The highlight of the IDTR is the Innovative Driving Testing System (IDTS) developed by CIRT. IDTS is a camera based driving skill assessment system. IDTS enables driving instructor / licensing / selection officer to test the driving skills of the applicant with lesser human intervention. IDTS offers an unbiased and transparent driving testing mechanism by automating the process of testing drivers.

The IDTS collects path information in real time through cameras installed on test track, which is utilized for evaluation of the driving skills of the applicant. As the vehicle moves on the testing track, it plots and traces the path taken by the vehicle on the test track in real time on a two dimensional image display on a computer console. The system allows recording and saving of the coordinates of the path traced along with other parametric data and retrieving the same for analysis. Appropriate best fit algorithms for plotting the path traced by the vehicle have been developed. The system contains a statistical module which will identify the standard path and perform computations for determining the deviations from the standard path which is an indication of the steering judgement of driver. The system also allows loading of standard path as per the vehicle requirements and client conditions.

The system performs several computations for determining driving competency of the driver by estimating the deviations from the standard path developed along with a number of parameters identified for each test track. The IDTS solution automates the driving test for '8' and 'H' test tracks currently. The system allows the user to centrally administrate the entire system and print the performance report of each test verified against parameters given below:
