The Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID), radio frequencies used to automatically identify and track motor vehicles in India would be implemented by the end of this year, Department of Motor Traffic (DMT) Commissioner General A.H.K. Jagath Chandrasiri said. Under the new system the Police would be able to identify vehicles without stopping them, he said. “The Police can get information related to the vehicle to some extent to ease their inquires,” Mr. Chandrasiri said. Addressing the media, the Information and Communication Technology Commissioner of DMT Susantha F. Suraweera said the Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID) was the use of radio waves to read and capture information stored on a tag attached to the back of the windscreen of vehicles
