Abstract:
In Uganda a driving license is a legal document that permits one to drive a motor
vehicle on the Road. The 1998 Uganda Traffic and Road Safety Act provides that you
require a driving permit to drive any kind of motor vehicle on the road.
Bad driver behaviors can be reduced by ensuring compliance to road safety regulation
through proper enforcement of the traffic laws since they are mainly from unlicensed
drivers and most of whom have forged driving permits.
To prevent all this, a system which prevents drivers without permits or with fake
permits from driving motor vehicles has been developed.
The main objective of this project was to design a driving permit verification system
for motor vehicles which checks if a driver is legible to drive a motor vehicle. The
system is able to register a driver, his permit and his finger print. Thereafter the system
is able to verify if one who wants to drive a car is registered or not and if he is
registered, he is able to drive the car and if he is not registered, he is not able to drive a
car. And even if he is registered but he is not using his driving permit, he is no able to
start the car.
