Bhubaneswar: Automated driving testing commenced at six RTOs in Odisha today, informed State Transport Commissioner Amitabh Thakur.
The system was launched at RTOs in Ganjam, Chandikhole, Rourkela, Angul, Sundargarh and Keonjhar. It will be operational at all 38 RTOs of the state in the coming days, the official said.
The Ministry of Road Transport and Highways has developed a software solution to automate the driving license test process. Under this initiative, advanced cameras will be deployed to meticulously record every aspect of an applicant’s performance during their driving test. Utilizing the data collected by these cameras, the software will objectively determine the results, granting either a pass or fail based on the applicant’s driving skills.
This innovative Artificial Intelligence (AI)-powered system aims to eliminate any human intervention, guaranteeing accurate and prompt outcomes for driving assessments.
The Transport Commissioner further informed that in order to reduce roadside parking-related accidents, truck terminals will be created at 23 places having various facilities for the drivers and transporters.
Each terminal will have a parking capacity of 100-300 trucks while construction work will be completed within 12-18 months, he added.
