Automated Driving Test Tracks (ADTTs) are equipped with high-definition cameras and integrated IT systems to conduct driving license evaluations without human intervention. The Super-technology ensures a more comprehensive, efficient, and transparent testing process for driving license seekers. Evaluation at ADTTs is done in line with the Central Motor Vehicle Rules (CMVR).
To enhance road safety in Uttarakhand, Chief Minister, Pushkar Singh Dhami inaugurated ADTTs in Haridwar and Rishikesh on 26 May 2025, which are set up by Maruti Suzuki under its Corporate Social Responsibility (CSR) initiative. Both these new ADTTs will cater to driving license testing for Light Motor Vehicle (LMV), and 2-wheelers. In addition to automation of these two ADTTs.
Rahul Bharti, Senior Executive Officer, Corporate Affairs, Maruti Suzuki India Limited, said, “We thank the Uttarakhand Government for their continued association with Maruti Suzuki. Under the visionary leadership of Hon’ble Chief Minister, Shri Pushkar Singh Dhami, Dev Bhoomi Uttarakhand is rapidly progressing. One of the key growth drivers for the state is tourism. Efficient and skilled drivers are needed to boost tourism and contribute to safer roads. Our Automated Driving Test Tracks (ADTTs) can play a vital role to achieve this goal by ensuring that only skilled and competent drivers receive a license through a 100% computerized, transparent, and efficient testing process.”
He further said, “Every year, just before the onset of Char Dham yatra (holy pilgrimage), we undertake a refresher training for commercial drivers in Uttarakhand. This prepares the drivers for hilly terrains on yatra route. This training is one of the qualifiers for mandatory Green Card required for all commercial drivers during the yatra. This year, we plan to cover about 11,000 drivers in the refresher driving training at IDTRs.”
Due to automated testing process, an initial decline is usually observed in the pass percentage of driving license seekers at ADTTs. This is followed by a gradual increase in pass rate, as the applicants come better prepared, ensuring only skilled drivers receive a license.
