Elimination Of Traffic Wardens With The Help Of Parking Patches

New gadget invented by UK inventor which could tell drivers where the nearest empty parking space is and thus do away with traffic wardens forever.

Brighton inventor Adrian Bone has built a sensor, which is placed throughout car parking and constantly sends updates to inform whether or not a spot is free.

You Cannot Smoke While Driving in India�s Capital
New Delhi – A high court order enforced in New Delhi, the capital of India, has forbidden smoking while driving, effective April 9, 2007.

The users will simply have to check their location and drive to where there is an open space rather than spending hours searching for one.

The sensor, dubbed 'Parking Patch', will also make it possible for parking companies or councils to remotely check if somebody is parking somewhere they shouldn't.

This might make the job of a traffic warden redundant.

500K Brits Still Using Mobiles While Driving
Despite various campaigns, nearly 500,000 motorists are using hand-held mobile phones while driving, a new UK study has found.

Though the sensor itself is a dull grey box, but the way it works with smart phones, it makes the gadget potentially a revolutionary device.

Bone is now trying to persuade his local council to implement the scheme, which could in theory be used anywhere from New York to Singapore.

Using A Hands-Free Phone While Driving Isn�t Any Different From Using A Hand-Held One!
A new report says using a hands-free phone behind the wheel is as distracting as using a hand-held phone.

He claimed that wherever it is installed it will 'revolutionise the parking industry and could mean the end of traffic wardens forever'.

"Rather than driving around fruitlessly searching for empty spaces, drivers would be able to check their mobile phones to find where to go. It just makes so much more sense," the Daily Mail quoted him as saying.

Research on Effect of Party Pills on Driving
A survey has revealed that almost one in five youngsters have admitted to using legal party pills. Researchers will study the effects of these pills on driving.

"Rather than driving around fruitlessly searching for empty spaces, drivers would be able to check their mobile phones to find where to go. It just makes so much more sense.

"There have been ideas like this before but now the technology exists to make it a reality," said Bone.

Bone insisted that his invention will lead to 'dynamic parking' which could also reduce congestion on the roads by encouraging drivers to stay away from busy areas.

The device developed by his company 'Deteq Solutions', is presently undergoing testing.

"Our sensor could even detect whether a person had a permit so the council could send a fine to the vehicle owner rather than paying someone to wander around the streets all day," added Bone.
