ABSTRACT
This paper represents the development of the idea of making the proposed mechanism for a SMART Driving License (DL) using the concept of the Internet of Things (IoT). The concept of SMART DL came into existence to provide a secure vehicle system by providing the prototype of an upgraded authorized version of a simple DL license by holding all the necessary information about the DL holder, car owner, and the vehicle with all their required documents into a single physical authorized device, using IoT (Eleonora 2016) so that the problems of fraud, theft, heavy challan, and terrorism could be stopped at a maximum extent. The system must contain a radio-frequency identification reader and a global positioning system for tracking purpose. The proposed mechanism for a SMART DL when inserted into the vehicle is that all the necessary information such as unique Identification (UID) number, vehicle number, location, etc., all go to the server (Cloud), and that information could be restored and viewed through a web- portal/application maintained, which could also be handled by the owner of vehicle as per his/her own requirement.
