have been chosen because they are running late and need immediate steps to effectively check the slippage.
The engineers will visit the construction sites every two days and take pictures of the development and upload them on Road Construction Dept with location info in Meta data to verify that they were taken actually at the site. Dept will also keep an eye on the engineers by the use of Google Maps.
I am sure this is the first time the government has taken technically inclined initiatives for such a construction project.
Let's all hope that they stick to their words and make this project a success.
