The Ministry of Transport implemented the first electronic information processing system in March, 1970, followed by a series of improvements.
For instance, OCR (Optical Character Reader) was introduced in January, 1988 to allow the use of Chinese characters (Kanji) for display of the name and address, etc. on the automobile inspection certificate instead of previously used less reliable "Katakana" characters. User needs have been further taken into the present system that was totally revised in January, 1996.It is considered to be one of the most advanced information processing systems in the world.
