<p>Following the success of the Mallathahalli facility, the government is planning three more automated driving test tracks (ADTT) at an estimated cost of Rs 15 crore.<br /><br /></p>.<p> “We have proposed Mangalore, Hoskote and Belgaum for the ADTTs,” a senior official of the department said.<br /><br />The track in Mallathahalli has not only helped enhance the level of testing, it has also reduced corruption in issuance of driving licences, the official said. A similar plan is being considered for the other three centres, of which the one at Mangalore is expected to be larger than others. <br /><br />The Mallathahalli facility, spread across 2.5 acres and built at a cost of Rs 1.75 crore, is equipped to test around 600 applicants a day, including 400 two-wheeler licence aspirants. <br /><br />The tracks (two for two-wheelers and one for a four-wheelers) have more than a hundred electronic sensors embedded near curves and speed breakers/road humps which will deduct points if the driver is caught making an error by hitting the sensor-fitted poles while negotiating curves or speed breakers.<br /></p>
