KUALA LUMPUR, Oct 20 — Malaysia aims to equip at least 50 per cent of its 34 expressways with Smart Highway technology to enhance road safety, improve traffic flow and boost transport system efficiency.
Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said the initiative would incorporate artificial intelligence (AI), smart closed-circuit television (CCTV) systems, and detection and early-warning systems for high-risk incidents, including accidents.
Other features include solar-powered lighting, digital mobility applications and electric vehicle (EV) charging infrastructure.
“Malaysia is also prioritising the development of a National Intelligent Traffic Management Centre (NITMC) to strengthen real-time monitoring, integrated data analysis and traffic management coordination.
