With the improvement of standards for driver’s test and the advancing of technologies like face recognition, virtual simulation, AI, 5G, etc., departments of traffic control of Public Security have been putting forward new requirements for the standards for driver’s test. Therefore, in the test, there tend to be standardized tests, visualized data, remote supervision, and technological anti-corruption, which bring new market demands for the upgrading and transformation of the systems for driver’s test. Meanwhile, with the safety campaign of “helmets and life belts” launched by the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, the safety of motorcycle and electric vehicle drivers has once again the focused topic of widespread concern among media and people.
Intelligent Motorcycle Test Is Imperative with the Continuously Growing Number of Motorcycles
According to the Traffic Management Bureau of the Ministry of Public Security, the number of motor vehicles in China has reached 360 million as of the end of July 2020, among which there are 68.896 million motorcycles, accounting for 19.14%. 3.325 million motorcycles were newly registered in the first half of the year with year-on-year increase of 0.885 million. There are more and more motorcycle riders with the increasing number of motorcycles. Additionally, e-bikes are non-motor vehicles, and the Ministry of Public Security has not required tests for riders of e-bikes, but future management of motor vehicle will cover e-bikes according to the Safety Technical Specification for Electric Bicycle. Thus, intelligent tests for riders of motorcycles and e-bikes are imperative.

Tests for motorcycle riders with AI and BDS
Duolun Technology is Chinese first technological enterprise to introducing new-generation information technologies to the field of mass transportation including BDS differential positioning, 3D virtual simulation, AI, IOT perception, big data, cloud computing, and in-depth learning. Duolun has been guiding the industry of intelligent driver’s test. In August 2020, according to Decree No.123 of the Ministry of Public Security and other national laws and regulations, Duolun independently developed and presented the test system of site skills for vehicle drivers, including MDS-1000-II (for two-wheeled motorcycles) and MDS-1000-III (for three-wheeled motorcycles) based on machine vision. This intelligent test system for motorcycle riders is not only Chinese first comprehensive test system integrating advanced technologies including AI vision, satellite differential positioning, inertial navigation system (INS) posture, but also among Chinese first batch of intelligent test system for motorcycle riders approved by the Road Traffic Safety Product Quality Supervision and Testing Centre of the Ministry of Public Security. The system can automatically judge all items in the Test II for motorcycle riders, scientifically, normally, and orderly. It can also automatically judge items in the Test III according to clients’ requirements, to promote the efficiency of the test supervision and ensure the fairness, impartiality, and openness of tests.
The Intelligent Test System for Motorcycle Riders has Been Successfully Established in Real
Duolun Technology has established the intelligent test system for motorcycle riders first in cities in Zhejiang Province and Jiangxi Province. It is worth mentioning that, after the testing spots for motorcycle riders were upgraded into digital intelligent spots with automatic transformation, the difficulty of tests will not increase, and the contents and judging criteria are consistent with the original manual judging. Additionally, digital intelligent judgment can efficiently minimize impacts of manual factors, and improve the automatic supervision of tests. It can improve the accuracy and fairness of results while saving human resources and promoting supervision efficiency.
At present, Duolun Technology has formed 15 branches and regional offices after its nationwide optimization and integration, thus providing complete pre-sale technical support, and timely meeting customers’ personal demands, as well as ensuring timely maintenance of products and stable operation of equipment. Duolun always regards after-sale services as the “lifeline” for the enterprise, and has established 68 after-sale service centers over the country, covering 264 cities in 31 provinces, municipalities, and autonomous regions, which compose an after-sale service system that has impacts over the country, and has fast and efficient after-sale service response.
As the fundament of driving safety, driver’s tests are of great significance for people’s lives and the traffic safety. Intelligent driver’s tests are conducive to improving the accuracy of the tests at source, promoting the efficiency of test supervision, preventing unqualified drivers from driving, and preventing invisible killers from causing accidents. The tests will strictly control the fundament of traffic safety, and guard the traffic safety for Chinese people from beginning to end.
