The story so far…
“Our enormously productive economy demands that we make consumption our way of life, that we convert the buying and use of goods into rituals, that we seek our spiritual satisfaction, our ego satisfaction, in consumption ... We need things consumed, burned up, worn out, replaced, and discarded at an ever increasing rate.”-Victor Lebow, Journal of Retailing, 1955
The Driverless Car
“You might have time to do other things while in the car”
An advertisement for BMW cars -and freedom, and power, and sex, and status....
The Carless Driver
“I am Human, I'm American, and I'm Addicted to Oil...”
“Selfish behaviors are reward driven and innate, wired deeply into the survival mechanisms of the primitive brain, and when consistently reinforced, they will run away to greed, with its associated craving for money, food, or power. On the other hand, the self restraint and the empathy for others that are so important in fostering physical and mental health are learned behaviors – largely functions of the new human cortex and thus culturally dependent. These social behaviors are fragile and learned by imitations much as we learn language".
– Dr. Peter Whybrow - "American Mania“
The way forward for human society...
Can we transform from being a psychotic and parasitic society that gnaws at the very life-support system of Mother Earth...
...to being a responsible and symbiotic society that nurtures the life-support system of Mother Earth.
Resource Planning for Equity and
Sustainability A System Architecture of
Localisation and Globalisation
IDEA BEHINDResource planning has become critical in these times of deepening ethical, economic and ecological crises.
This is primarily because in modern times, humanity has been consuming material resources at a rate much too faster than their rate of regeneration.
This is depriving larger sections of the society of their rights and privileges as well as eating into the future of our children.
RESOURCE TYPES & SOCIAL ORGANISATION
In its urge to equate quality of life with material comforts and individual possession, humanity has undermined the impact of non-material resources on quality of life and overall well-being.
These non-material resources are: a) management resources b) socio-political resources and c) knowledge resources.
An optimal way of social organisation is required to gainfully deploy material and non-material resources in a balanced and appropriate manner.

VSMaRT – “Think Rail, Use Roads” I
Create Road-based System in complement to Metro Rail Network Metro Stations = VSMaRT stations Coaches = High occupancy, Plug-in Electric
Hybrid vehicles (150km/litre) Dedicated corridor = Pre-ordained routes,
Semi-automatic guided vehicles, Demand-driven carriage capacity and quality
VSMaRT– “Think Rail, Use Roads” II
Expands mass transit network at a lower cost particularly for areas where passenger density is not high
Creates door-to-door reach by seamless integration of feeder service and with other modes
Similar in many ways, it is a leapfrog advancement over conventional Bus Rapid Transit Systems in terms of attractiveness and affordability
Mission VSMaRT• Demand-responsive Service :
– Uses a Fleet of Eco-friendly Vehicle (EV) for Feeder Trips (<3kms.) for Bus/MRT/ Carpool and for Short Trips (<8 kms.)
– Develop a network of EV Stations at 0.5-1 km distance around the city.
• EV-friendly routes connect inner residential areas to arterial routes (with congestion/emission charging for space-inefficient, polluting vehicles )and encourage more and more people to “avoid” cars for short trips/ single-driven/low occupancy trips.
• It facilitates “attractive” bus service, metro rail service as well as highly attractive personalised car sharing/pooling service.

traffic signal for Green Corridor and ROW5. Real-Time Incident Management6. Favorite Co-traveler Selection7. Passenger Telematics
• Traffic Signal are set on a Fixed Time Plan and the Plan is stored in the In-Vehicle Unit.• Signal times are in proportion to the carriage capacity in that direction.
About RCG School of Infrastructure Design & Management
“The need for creating world-class infrastructure in India for augmenting a positive shift in global perception about India; garner a creative commitment of utilizing FDI in all sectors of infrastructure – physical, social, economic and ecological; and establish world-class utility and facility- based advanced infrastructure systems and their governance requires a proper research-industry interface. ..Set up in 2008 RCG SIDM in IIT Kharagpur is a bold response to the need.”
