Introduction
India has more than 1,000 regional transport offices (RTOs) across the country. The offices undertake vehicle inspections, issue plate numbers and registration tags, provide driving licenses, and collect vehicle taxes and traffic fines. Maintaining databases for large amount of information was a usual exercise for the RTOs as all the RTOs worked in silos. Each one maintained its own database containing details of all vehicles and registered drivers in its area. Certainly, the classical exercise restricted the offices to sync and map information country-wide. Without a system in place that connected all RTOs, it was difficult to track stolen vehicles, persecute offenders, and much more.
