 During October 2007 a total number of 13,501,516 transactions were recorded on the National Traffic Information System (eNaTIS), an increase of 18.7% compared to September and 4% compared to August. On 25 October a total of 784,747 transactions were recorded – the most for a single day since the launch of the system. On the same date a new record was set for daily interface transactions (420,530), while 7,480 reports were executed on 10 October – also a new record. Interface transactions are those performed on other computer systems (such as those of the SAPS, vehicle manufacturers, banks and insurance companies) that have interfaces to the eNaTIS and the reports executed are utilised for, among others, financial reconciliations and audits.
Transactions performed during October included 74,674 learner’s licence authorisations, 159,822 driving licence card orders, 96,167 vehicle record introductions, 303,583 vehicle registrations and 884,554 vehicle licensing transactions. In addition, 103,571 reports were executed on the system.
As in the preceding month system availability was once again 100% during business hours.
A total number of 4,375,315 transactions were performed on other computer systems that have interfaces to the eNaTIS, while users of the eNaTIS application (at registering authorities, testing stations and provincial authorities) performed 9,126,201 transactions.
The Johannesburg user group performed the most transactions (809,146) followed by the City of Cape Town (648,221), Pretoria (565,796), Durban (326,719) and Port Elizabeth (183,348).
With 106,070 transactions Mercedes Benz SA was the most active vehicle manufacturer/importer using a system-to-system interface with the eNaTIS, followed by Volkswagen SA (67,265), Toyota SA (53,678), General Motors SA (50,761) and BMW SA (42,357).
‘The performance of the eNaTIS has once again been outstanding, and no system problems were experienced during peak volume periods,’ says Werner Koekoemoer, eNaTIS project manager.
