MOTORISED VEHICLE NUMBER PLATES – A CONCEPT RESTRUCTURED


MOTORISED VEHICLE NUMBER PLATES
A CONCEPT RESTRUCTURED

Abstract:
                 This paper attempts to establish a commonality by standardising the present scenario where the registration number plates of motorised vehicles are undergoing a linear expansion, with initial null values, as significantly stored values from inputs. This initial absence of numeric or character values, with inclusions later with expanding field lengths, has been discussed, with presentation of a concept to overcome this problem that's plaguing the motor vehicle database all over India. The need is fundamental and the concept presented may yield positive results resolving implementation and data maintenance issues.

1.     Introduction

1.1.   What a number plate on a vehicle is all about?
All motorised vehicles that ply on roads worldwide are tagged with a registration number. Motor vehicle registration is the registration of a motor vehicle with a government authority, either compulsory or otherwise. Such a registration records the registered operator of a vehicle that also acts as proof of ownership. The purpose of motor vehicle registration is to establish a link between a vehicle and an owner or user of the vehicle. This link is mostly used for purposes of taxation, obsolescence or crime detection.

Barely had my son completed the honours of closing the garage gates that I usually do and, settled down in the co-driver’s seat while I was at the wheels. It was parked momentarily by the road near my residence, before intending to take off to attend to an appointment wit...

Any resemblance to persons living or dead may be purely coincidental] With credits to Mrs. Papia Kundu nee Mondal a friend from childhood Dipak had barely completed his diploma in civil engineering when he landed in a job as a junior engineer in a central government department. Such personnel were the eyes of the organisation at the ground level. It was a mass recruitment of sorts where, the country was reshaping itself, a couple of decades after independence. Observing his deft skill-sets, he was selected by his peers for a foreign posting, most immediately. Every...

Reminiscing Childhood - I

My father was posted in the interiors of NEFA, now  Arunachal Pradesh, during his early days in service to the nation. CPWD was entrusted with building of roads following the Chinese invasion of 1962. There was much work to do and the deadlines were strict despite non availability of skilled labour and licenced government contractors. The recruitment then was huge in numbers. Reaching the place of posting was a herculean task. One may say, difficult area posting instead of hard area. That made the life of an engineer more challenging to sustain, who first studied the subject for a life unlike the one he encountered. They all travelled by train to a certain point and then by launch or steamer up the mighty Brahmaputra and then, by a bus that would ply once a day loading all it could, both within, atop and some tied to the rods wherever available. Then there was the arduous treks and elephant rides across the crazy Himalayan streams from the nearest motorable point. Well, all fo...
