Live tracking & geofencing
GPS positions of registered vehicles on a live map, with geofences around mines and approved corridors, raising an alert the moment a vehicle exits its zone.
Directorate of Geology & Mining, Uttar Pradesh
A monitoring and enforcement system for mineral transit passes.
This document sets out the capabilities of a proposed monitoring system for the Directorate of Geology & Mining, Uttar Pradesh, illustrated through a working prototype, together with an assessment of what would be required before deployment.
GPS cross-verification of electronic Transit Passes (eTP), automated detection of route deviation and repeat-dispatch (double-trip) irregularities, and consolidated reporting of royalty at risk.
System overview
Basis for the proposed system
Sand, stone and minor minerals are transported through the State's mining corridors under the electronic Transit Pass (eTP) framework. Given the volume of dispatches and the distances covered, confirming route adherence and pass utilisation in real time can be difficult from records alone. The capabilities below are intended to add a layer of real-time visibility and analysis on top of the Directorate's existing regulatory framework.
02
eTP pass validation
Cross-checks each electronic transit pass against GPS reality at issuance, flagging mismatches between the declared mine location and where the vehicle actually was.
03
Route & double-trip detection
Flags route deviations against the approved path, and vehicles re-entering a mine shortly after a declared dispatch, a pattern worth a closer look for undeclared second loads.
04
Royalty & volume tracking
District- and cluster-level view of dispatch volume against permitted volume, surfacing where utilisation is running over quota.
05
Case & audit trail
Every flagged pass carries its GPS trip timeline and declared-vs-actual route, ready to hand to an enforcement officer.
06
Escalation workflow
One-tap escalation to a Regional Enforcement Officer (roadside check, 15-min response target) or the Driver Support Control Room.

Mining Transit Pass Monitoring Dashboard
Prepared with reference to the Directorate of Geology & Mining, UP mandate. This is a functional prototype, not a static mockup: the screens described below are interactive and demonstrated in person.
- Live map with geofence + heatmap overlays and a zone-breach log
- eTP audit table (All / Flagged) with per-pass GPS-at-issuance verification
- Royalty viewer by district and cluster, with volume-utilisation drilldowns
- Double-trip case view: actual vs. declared route and timing
- One-tap escalation to Regional Enforcement Officer or Driver Support Control Room

Implementation status
Present state of the prototype and requirements for deployment
The prototype currently operates on illustrative data. Deployment for departmental use would require integration with the systems listed below.
| Capability | Status | What's needed for production |
|---|---|---|
| Live map, audit table, royalty viewer, case views, alert log | Demo-ready | Re-skin with Directorate branding; connect to an officer login/directory. |
| Flagging & double-trip detection logic | To build | Tuned on historical eTP and GPS data; needs a data-sharing agreement. |
| Live GPS feed (AIS-140 / vehicle telematics) | Needs integration | API access to the GPS/AIS-140 vendor or fleet telematics provider. |
| eTP / e-Way Bill systems | Needs integration | API or DB access to the government transit-pass system of record. |

Demonstration
The dashboard is available for a full walkthrough, including live map, a flagged transit pass, and the resulting escalation to an enforcement officer.
