The Government of Gujarat Introduced “sensor based” driving tests for qualifying for the driving license.

“Getting a driving licence is set to become more difficult in the coming days as the state Transport Department has decided to introduce a sensor-based automated driving test in all the major cities and district Regional Transport Offices (RTOs) in the state,” said the chief minister of the state when this technology was launched.

The objective was to minimise the human involvement in test drives and the decision making.

I was fortunate to be the ‘architect of the sensor and sensor network design’.  After experimentations and the field trials at Gandhinagar/ Gujarat, it was replicated to most of the RTOs of the state.
