If you are planning a long road trip via expressways, it is advisable to keep all the documents related to your vehicle in order. The National Highways Authority of India (NHAI) is testing a new system, which will tell authorities if a vehicle has valid registration, pollution certificates and other documents.
The new system is called Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) and all the expressways in the country will soon be integrated into it. It is not only capable of capturing a photo of the number plate of the vehicle, but will also alert the authorities if travellers are not wearing seat belts.
The ATMS will be linked to the vehicle database of the transport department (RTOs).
