PUNE: The Pune Mahanagar Parivahan Mahamandal (PMPML) is considering installing a buzzer alarm system, among other measures, to alert drivers after a series of daytime accidents involving two-wheeler riders crashing into boom barriers set up recently in two BRTS corridors.
Around eight-nine such accidents have taken place in the past few days, said PMPML officials. “We are considering using technology to tackle the problem. One idea being considered is to install a buzzer alarm system. The alarm will go off, alerting drivers, when any other vehicle, apart from PMPML buses, enter the BRTS corridor. Another solution is to come up with a non-static boom barrier, which will move after being hit,” Dattatraya Zende, BRTS manager, PMPML, told TOI.
