The Eastern Cape MEC for Transport, Roads and Public Works, Thandiswa Marawu will officially open the eNatis Computerised Learners Licence Testing (CLLT) Centre, which is the first pilot site in the country, at Peddie Traffic Station on 25 November 2011 at 10h00.
This pilot project which forms part of Road Safety strategy, is aimed at introducing road safety as a life skill curriculum with an outcome of producing 10000 new drivers with appropriate skills to become safe drivers and Peddie is going to be the first site in the country to be activated.
Funded by the National Department of Transport, the objective of the pilot is to deploy eNaTIS based CLLT classrooms at two pilot Driver's Licence Testing Centres within each province to evaluate the impact of the new system and allows prospective candidates to complete their learner’s license test electronically on a computer-based system.
The system will see the examiner allocate a specific terminal to the successfully identified applicant before he/she enters the test room, this terminal will request the applicant for his/her fingerprint.
It will scan the applicant’s fingerprint, validate its accuracy by comparing it with the application details and inform the applicant that he/she is at the correct terminal or if he/she is at the wrong terminal.
The system will also randomly generate the test questions for the applicable test for each terminal, the questions will be temporarily downloaded to the test terminal.
After the test has been authorised, the questions will be deleted and the answers of the questions will be verified on the eNaTIS data centre and the terminal will then be locked immediately after the laps of the test time.
The implementation of the eNaTIS CLLT will provide the following benefits:
- All the applicable questions per test type and the required marks to pass a specific test will be maintained on the eNaTIS
- Functionality it will exist to maintain the demonstration clip to be displayed to the applicant on screen (text) as well as the audio clip (in all 11 official languages).
- Reduction in fraud and corruption, as a result of less dependency on human intervention which translates into greater data quality
- Complete automation of the learner’s license process from application, through booking, completion of the test and eventual issuing of the learner’s license
- No two learners will likely have the same set of questions
- Increased efficiencies in service delivery within the traffic administration sphere;
