Using BlackBerry 7290 handhelds, the LTO's Traffic Violation System (TVS) allows traffic enforcers to access information from the agency's central database such as license number, name and birth date of driver, license expiry date, vehicle plate number and registration date, among others.

"But for security purposes, information regarding home addresses of motorists are not included and cannot be obtained using the TVS," said Ramon Reyes, vice president for operations for local systems integrator Stradcom, which implemented the system for LTO.
