The cases of road accidents have gone up as the number of vehicles increased multifold. Overspeeding and traveling without necessary documents is a common sight now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

And to deal with this, traffic cops <\/span>have to do <\/span>vehicle verification every now and then. <\/span>Yet, the process is not devoid of challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Firstly, stopping a driver and verifying each document manually is a tedious task. It consumes a lot of time and effort.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Secondly, it is difficult to determine the authenticity of the documents. The driver may show a fake or duplicate document and get cleared. The whole process to validate the genuineness of traffic documents is a taxing job.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thirdly, with the thefts going up, it\u2019s becoming quite difficult to track the stolen vehicles.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, it\u2019s time to make the vehicle verification process more quick and efficient. And one of the solutions is to use QR Code technology.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Today, QR Codes are being used worldwide across various industries. These include<\/span> aviation<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> chemicals<\/span><\/a>,<\/span> sports<\/span><\/a>, product packaging, and<\/span> transportation<\/span><\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Keep reading to know how they can make the process of vehicle verification better.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A. What are QR Codes\u2014a brief<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

QR Codes are 2D barcodes, which are easy to use and create. They can link unlimited information.<\/span> Hence, you can encode the driver\u2019s information with ease.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, there is no need to spend on a handheld scanner to scan the QR Code. <\/span>You can easily scan them using a smartphone camera.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Lastly, they occupy very little space. The data is encoded in the data modules of a QR Code. Hence, they do not expand vertically but only become denser as more data is encoded.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

So, QR Code technology can help improve the process of vehicle verification. <\/span> In the succeeding sections, will show you how it works.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

B. Why use QR Code for vehicle verification<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Many techniques are used today to verify traffic documents. <\/span>One is the traditional method. Here, a driver shows their documents to the responsible personnel. For example, driving license and insurance.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

This is generally done by stopping the driver either on the road or <\/span>at<\/span> the toll booth. <\/span>But it consumes a lot of time for both the driver and the traffic personnel. <\/span>Moreover, the driver also has to give a fine if they misplace or lose their documents.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

Other hi-tech methods include smartcard-based license management and iris scanning approach. But these methods are very expensive and incur a high installation cost.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

QR Codes<\/a> in vehicle verification aims at reducing traffic police work. They are not capital intensive and hence will prove to be a cost-effective solution. Besides being a sustainable solution, they help in resolving all the above-mentioned challenges.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Let\u2019s move ahead to see how.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

C. How does a QR Code work for vehicle verification<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

QR Codes are generally used to encode information.  And people can scan these QR Codes via their smartphones to decode the information.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

To enhance the verification process, you can add important information to the QR Code.  These may include the driver’s contact details and their registration certificate.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n

\n

Now, the driver just needs to carry this QR Code in their smartphone. When asked for vehicle verification, they can simply show this QR Code to traffic police. The latter will then scan the QR Code and send it to RTO. Once the RTO verifies the driver information automatically, the traffic police can give a green signal to the driver to continue their journey.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

That\u2019s it. This has many other benefits, which we will discuss in the next section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

D. Benefits of using QR Codes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

Here is how QR Codes can resolve challenges:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Quick way of vehicle verification<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The traffic police personnel just need to scan the QR Code and get all of the driver information. <\/span>Since it takes just a few seconds to <\/span>perform a scan<\/span>, <\/span>the verification would only take a few seconds.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Plus, the probability of negligence in the manual <\/span>document verification<\/span> would also be eliminated.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. Documents will always remain intact<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With QR Codes, the drivers will not have to worry about anything. They can rest assured despite misplacing, losing, or forgetting the documents. <\/span>They just need to present the QR Code saved in their smartphone for vehicle verification.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

3. Checking becomes more authentic<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

It is nearly impossible to bypass the verification step facilitated by a QR Code.<\/span> Hence, the traffic police will be able to authenticate <\/span>driver’s identity<\/span> with ease.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

4. Quick Vehicle management system<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n

With QR Codes, manufacturers\/retailers can easily manage vehicle registration and distribution. It helps to streamline the whole supply chain process. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to this, customers can scan it to verify whether it is authentic or stolen. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

5. Easily track stolen vehicle<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

QR Codes can help detect stolen vehicles. <\/span>The user\/retailer simply needs to create a new registration. And generate a QR Code for the vehicle information. <\/span>As the police scan, the system will pop an alert message if there is any complaint registered against the vehicle.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Thus, the system will facilitate automatic recognition by scanning the QR Code.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The owner or retailer will not be asked any additional questions. Neither do they have to carry a hard copy of the documents. This way, the whole process will become smoother.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

For more information, you can refer to this detailed guide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Hence, you now know how QR Codes can optimize the process of vehicle verification. The best part is that some countries are already using this technology. We will give some examples in the next section.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

E. Some use cases<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

See how countries are making the process of vehicle verification more authentic:<\/p>\n\n\n\n

1. Spain<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

The General Directorate of Traffic, Spain has launched miDGT application. This is a QR Code-based application. It allows drivers to carry their vehicle documents on their mobile. For example, driving license and registration information.<\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

The traffic police personnel can verify driver details in real time by scanning the QR Code from the tablets, which they carry.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

2. India<\/h3>\n\n\n\n

Banglore, a city in India is using QR Codes on auto-rickshaws. The aim is to make the passenger feel secured and to make the vehicle verification process quick. Upon scanning this QR Code, one can get driver\u2019s details. The passengers can also send them to their family and friends.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Besides, by scanning the QR Code, traffic police personnel can know if the vehicle is involved in a crime.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

In addition to this, the Government of India has also introduced mParivahan QR Code.<\/span> Drivers can download the mParivahan app. And fill in the details such as the last four digits of vehicle\u2019s chassis number and engine number to get virtual RC.<\/span> Once finished, click on My RC on the dashboard to view your own QR Code. Police personnel can scan this QR Code to verify all the details. <\/span><\/p>\n\n\n\n

Now, let\u2019s move ahead to show how you can create QR Codes.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

F. How to create QR Codes<\/h2>\n\n\n\n

You can create QR Codes for vehicle verification in two ways. These are:<\/p>\n\n\n\n
