In India, religious celebrations are a major challenge for the authorities in terms of safety. In the city of Nashik, the Kumbha Mela Hindu festivities attract millions of people. To help manage the situation a young Indian inventor has designed a system that detects and counts the steps of the pilgrims.
Thanks to the new technology, it is possible to estimate the density of population in each area. The data is sent to the authorities and can be used to develop improvement strategies of circulation.
At 15, Nilay Kulkarni says he prefers designing technologies that help people, instead of working in the games industry video.
“I care much for technology. I wanted to create something useful. Develop video games is not helpful. It is better to do things to help them. That’s why I took part in this project, “said the young Indian inventor.
One of the major challenges of the project is to adapt the system to the land dimensions. The carpet costs 40 euros per square meter.
“The system continues to evolve. The first model card and aluminum was manufactured in four days. Over time, the system has become more sophisticated and more robust, “said Nilay Kulkarni.
The young inventor expects the system to be adopted by other structures such as temples, shopping centers and stadiums.
