Automated Driving Test System Soon At RTOs In Odisha

Cuttack: Taking your driving test in the presence of a Motor Vehicle Inspector will soon become a thing of the past.

Driving testing tracks at 19 Regional Transport Offices (RTOs) in Odisha will soon be equipped with Automated Driving Test System (ADTS), which will test your driving skills with the help of cameras, sensors and computers.

The aim is to reduce road accidents, fatalities and bring down manual checking and human interference.

In the first phase, ADTS will be set up in driving testing tracks of 19 RTOs i.e. Angul, Baripada, Bhadrak, Bolangir, Deoagarh, Dhenkanal, Ganjam, Nayagarh, Phulbani, Rairangpur, Rourkela, Sundergarh, Talcher, Keonjhar, Malkangiri, Nuapada, Bhanjanagar, Nabarangpur and Sonepur.

The system will feature a state-of-the-art set-up, including video analytics technology and a vast array of cameras and sensors. From the entry of the vehicles to its inspection and driving test, everything will be conducted through digital methods. The digital testing track sensors fitted at the track will monitor it and judge the applicant.

The waiting area will be equipped with a LED television which will play videos on whether a person ‘passed’ or ‘failed’ the test, test procedure and road safety awareness.
