kamera-awas.jpg The Automated Awareness Safety System (AWAS) cameras will be implemented using a point-to-point method instead of the static method that was previously used, according to Transport Minister Anthony Loke. This will allow for more thorough vehicle speed monitoring by calculating the average speed of the vehicle between two camera checkpoints based on travel time and distance.
According to the minister, the ministry's goal of lowering vehicle speed and, consequently, the danger of accidents is not being met by the existing installation of AWAS cameras, which are positioned in fixed locations.
“What we want to move towards with this new approach, is that we already have new technology, where we can see where we will monitor between two checkpoints. We don’t want drivers to slow down only in front of the camera, but within a certain distance.

“Let’s say between point A and point B, we want to know how much time he (driver) takes. If he takes less time than he should, it means he is speeding and he will be penalised (fined),” he said. Before the ministry considers installing the monitoring technology in other areas, the new method will first be implemented in high-risk and dangerous areas, such as the hilly sections of the Kuala Lumpur-Karak Motorway (KLK) in Genting Sempah and the Menora Tunnel in Ipoh, Loke stated. Additionally, the minister announced that the High Speed-Weigh in Motion (HS-WIM) system, which is installed to automatically monitor the load of heavy vehicles, is anticipated to begin operations in the third quarter (Q3) of this year. He stated that 10 places around the country have been selected by the Ministry of Transportation (MOT) to be outfitted with the HS-WIM system. wim2.jpg
