The Ministry of Transport (MOT) has confirmed that the pilot project for the new Point-to-Point Speed Monitoring System under the Automated Awareness Safety System (AWAS) has not started. This comes amidst widespread rumors floating on social media suggesting it would begin operations this month from June 1 onwards.

According to a report by local daily NST citing a brief statement issued by the Transport Minister’s office, it said that currently there is no details on when the pilot will begin - any updates will be announced later.

The system, which uses Artificial Intelligence (AI) to monitor speeding, was previously announced for testing on two major highways - from the Genting Sempah Tunnel to the Gombak rest stop, and from the Senawang Toll Plaza to the Simpang Ampat Toll Plaza near Alor Gajah.

It is also planned for installation along longer, accident-prone stretches such as the route from the Menora Tunnel to the Sungai Perak rest stop.

According to MOT Secretary-General Datuk Jana Santhiran Muniayan, the system is designed to measure how long a vehicle takes to travel between two fixed points. If a driver reaches the endpoint faster than the expected time, the system will detect the vehicle’s number plate and issue a speeding summons automatically.

He also noted that the system can detect if a driver attempts to trick it by stopping midway to delay their arrival and avoid detection.

Earlier this year, Transport Minister Anthony Loke had stated that the system was expected to be implemented starting in June. However, the latest clarification from his office shows that the actual rollout of the pilot project has yet to begin.

Meanwhile, a network of 17 AWAS camera stations has already been strategically deployed to monitor traffic flow and driver behavior. These cameras are located along both northbound and southbound stretches of major highways.

Northbound locations include Bandar Baharu (KM 204.6), Taiping (KM 299.9), Kampar (KM 375.9), Slim River (KM 301.6), Kajang (KM 214.4), Alor Gajah (KM 184.2), Jasin (KM 151.4), Pagoh (KM 1), and two sites in Johor Bahru (KM 174 and KM 97.2).

On the southbound side, cameras are stationed at Kuala Muda (KM 96.3), Seberang Perai Selatan (KM 166), Alor Gajah (KM 214.4), Behrang (KM 328.8), Bemban (KM 185), Pagoh (KM 146.8), and Johor Bahru (KM 1).
