Learner’s licence authorisations on the National Traffic Information System (eNaTIS) peaked on 21 November 2007 when 3,680 such transactions were recorded – the highest number for a single day since the inception of the system. Robust processing and uninterrupted performance were once again evident with 100% system availability during business hours (as has been the case for many months now) and the processing of vast numbers of transactions without notable problems. A total number of 12,841,282 transactions were recorded during November. The month-on-month decrease of 4.89% compared to October (when 13,501,516 transactions were recorded) reflects the drop in demand traditionally experienced towards the end of the year.
The breakdown of the transactions performed during November is as follows: 74,380 learner’s licence authorisations, 161,219 driving licence card orders, 92,165 vehicle record introductions, 293,689 vehicle registrations and 823,422 vehicle licensing transactions. In addition, 96,406 reports were executed on the system. These reports are utilised for, among others, financial reconciliations and audits.
A total number of 4,084,158 transactions were performed on other computer systems that have interfaces to the eNaTIS (such as those of the South African Police Service, vehicle manufacturers, banks and insurance companies), while users of the eNaTIS application (at registering authorities, testing stations and provincial authorities) performed 8,757,124 transactions.
The Johannesburg user group once again performed the most transactions (799,195) followed by the City of Cape Town (615,191), Pretoria (564,508), Durban (307,247) and Port Elizabeth (175,687).
With 96,693 transactions Mercedes Benz SA was the most active non-governmental entity using a system-to-system interface with the eNaTIS, followed by Volkswagen SA (60,846), Toyota SA (53,294), General Motors SA (45,904) and TransUnion HPI (35,390).
