In a bid to avoid road accidents, especially of school vans and buses, that seem to have increased rampantly recently, the new Lucknow Smart City app will be surveilling road movement.

Under the Mission Bharosa scheme, parents will soon be able to monitor traffic, keep an eye on students travelling by buses and vans, and all whilst sitting at home. The soon-to-be-out app will show information like the speed of the vehicle, traffic jam status, the timing of when it left the school, its location, among other details. You will also receive an alert in case the vehicle crosses its speed limit, thus, ensuring road safety.

All you have to do, in order the receive the aforementioned info, is download the Smart City app which is expected to be launched by the second week of April.

In its first phase, fitness certificates will be provided after a thorough evaluation of all school buses, vans. Herein, history of drivers will also be checked. Moreover, the vehicle numbers and phone numbers of drivers will be linked to the app. While in the second peg, information will readily be available on the app.

The app is also slated to be linked to the CCTV cameras on roads, thus, enabling users of the app to track the vehicle via videos.
