The Malaysian freeway authority (LLM) is reportedly contemplating adopting the Computerized Highway Incident Detection System (ARIDS), a synthetic intelligence-based system to detect highway accidents in actual time, on a wider scale, The Star experiences. In accordance with highway security skilled Legislation Teik Hua, the system can facilitate faster responses from first-responders to accidents.
The top of the highway security analysis centre at Universiti Putra Malaysia’s engineering college stated the system is presently being trialled in a pilot section at parts totaling 1,000 km on expressways and federal roads in Klang Valley and Kuching. “We now have introduced to LLM on the necessity to undertake it totally all through Malaysia,” he stated.
The cell visitors administration system permits distant entry and might be accessed utilizing a cell phone, and runs repeatedly utilizing Google visitors knowledge to offer accident notifications in addition to analyse visitors congestion knowledge, together with analysing whether or not visitors lights are functioning.
“The system detects accidents autonomously in actual time in addition to car breakdowns and different visitors conditions utilising neural networks,” stated Legislation, including that ARIDS customers can be robotically notified of anomalies by way of WhatsApp, with out the necessity of any human enter.
When contacted, LLM director-general Datuk Sazali Harun confirmed that it’s severely mulling the total implementation of the system. “The UPM staff, led by Legislation, made the ARIDS presentation to LLM on November 15. The effectiveness of ARIDS will want additional examine by LLM earlier than any determination is made,” stated Sazali.
Legislation, whose staff developed ARIDS, stated the deadly crash involving a container lorry in Simpang Renggam, Johor, on November 15 was detected by ARIDS at 7.46 am that day. “Nevertheless, checks confirmed that the earliest official report from the North-South Expressway (Plus) Trafik X channel said that the incident occurred at 8:09 am.

“Most accidents on highways in Malaysia are attended to based mostly on CCTV monitoring by the respective freeway concessionaire, or experiences from customers or freeway patrols,” he added.
Legislation stated that Brunei and the provincial capital metropolis of Xi’an in China have additionally begun utiiising the Malaysian-made system of their bid to make their roads safer. At present, the authorities in Xi’an are utilizing it on roads protecting 200 visitors lights in a pilot run. “Brunei has additionally carried out it for its capital metropolis to completely monitor visitors mild junctions and likewise detect accidents and abnormalities,” he stated.
Faster accident detection must be paired with extra stringent inspections on heavy autos, particularly by concessionaires on the entry factors of closed-toll networks. Legislation stated present legal guidelines don’t allow concessionaires to take action, therefore the reliance on enforcement authorities. He added that evaluation of crashes noticed by the system confirmed the necessity for sturdier guardrails on highways, which at the moment can solely stand up to the influence from smaller car crashes.
