An e-tracking system for vehicles named 'Smart' has been launched in Trichy recently that reportedly will help record details about vehicles.
An e-tracking system for vehicles named 'Smart' has been launched in Trichy recently that reportedly will help record details about vehicles, like the registration number, owners' name and address, and engine and chassis number, through a computer data-base etc.
According to the police officials, the system would certainly help in reducing the present delay in verifying details. This would enable the public to easily verify with the police all details about a vehicle in case of an accident or theft or even before purchasing a pre-owned vehicle.
'Smart', the software for the facility was developed by the students of IIT, Madras. The Tamil Nadu police, in collaboration with the State Transport Ministry and Road Transport Authority, have created a comprehensive database, which would record various details about the vehicles across the state.
The data would be updated on a daily basis. With the installation of a 20GB server in Chennai, which is networked to computers located in Trichy, the control room would be able to obtain the data instantly and pass them to the public either by fax or over telephone.
Reportedly, the central zone police were able to track 20 vehicles with bogus registration when the scheme was being deployed on a trial basis for three days.
The system would be very handy in tracking stolen vehicles, according to the police officials. Soon, the system would be upgraded so that the public would be able to access the details through SMS. Reportedly, the police department is in negotiation with various service providers for this scheme.

Simon, It is a pity that someone is talking about a new technology in India which is 20 years behind. Also the vehicle immobilizers coming up in the market now has been developed and used in europe/usa/japan from yr 1995.Great to appreciate!

This is nothing new. The US policemen use this technology before 20 years to track the record of a vehicle and licence holder

White69, I would rather instead of coming down negative on this issue, I would rather you appriciate the fact that these guys have made something locally and not imported it from overseas. Learn to appriciate and do not be critical.
