Cab aggregator Ola yesterday launched a pilot project called Guardian, a real-time monitoring system to track all ongoing trips. Ola has integrated real-time data and is working with local authorities to map dark spots and unsafe routes.

The system will analyse ride indicators, including route deviations, unexpected and midway stops. Based on the indicators and time of travel, safety triggers will be created, which will be attended to immediately by Ola's Safety Response Team (SRT). The team will connect with the customer to assess any potentially unsafe ride and provide assistance as required.
