Aim of this paper is to make the clear, efficient and the transparent test for any driver seeking the driving license, by tracking his driving skills during the driving test in an automated track or on an automated vehicle. The solution is developed by customizing AVR controller based embedded system to check the status of sensors (IR Proximity and Ultra-sonic sensors) placed on the track or on a driving vehicle and exploiting IoT technology to send result of the test (pass or fail) to higher RTO officers. The proposed solution for the automation of existing manual test process enables the elimination of human intervention and improves the driving test accuracy thereby going paperless, with Driving Skill Evaluation System. As a contribution to the society this innovative solution can overcome corruption and reduce the number of road accidents due to most accidents resulting from lack of planning, anticipation and control which are highly dependent on a person’s driving skills. Thus, from our proposed scheme we can implement an automatic driving test for license issue.

The study conducted by the International Finance Corporation (IFC) indicates that the process of obtaining driving license in India is a distorted bureaucratic one. The independent survey conducted shows that close to 60 percent of license holders did not even have to take the driving license test and 54 percent of them were untrained to drive. The study conducted by IFC also shows that the driving license is in that category of public services that involves corruption of a direct demand and supply of bribes between citizens and bureaucrats. The study also indicates that the corruption is focused on agents that work as intermediaries between the officials and citizens. This practice of agent-usage promotes corruption and subsequently results in higher payment for licenses, reduces driving test quality and this eventually results in unskilled drivers on road. Our proposed system, makes use of Internet of Things (IoT) technology coupled with sensors and embedded controllers to automate the driving test for the driving license issuing. 1.1 Motivation In the present scenario, the candidates who have applied for driving license have to appear for a theoretical examination and a practical examination. The theoretical examination evaluates the candidateǯs knowledge on different traffic signs, traffic regulation and also the basic understanding of simple safety check before using a vehicle. Different ways are adopted for the conduct of theoretical examination. These are oral examination, question paper or computer-based examination. Theoretical examination is conducted before the practical examination. A pass in the theoretical examination is a prerequisite for the practical examination. The practical examination comprises of two tests namely off-road test and on-road test. The off-road test is for examining the candidateǯs ability in controlling the vehicle. The on-road test is conducted in light traffic on normal road. Normally, the on-road test is carried out after completing off-road test. This manual test procedure is subjected to multiple limitations like time constraints, costly and heavily controlled by the experience of examiner in conducting the test. This in fact leads to common human error like observation, favoritism and corruption. One or more inspectors from vehicle department has to be present long hours in the test driving fields. So, the manual process of issuing license gives less accurate results than automatic process. Hence the only solution for this problem is to implement an efficient, transparent and cost effective automatic driver testing system. 1.2 Literature Review In day to day life many modern transportation vehicles coming in to the market. As the population increases the usage of such vehicles also increases on a broader scale. Most of the people prefer for four-wheeler transporting systems. For operating the vehicles, the license is compulsory. Normally, in driving test a candidate applied for license have to drive over a closed loop path in front of the authorities [7]. The corruption in the current system is
