phase#1 konark is a basic gps-gsm toolkit that is self-produced and uses open- source software. Its first objective is to connect a vehicle using gps and gsm to a remote server – thereafter possibilities emerge through a potential range of onboard sensors and through the web and cellular mobiles linking the vehicle to the global information highway.
The basic toolkit may retrofitted onto the vehicle so changing the nature of its interaction with its potential users and with the environment of chaotic roadways typical of the new megacities like Mumbai.

 
konark is a street-level autonomous totalising eye carried onbroad the moving vehicle. Its basic architecture is a first step to the construction of an information loop for the vehicle for its connection to the different environments that need to come together to model an integrated ecology of mobility:
the territorial, the energy and the virtual environments through mobility.
