Data trouble: Vehicle interceptors to wait for some more time

Thiruvananthapuram | Saturday | 18th January, 2020

Summary:

Hence the full functioning of interceptor vehicles fitted with ANPR will have to wait till a centralised database is ready. The database has proved to be a cumbersome one as there are multiple entries for a single vehicle from various Regional Transport Offices. The department was planning to streamline the old database by January.The database stored in the data centre located in Technopark had to be modified and ported to the central data centre in Delhi. The ANPR system captures the number plate details and check the database if the vehicle was blacklisted for any previous offence. Hence there developed multiple entries when the vehicle changed hands from one RTO to another,” said the officer..
