RTA launches tablet devices project for testing of vehicle drivers

Dubai: The Driver Licensing Department of the Licensing Agency at the Roads and Transport Authority (RTA) has launched its "Smart Tablets" project, in which tablet computers were distributed to the Authority's inspectors at vehicle testing centres in Dubai. Sultan Al Marzouqi, Director of Driver Licensing at the Authority, affirmed that the agency is keen to develop plans and strategies in line with the vision of the Authority in launching technical projects and initiatives to keep pace with Dubai's efforts to provide the best and finest services to members of the community. "The move will help inspectors gauge errors committed by trainees during the test in a very accurate and clear manner rather than the old handwriting method on paper, these tablet computers can calculate all errors, and once they are connected to the Internet they are directly linked to the electronic traffic system and show the final result of the trainees, as well as the possibility of trainees receiving the result printed in Arabic and English so that they will be evaded in the future." Al Marzouqi pointed out that in the coming period tablet computers will be distributed to the rest of the driving centers with its branches in Dubai. – Emirates News Agency, WAM
