Just came across following report :
Highlights :
# The proposal is to use a technology termed — microdot —
which requires spraying the body and parts of the vehicle or any other machine
with microscopic dots that can be read with a
microscope and identified with a ultra violet light source, which give a unique identification.
Use of this technology will help check theft of vehicles and
also use of fake spare parts, said an official release. This can potentially be
used for mandatory vehicle recall as well.
# The proposal includes amending Central
Motor Vehicle Rules, to
allowing motor vehicles and their parts, components, assemblies, sub-assemblies
to be affixed with permanent and nearly invisible microdots that can be read
physically with a microscope and
identified with ultra violet light source. The Ministry has sought comments /
objections on the draft notification within 30 days.

What next ?
Ø Forensic Labs for vehicles ? ( who else can
afford microscope / UV light source ? )
Before we reach a stage of “ tracing stolen vehicle components
/ sub assys, “ , why are we unable to trace entire stolen vehicles for months
and years – despite both the chassis and the engine block carrying unique ID
numbers ?
In a typical Petrol /
Diesel vehicle, there are as many as 2,000 parts. Have you asked Car
Manufacturers :
Ø How
soon can you install into your assy-line, this Micro-dot technology ?
Ø What
will it cost you for the microdot plant ?
Ø What
will be the additional “process cost “ to spray 2000 parts ?
Ø
Has the Road Ministry carried out a “ cost benefit “
analysis of this scheme at national
level ?
Dear Shri
Gadkariji,
If – and when – someone in Road Ministry takes up such
a COST – BENEFIT analysis, I urge him to evaluate the following alternative :
Internet of Vehicles ( IoV
) ? [ 04 March 2017 ]
Intelligent
Transport System [
07 Oct 2017 ]
Transport : an
Integrated Logistic Plan ?
