  The Smart Driving Skill Evaluation (SDSE) System presented in this paper
expedite the testing of candidates aspiring for a driving license in a more
efficient and transparent manner, as compared to the present manual testing
procedure existing in most parts of Asia and Pacific region. The manual test
procedure is also subjected to multiple limitations like time consuming, costly
and heavily controlled by the experience of examiner in conducting the test.
This technological solution is developed by customizing 8051 controller based
embedded system and LabVIEW based virtual instrument. The controller module
senses the motion of the test vehicle on the test track referred to as zero rpm
measurement and the LabVIEW based virtual instrument provides a Graphical User
Interface for remote end monitoring of the sensors embedded on the test track.
The proposed technological solution for the automation of existing manual test
process enables the elimination of human intervention and improves the driving
test accuracy while going paperless with Driving Skill Evaluation System. As a
contribution to the society this technological solution can reduce the number
of road accidents because most accidents results from lack of planning,
anticipation and control which are highly dependent on driving skill.
