Hanoi (VNA) - The Directorate for Roads of Vietnam(DRVN) has proposed developing software to better manage drivers working intransportation enterprises.
The software will include a database of information on alldrivers working for transportation businesses nationwide, including informationon their driving licences, training courses, road safety violations andpunishment records.
All departments of transport at the provincial and citylevels will be granted accounts to keep track of the drivers and transportbusinesses under their management.
Transport businesses are required to regularly update alljob-related information of their drivers, including results of periodicalhealth check-ups and drug tests.
The software will be connected to the driving licencemanagement software, the vehicle GPS tracking system, medical facilities whichconduct health check-ups for drivers and agencies responsible for dealing withtraffic violations like traffic police and inspectors.
The proposal, which has been sent to the Ministry ofTransport, was put forward after a series of serious traffic accidents in whichdrivers were found to be high on drugs.
It took the authorities a lot of time to locate the drivers’records to help identify the cause of the accidents.
Under current regulations, transport businesses are alreadyrequired to update drivers’ information in their in-house dossiers.
However, the DRVN said there are still managementdifficulties that arise from a lack of data sharing.
The agency said that under the new software, all data willbe compiled for each driver and business. Every year, based on the data, theauthorities will inspect businesses which are responsible for a high number ofviolations.-VNA
