The National Road Safety Delegation announced the launch of the first tests relating to the digitalization of driving education in Algeria. This structuring project, the result of a collaboration with the Center for Research on Scientific and Technical Information (CERIST), marks a decisive step in the modernization of the sector.
According to CERIST Director General Zohir Mokhtari, the center has finalized the design of a comprehensive digital platform dedicated to the training and assessment of driving license candidates. This was handed over to the National Delegation for an experimental phase, before its generalization to all wilayas. The project aims to provide the country with an integrated digital system bringing together all the players and structures involved in driving training.
The platform will bring together all the data relating to driving schools, educational vehicles, training staff, as well as candidate files. “This comprehensive database also includes information concerning driving inspectors, in order to ensure better control and prevent any form of fraud, in particular the issuance of licenses to unqualified candidates,” explained Azeddine Maârish, executive at CERIST and project manager. This approach aims to establish transparent digital governance, guaranteeing the traceability of files and the reliability of examinations.
Thanks to this innovation, driving school managers will be able to directly transmit candidate files via the platform, by scanning them and sending them to the wilaya delegate for validation. In the event of an error or incompleteness, the system will allow rapid correction before final validation. This dematerialized procedure will help to simplify administrative procedures, reduce processing times and limit the risk of human error.
Theoretical highway code exams will now be organized in specialized centers equipped with computers. The platform includes nearly 1,000 questions spread across eight thematic modules, generated randomly for each candidate.
The results will be automatically displayed, thus determining the passage to the practical test or the need for a new session.
CERIST is committed to supporting the National Road Safety Delegation in the maintenance and continuous updating of the platform. This partnership will ensure the sustainability and technological evolution of the system, a first since independence.
This project, it must be emphasized, is part of the guidelines of the President of the Republic, Abdelmadjid Tebboune, who, during the meeting of the Council of Ministers held on Sunday in Algiers, gave firm instructions concerning the new bill on road traffic.
The Head of State insisted on the need to make this text more precise and more rigorous, in order to clarify responsibilities and strengthen road safety.
He stressed that each actor, driver, pedestrian or control authority must fully assume their share of responsibility, in a logic of collective accountability and sustainable prevention.
The President also recalled that the current road traffic situation required in-depth reform, specifying that despite repeated awareness campaigns, road accidents continue to cause considerable human losses and significant material damage.
