Automated Enforcement System (AES)

What is AES?

• An automatic enforcement of traffic laws, and is a continuation of the Road Safety Plan 2006-2010.

• On-going efforts of road safety activists (JPJ, PDRM, JKJR, MIROS, JKR) focusing on 4E (Engineering, Enforcement, Education and Environment).

• Necessitates adaptations of the enforcement system to be sustainable in driving attitude changes regardless of the increase in number of vehicles, drivers or constraints in enforcement.

• A system based approach that could change the attitude of Malaysian drivers.

• A tracking system that automatically records traffic offenses using sensors installed on the road and imaging system that captures photo and video images of traffic violations.
How does AES function?

• AES is able to automatically detect and record any traffic offenses as soon as they are committed in accident-prone areas where the system is installed.

• AES implementation covers offenses such as:

◦ Beating the traffic light
◦ Speeding

• Information of these offenses is then sent in real time online to the AES Control Centre. The information is processed to identify the driver/owner of the vehicle based on the information in the JPJ database.

• Summons will be issued automatically and sent by mail to the person who is summoned (OKS).

• The system automatically sends the information to the court for trial if the OKS chose not to pay the compound or decided to go for trial.
Which agency will be responsible for implementation of AES?

• The Ministry of Transport Malaysia is the proprietor (owner) of AES.

• Agencies under the Ministry of Transport are directly involved in the implementation of the AES:

◦ RTD is directly responsible for implementing AES and is the end-user of the AES system.

◦ MIROS is responsible to determine the black spot locations for the camera installations and to study the effectiveness of AES.

◦ JKJR is responsible for advocacy and road safety awareness campaigns on AES.
What are the roles of PDRM in AES?

• PDRM will utilise AES to track offenses and carry out traffic duties.

• The AES Control Centre has control rooms for PDRM dan JPJ.

• Mobile AES units will be administered by PDRM and JPJ.
How is the location for AES camera installation determined?

• The locations for the AES cameras are determined by MIROS with the help of JPJ, PDRM and the JKJR.

• The basic information that is used is based on the police accident report (Pol.27).

• Data from this report was analysed by MIROS to identify the coordinates of the accident locations.

• These locations were scored (ranked) according to accident cases. Accidents are scored from high to low - accident cases, serious injuries, minor injuries and minor accidents. Locations that accumulated the highest scores were given priority for AES camera installation. The locations were also verified.
How many cameras will be installed?

• 566 speeding cameras.

• 265 traffic light cameras.

• A total of 831 cameras.

• 250 units (30%) of the total are mobile units - the mobile cameras are operated in accident-prone areas that have no infrastructure (electricity, communication range, etc.) for the installation of static camera.
