KUALA LUMPUR: Some 5,000 closed-circuit television (CCTV) cameras with artificial intelligence (AI) will be installed in Kuala Lumpur by the end of the year to expand and improve the management of the city’s integrated transportation.
Federal territories minister Shahidan Kassim said 3,000 cameras with AI functions had already been installed for the city’s smart traffic system and to monitor crime, community areas and Kuala Lumpur City Hall’s (DBKL) assets.
An additional 2,000 CCTV cameras will be put up by the end of the year for the police to monitor crimes.
“The AI system can detect real time incidents and situations such as potholes, cement spills from lorries and illegal traders by the roadside.
“Notifications on the incidents will help DBKL to implement monitoring, prevention, enforcement and also maintenance work,” he said, adding that with this initiative, DBKL can lower its preventive maintenance budget.
He was speaking at the launch of the transportation management centre (ITIS) rebranding to Kuala Lumpur command and control centre (KLCCC) here today.
Shahidan said the latest system could collect, process and provide feedback on the data, which could then help DBKL use the data effectively and efficiently for further action.
He said various single systems used by DBKL such as licensing, enforcement and transportation including the traffic lights and Go KL City Bus systems, would be integrated into the smart city network.
Shahidan said the CCTV cameras and integrated system will also help to monitor and prevent vandalism as well as improve the maintenance and protection of assets.
“In addition, the effort also involves the installation of 140 full-colour VMS (vehicle monitoring system) units, 42 panic buttons in public parks and 78 speakers, which will be completed by the end of the year.”
He said the system can also monitor road damage, identify faded road markings, broken street lights and traffic lights, fallen trees as well as detect traffic offences that cause congestion. - FMT
