The Malaysian freeway authority (LLM) is reportedly contemplating adopting the Computerized Highway Incident Detection System (ARIDS), a synthetic intelligence-based system to detect street accidents in actual time, on a wider scale, The Star studies. Based on street security knowledgeable Regulation Teik Hua, the system can facilitate faster responses from first-responders to accidents.
The top of the street security analysis centre at Universiti Putra Malaysia’s engineering school mentioned 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. “Now we have offered to LLM on the necessity to undertake it totally all through Malaysia,” he mentioned.
The cell site visitors administration system permits distant entry and could be accessed utilizing a cell phone, and runs constantly utilizing Google site visitors information to offer accident notifications in addition to analyse site visitors congestion information, together with analysing whether or not site visitors lights are functioning.
“The system detects accidents autonomously in actual time in addition to car breakdowns and different site visitors conditions utilising neural networks,” mentioned Regulation, including that ARIDS customers shall be routinely 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 complete implementation of the system. “The UPM workforce, led by Regulation, made the ARIDS presentation to LLM on November 15. The effectiveness of ARIDS will want additional research by LLM earlier than any determination is made,” mentioned Sazali.
Regulation, whose workforce developed ARIDS, mentioned the deadly crash involving a container lorry in Simpang Renggam, Johor, on November 15 was detected by ARIDS at 7.46 am that day. “Nonetheless, checks confirmed that the earliest official report from the North-South Expressway (Plus) Trafik X channel acknowledged that the incident occurred at 8:09 am. If the crash was detected earlier, rescue response time would have been lower shorter, with higher survival charges,” he mentioned.
“Most accidents on highways in Malaysia are attended to based mostly on CCTV monitoring by the respective freeway concessionaire, or studies from customers or freeway patrols,” he added.
Regulation mentioned 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 the moment, the authorities in Xi’an are utilizing it on roads overlaying 200 site visitors lights in a pilot run. “Brunei has additionally applied it for its capital metropolis to completely monitor site visitors mild junctions and likewise detect accidents and abnormalities,” he mentioned.
Faster accident detection must be paired with extra stringent inspections on heavy autos, particularly by concessionaires on the entry factors of closed-toll networks. Regulation mentioned 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 present can solely stand up to the impression from smaller car crashes.
