This whitepaper proposes a Smart Penalty System (SPS), which has the potential to solve prevalent violation issues through the automation of the penalty system. The SPS uses pattern recognition to identify the vehicle license number plate and automatically sends the penalty to the owner of the vehicle.
Automatic Toll Collection by using mobile phonesilent_god
Many highways in India are having toll booth to collect toll tax. There is a manual method existing of hand written or computerized toll ticket issuing & collecting cash from Toll road user (like truck, car, bus etc). This method has many limitations & weaknesses. In India, government is planning for RFID tag based toll collection, which is expensive & time consuming.
This method of "Mobile Phone Based Automatic Toll Collection" is a simple to deploy method for toll collection & uses readily available

In Automobile Industries, to use of High Security Registration plate (HSRP) is still a
challenging problem. There are more options to misuse the vehicle and exchange its engine,
chassis, gear box, axle etc., In an existing system, the Regional Transport Office (RTO) only
determine an abstract of the vehicle and its owner. The vehicles are classified using piezo
sensor and inductive loop systems. The toll-plaza is used only collected fees from the vehicles
for maintain the quality roads. There are no authorized agencies allotted to identify the vehicle
checking and no possibilities to control the vehicle overloading. The proposed system, toll-plaza
will be act as a multi-plaza. Vehicles are classified with weight and speed. Then it is checking in
toll-plaza either passed or checked. In this paper, The system uses illumination (such as Infrared)
and a camera to take the image of the front or rear of the vehicle, then an extracts the plate

With increasing vehicle size in the luxury segment and crunching parking space, traffic congestion is increasingly becoming an alarming concern in almost all major cities around the world. Burning about a million barrels of the world’s oil every day, and considering cities are turning urban without a well-planned, convenience-driven retreat from the cars, these problems will only worsen.
Smart Parking systems is one of the latest disruptive technologies that help address this problem by generating real time contextual information about the available parking spaces particular geographical area to accommodate vehicles low-cost sensors, mobility-enabled automated payment systems, real-time data collection, Smart Parking systems is designed to aid drivers to precisely find a spot.
What’s more, Smart Parking also minimizes emissions from vehicle in urban centers when deployed as a system by decreasing the dependency of people; unnecessarily circling the blocks trying to identify parking space. Apart from this green cause, by employing a host of technologies such as M2M telematics, Smart Parking helps resolve one of the biggest problems when driving around in urban areas – which is illegal parking and identifying free parking space.
It was wrong to sell wireless spectrum (1)Abraham Paul
It was wrong to sell wireless spectrum.
Having been actively associated in the implementation of one of the early GSM systems in India in 1995, I choose to remain stead fast in my opinion I had on this subject from the inception of GSM, that in the fast changing Technology oriented systems, networks, product and services, any planning on long term basis is unworkable both on the technology front as well as in its business propositions. Therefore, the wireless spectrum needed for the operation need to be planned according the same philosophy according to the facts mentioned below. The Government, the regulators and Telecom Industry need to understand and take the issues involved in close coordination between the stake holders so that right decisions are made at the right time, as otherwise it will not only hamper the growth of telecom industry as a whole but also will be harmful for the end users as it will push the country towards losing the benefits of privatization in the long run. In addition to killing the Telecom Goose that lay golden eggs it will also lead to never ending litigation. I have been writing about this to all concerned and also in various print and visual and social media websites for many years now.
Government, the Regulatory authorities and CAG and the Judiciary dealing with Telecom issues should reexamine with an open mind whether giving out Spectrum, a limited national resource to Private industrialists in a long term contact basis is the right choice for the government and a workable business proposition for the Telcos based on the following facts:- See link http://wp.me/p1ZsI2-3

Natural calamities do happen; disasters above certain magnitude are beyond human control. Nevertheless, mutely suffering in the PRESENT repeating the mistakes of the PAST without seeking ways and means to bring in changes for the benefit of FUTURE is meaningless.
How to save legacy telecom business at verge of collapseAbraham Paul
INTERNET is the best thing happened in Communication technology in past few decades. IOT and IOE are the golden catch words that change the whole world. As it appears to millions out there, strangling of Net neutrality will be a horrendous mistake.
Nonetheless, the following facts and concerns call for serious consideration of all stake holders, the Telecom Business groups, Regulators and the Government, lest the World Telecom get disrupted beyond retrieval.
Universally governments operating money as commodity (1)Abraham Paul
Demonetization is Archaic. Governments collecting of TAX on rightfully hard earned Money of ordinary Citizen is Mediaeval.
No one can stop advancement of Technology and the disruptive paths it create. However, there has to be a way to tackle it and half baked solutions like Demonetization are of no help. The way to go is to walk, and walk the full way with disruptive technology converting it an advantage.What hurts Economy most is not Black Money alone but also large portion Money being guzzled up and converted into its virtual form by fast mushrooming e-money businesses creating parallel economy of a black hole of Virtual Money draining Banks hurting liquidity and eventually disrupting Nation’s economy. Forewarned is forearmed.
Net netrality without hurting telcos and usersAbraham Paul
No one can stop advancement of Technology; and then Technology changes too quickly too. However, most Technology advancements disrupt the paths it goes through and grows. Same is truer in Information Communication Technology also. Advancement in ICT brought in convergence of Systems & Networks, mode of connectivity, the end links and User end devices and converged various forms of ICT based transactions that helped to provide Universal mode of Telecommunication that help humanity across the word.
INTERNET is the best thing happened in Communication technology in past few decades. IOT and IOE are the golden catch words that change the whole world.

Nonetheless, the following facts and concerns call for serious consideration of all stake holders, the Telecom Business groups, Regulators and the Government, lest the World Telecom get disrupted beyond retrieval.
Power of Virtual Money, Problems and need of Regulation.
Governments spend quite a lot of money for Printing Money, its safe keep, distribution, replacements and accounting of it and for preventing Black money and counterfeits. It is only right for Governments use Money as a commodity and levy some sort of charge, call it service charge, maintenance charge or whatever, on its use. Money being dynamic and never remain static at one point, money goes on rolling continuously non-stop, making its revenue earning potential for the Government, larger and larger. The revenue collected thus by Governments would be enormous and much more than what is being collected in various forms of taxes now and will suffice to cover entire Government expenditure comfortably and much more for development needs without burdening people with any form of taxation.

Sex, Society and State. At the outset, I would like to inform the readers that the issues involved in this are very subjective and complex and have different perceptions in different societies across different places and as such the observations and opinions contained may not be universally agreeable to all. What prompted me to write this is the on going debate about legalizing Hetero sexual and Homosexual behavior by law.
Attitudes on matters pertaining to sex are changing in this part of the world also. Therefore, I want to make it clear that I do not disagree to anyone who chooses to disagree to my view points. I can only state that, I wrote this in the context of the culture and the communal life as experienced by me in this country.
The current discussion about indiscreetly legitimizing homo sexual behavior is an entirely different issue that has nothing to do with legitimizing the activities and life styles of born transvestites, transgender, transsexuals, intersex, and those adopt homosexual behavior out of biological compulsion and hence call for great deal of discretion. This is going on for ages and no one consider it illegal and punishable under Section 377. What is criminal is homosexual activity between any one that tantamount to definition of rape and attracts section 377.
The crux of the matter is whether legally allowing sexual relation between homosexuals in LGBT, as their birth right, and therefore legal, how can then heterosexuals indulging in homosexual activity can be treated illegal according to Section 377 of the constitution, which in the face of it is not only discriminatory but also difficult to implement? Also about how an heterosexual individual indulging in sexual activity with a homosexual individual to be treated? Again how to discriminate who is homosexual and who is not? Insisting to obtain certificate of sexuality is an unworkable proposition.
The right choice is to allow every one who has attained legal age to have sexual relations according to their choice and to retain Section 377 of the constitution to provide safeguard against homosexual activity by anyone involving rape and not consensual sexual activities including that of LGBT communities.

Convergence of Wired and Wireless networks.
From the technology and business perspective, the differentiation between Mobile Networks and Fixed phone network is slowly diminishing. Voice, Mobile Data / Internet characteristics in Mobile systems are similar to these in Fixed Networks. Differences are the access type, bandwidth limitations and device characteristics. Therefore, it is necessary to focus on the convergence of Fixed and Mobile networking so to provide Universal mode of Telecommunication for all.
1. Limitations of current Mobile Telecom system. In a detail analysis, it can be seen that with higher data rates, the differentiations of Fixed Network and Mobile Network narrow down to ‘the type of end link’ and the ‘terminal device’. This is because, networking of enormously large number of small coverage’ area cell sites that are required for High Data rate Service delivery with Wireless connectivity becomes impractical. In practice, the topology of the high data service mobile network becomes same as that of fixed network made up of Optical Cable back bone and WiFi / WiMax based wireless end link. Higher Mobility of the Mobile terminal also have impact on the data rates that can be realized without compromising quality of service.
2. Product utility in Mobile situation: Higher data rates of 2 Mbps and above, is required only for quick down loading of high volume contents such as a lengthy digital movie etc. The utility of such services will be rare in a mobile situation and therefore, cannot become a major revenue earning product. Such high volume data files can be easily carried in plug and play storage devices.
It can be seen that an assured data rate of 384 to 512 Kbps, is more than adequate for good quality user intensive 'real time' video plus voice products such as, TV news, digital movie display, Multi-media transactions over internet etc. With 384 to 512 Kbps data rate, the data service can be delivered to the mobile device in a vehicle moving at its normal speed without compromising quality of service.
3. The business viability of high data service: Higher data rates of 2Mbps and above inMobile network any time, anywhere is near to impractical in terms of business viability. It could be realized only in limited hot spots and the Mobile device in more or less stationery situation identical to Wired phone.
4. Limitation in current Wired Line devices. Though very high data rate products could be made available in a fixed network system, the fixed network provides only limited mobility within a short coverage area. High data rate need of the user can be realized if the user can plug in his device to a fixed network socket or get serviced through a PON connectivity as the end link at the premises.

zkStudyClub - Reef: Fast Succinct Non-Interactive Zero-Knowledge Regex ProofsAlex Pruden
This paper presents Reef, a system for generating publicly verifiable succinct non-interactive zero-knowledge proofs that a committed document matches or does not match a regular expression. We describe applications such as proving the strength of passwords, the provenance of email despite redactions, the validity of oblivious DNS queries, and the existence of mutations in DNA. Reef supports the Perl Compatible Regular Expression syntax, including wildcards, alternation, ranges, capture groups, Kleene star, negations, and lookarounds. Reef introduces a new type of automata, Skipping Alternating Finite Automata (SAFA), that skips irrelevant parts of a document when producing proofs without undermining soundness, and instantiates SAFA with a lookup argument. Our experimental evaluation confirms that Reef can generate proofs for documents with 32M characters; the proofs are small and cheap to verify (under a second).

Epistemic Interaction - tuning interfaces to provide information for AI supportAlan Dix
Paper presented at SYNERGY workshop at AVI 2024, Genoa, Italy. 3rd June 2024
https://alandix.com/academic/papers/synergy2024-epistemic/
As machine learning integrates deeper into human-computer interactions, the concept of epistemic interaction emerges, aiming to refine these interactions to enhance system adaptability. This approach encourages minor, intentional adjustments in user behaviour to enrich the data available for system learning. This paper introduces epistemic interaction within the context of human-system communication, illustrating how deliberate interaction design can improve system understanding and adaptation. Through concrete examples, we demonstrate the potential of epistemic interaction to significantly advance human-computer interaction by leveraging intuitive human communication strategies to inform system design and functionality, offering a novel pathway for enriching user-system engagements.

5. One System for entire country
One system for the entire country:
A single Intelligent Network Server based Service
Provider system established in one city can provide Car
Parking charging service in other Cities across the Country.
This is achieved by routing the signaling from distant
networks to the Intelligent network server in the main
centre.
This way the facility could be leased out to other
Municipal Authorities or can be run on revenue sharing
basis.
6. Exclusive Network Option.
In Metropolitan cities like Mumbai and Delhi, it desirable to have
exclusive GSM system owned and run by the Government/ Municipalities.
1. As a Support system for local governance and security needs.
In addition to Control and Charging of Vehicle parking, this
exclusive network can be used with tremendous advantage for
Security and control, Traffic management and internal
administrative telecom uses, in the normal situation and for
disaster management during emergency situation.
2. As a Support system for Public Services and Other Value added
Services.
It is also possible to implement and earn revenue from many other
value added services over this network.
7. The Technology
The technology involve:
A Wireless Telephony Application system using an exclusive Intelligent Network
technology server enabled by high speed signaling between the system and the
device in the vehicles, over GSM Network.
Network elements involved:

9. Benefits for the Parking Space Providers.
Low overall investment and operation cost.
No parking ticketing machines needed thereby:
1. Saving on the parking machines costs and distributed maintenance costs.
2. Transparent system: Less resources for operation, maintenance,
administration and management.
3. Centralized charging and pre-paid payment collection so no need of
coin collection and accounting staff.
More revenue:
- No hassles of machine failures and so no revenue loss.
- No intermediary. Direct income, means higher net earnings.
- all vehicles parked in public places in towns and suburbs can be brought under
charging net. So substantial increase in revenue

entertainments such as music, jokes, astrology, video, or live chat service to avoid
monotony of solo driving.
15. The Business Potential
Assumptions:
1. Parking in Cities and towns:
a) 50% of the vehicle population are taken on the road during the day.
b) Parking space is used by these vehicles for an average of 3 Hours a day.
2. Idle parking in public roads: (other in main parking areas)
(A nominal charge of 50 paise per hour during night and Re.1 cents per hour during day)
a) 25% of the cars are parked on the public roads during night for 10 hours (8 PM to 6 PM)
b) 10% of the cars are idle parked in public roads during day time for average of 10 hours
3. Business revenue from every 1 million vehicle population per day:
i). 3 hour Parking in Cities and towns charged at Rs. 2 per hour: 500000 x 2 x 4 = Rs. 40,00,000
ii) 10 hours night parking in public roads at Re. 0.5 per hour: 250000 x 0.5 x 10 = Rs. 12,50,000
iii) 10 hours day idle parking on public roads at Re.1 per hour 100000 x 1 x 10 = Rs. 10,00,000
-------------------
Total revenue for one day: Rs. 62,50,000
Annual revenue: Taking 90% for adjusting for low revenue on holidays + Rs.205,31,25,000
The business will generate an annual revenue of Rs.200 Crores from every million
vehicle population. I.e. Rs.2000 per vehicle population. Revenue from other value
added products and services will be equally substantial.
16. How to make this happen?
1. Close understanding and cooperation is needed with GSM Service
Provider:
a) For routing the CC7 signaling of the parking related calls originated from their
GSM mobile subscribers to Service Provider s IN system.
b) For routing of signaling across different cities.
May be done by a revenue sharing understanding with a GSM service provider.
2. Special purpose GSM Mobile Device embedded application software.
