Use of IT (Information Technology) to control specially permitted commercial vehicles and solve issues

Specially permitted commercial vehicles should obtain permission to drive. The conventional system requires complicated application processes for both the applicants and road administrators. The application process will be simplified by utilizing IT.
Efforts are being made to efficiently control specially permitted commercial vehicles by using IT and enhancing regulations in cooperation with related organizations, in order to reduce the non-permitted and overweight vehicles, protect road structures, and ensure traffic safety.
