The South African National Traffic Information System’s official website, www.enatis.com, contains full information about the eNaTIS. In South Africa, the system is utilised as the official record of licenced cars and drivers, among other things.
What exactly is the eNaTiS system?
The National Traffic Information System (eNaTiS) serves as a registry for the National Road Traffic Act, 1996 (Act No. 93 of 1996) and Regulations. The eNaTiS has the following registers: Vehicles that move. Vehicle producers, importers, and builders
What are the advantages of the eNaTIS?
The eNaTIS makes use of more recent technologies that will be compatible with a number of expected system improvements. For example, the state wishes to increase law enforcement capabilities, and the eNaTIS will allow for the usage of a portable law enforcement terminal that is hand-held and battery-powered.
This terminal will give real-time information about forged driver’s licences or car licences.
The eNaTIS, as a strategic resource for the Road Traffic Management Corporation (RTMC) and Road Traffic Infringement Agencies (RTIAs), will guarantee that all infringements are consolidated inside the eNaTIS data base to provide better service in terms of traffic fine payment, etc.
The eNaTIS will also be able to capture and read fingerprints (a future development made feasible by the technology), assisting in the fight against identity fraud.
The eNaTIS’s web-based capacity will ensure that the main components of Batho Pele (people first) are addressed. Services connected to road traffic can be made available on broader platforms such as automated teller machines (ATMs) and the Internet.
The eNaTIS will contain new capabilities that was not present in the NaTIS from the start. The new driving licence booking system will authenticate examiners, testing centres, and appointments, as well as prohibit dishonest authorities from exploiting the system by extorting money from the public in order to acquire driving licence appointments.
Furthermore, the eNaTIS will now have the ability to regulate all face-value papers, and future additions will include tight electronic tagging of documents in order to eliminate the ongoing fabrication of vehicle licences, registration certificates, and driving licence cards.
