Exhilarated by the experience, Lakshya Gupta, student of B.tech Computer Science- Specializing in Internet of Things and Smart Cities, UPES said, “The process of developing a device which has the potential to help in saving people’s lives was extremely exciting. The product we have developed can prove to be a revolutionary device for transport companies, as their employees (drivers) usually cover long distances and odd hours of driving.”
Talking about the idea generation, Jaldeep Giniya, student of B.tech Applied Petroleum Engineering Specialization in Gas, UPES said “Looking at the rate of road accidents due to the inattentive drivers, we felt that there is a need to build a product of this nature. At UPES, we received the right guidance and encouragement to find a solution to this problem through technological innovations.
Umbeo Tech was recognized by Startup India initiative and is in talks with Uttarakhand government for the testing of the device and possibly deploy the device in all the transport buses.
