Kementerian Wilayah Persekutuan bersama Dewan Bandaraya Kuala Lumpur (DBKL) dan unit siasatan polis trafik Kuala Lumpur kini dalam perbincangan untuk menentukan kebolehlaksanaan menggunakan kamera lalulintas sekitar bandar untuk menyaman pemandu yang melakukan kesalahan.

Timbalan Menteri Wilayah Persekutuan Datuk Seri Jalaludin Alias ​​berkata kementerian akan membincangkan perkara ini dengan Datuk Bandar Kuala Lumpur Datuk Seri Mahadi Che Ngah mengenai idea itu, sambil menambah datuk bandar telah dimaklumkan mengenai menaik taraf semua kamera trafik bandar raya di Kuala Lumpur.

“Kami akan berbincang dengan polis trafik KL serta penasihat undang-undang kami dan pejabat Peguam Negara untuk menyemak isu kesahihan mengeluarkan saman trafik menggunakan bukti yang diambil daripada imej CCTV,” katanya.

“Kamera kami boleh menangkap imej masa nyata dengan tepat. Oleh itu, kami berharap kami boleh mengeluarkan saman menggunakan imej tersebut kepada peraturan lalu lintas yang melanggar peraturan tersebut. Kami percaya ini akan mendidik mereka yang melanggar peraturan jalan raya secara berterusan dan membantu mengurangkan kesesakan,” tambah Jalaludin.

Jalaludin berkata kamera itu mempunyai ciri-ciri untuk merakam aktiviti haram seperti parkir haram, parkir di laluan kuning dan lorong bas termasuk penjaja yang beroperasi di kawasan yang tidak dibenarkan.

“Sesetengahnya mungkin membawa isu itu kepada mahkamah apabila kami memanggil mereka menggunakan rakaman ini, jadi sebab itu kami perlu menyelesaikan isu undang-undang sebelum melaksanakannya,” katanya.

Jalaludin bercakap kepada pemberita di Jalan Istana pagi ini selepas operasi trafik bersepadu untuk menahan kenderaan berat melebihi 7.5 tan daripada memasuki pusat bandar dari 6.30 pagi hingga 9.30 pagi dan 4.30 petang hingga 7.30 malam setiap hari.

Ini adalah sebahagian daripada pasukan petugas yang ditubuhkan bulan lepas untuk menyelia dan mengkaji aliran trafik di Kuala Lumpur, satu langkah yang bertujuan mengurangkan kesesakan yang semakin teruk di bandar itu.

  • PLUS will add 11 more Automated Awareness Safety System (AWAS) cameras will be added along the North-South Highway.

  • The number adds to the 19 currently in place.

  • Priority will be given to the stretch near the Menora Tunnel.

11 more Automated Awareness Safety System (AWAS) cameras will be added along the North-South Highway (PLUS).

The installation will take place in phases. According to the Deputy Minister of Transportation, Datuk Kamarudin Jaffar, the locations will be determined after studies by PLUS Malaysia Berhad and the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research. Results from the research will be ready later this year.

The 11 new AWAS cameras will supplement the 19 currently in place. The sites chosen for the will consist of stretches that are accident prone and have caused many casualties.

Priority will be given to the Menora Tunnel near Ipoh, Perak. The hilly and winding stretch has seen many serious accidents and deaths over the decades.

There was an earlier talk about installing the system along the first Penang Bridge but there was no mention about it this time. The bridge has seen its share of fatal accidents including the recent one in which an SUV rolled over the barrier and crashed into the sea.

PLUS will undertake the costs of installation and maintenance, estimated at RM 3 million each.

Do note that AWAS cameras can detect motorcycles, too.

  • PLUS akan mengusulkan pemasangan lebih banyak kamera AES di ke semua enam buah lebuh raya mereka.
  • Jika diluluskan, ia akan turut dipasang di Jambatan Pulau Pinang.
  • Namun, bagaimanakah kamera AES ini berfungsi?

  • PLUS will propose to install more AES speed cameras on all their six highways.

  • If approved, installation will include the Penang Bridge.

  • But how does the AES speed camera work?

In the news

PLUS (Projek Lebuhraya Utara Selatan Berhad) will submit a proposal to the authorities to install more AES (Automated Enforcement System) speed cameras.

The concessionaire is thinking of installing more of the speed cameras on all six highways under their charge. If the proposal is approved, the cameras will also be installed on the Penang Bridge.

Speaking to The Star, PLUS Managing Director Datuk Azman Ismail said the proposal is to ensure road users obey traffic laws and create road safety awareness.

Datuk Azman made the statement at the launching of Ops Selamat 14. The operation will be held from 29thJanuary to 12thFebruary in conjunction with the Chinese New Year.

How Does the AES Work?

We’ve heard some motorcyclists say that covering the motorcycle’s speedometer will avoid the AES snapping the speedometer. We didn’t know if we should laugh or cry.

The AES trigger works by determining how much time it took the vehicle to travel through a set distance. Remember the formula Speed = Distance/Time? (Please click here if you don’t.)

There are two types of sensors:
  1. Piezo or inductive loop sensors embedded in the road. These are to detect “slower” speeds over the limit. This system is also used to detect traffic at some intersections.
  2. A radar detector attached on the outside of the camera housing. This detects vehicles that travel at higher speeds.

For the road detectors, a pair are embedded some distance before the camera. The earlier the vehicle passes both, the faster it is travelling.

Radar works by bouncing microwaves off an object. The faster the waves return to the detector, the nearer the object is to the detector. The processing unit calculates the time difference between when the first wave was returned to the subsequent waves. The faster they come back, the faster the vehicle is travelling.

For example:

Let’s assume the two detectors or radar waves are 20 metres apart, and the car crosses in 0.5 second.

Speed = 50m/5 second = (20/1000) km/(2/3600) hr = 0.02 km/0.00014 hr = 142 km/h

Kerajaan akan membatalkan 3.1 juta saman AES (Automated Enforcement System).
Keputusan ini seiringan dengan pengambilalihan operasi AES oleh Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan bermula 1 September 2018.
Menteri Pengangkutan Anthony Loke menekankan yang ini adalah tawaran sekali sahaja.

  • The government is foregoing 3.1 million AES (Automatic Enforcement System) summons.

  • This decision is in line with the Cabinet (JPJ) taking over AES operations from 1st September 2018.

  • Transport Minister Anthony Loke stressed that this is a one-off deal.

The government has announced that they are nullifying speeding summons recorded by the Automated Enforcement System (AES).

Transport Minister Anthony Loke made the announcement during a press conference earlier today in line with the Cabinet’s decision to take over the operations of AES from two private companies beginning 1st September 2018.

“This is a one-off,” he said, “There will not be any more such offers or discounts.”

However, no refunds will be paid to those who have paid their AES summons earlier, to whom the Minister addressed, “I know those who have paid will feel it is unfair that we are cancelling unpaid summons. I would like to say thank you and sorry at the same time.”

Only 690,000 AES summons were paid for since 2012, leaving 3.1 million unpaid worth RM430 million.

The agreement with the current operators is set to end on 31st August 2018, but the government has no plans to renew it. Instead, operations will be taken over by the Road Transport Department (JPJ – Jabatan Pengangkutan Jalan). “Operations” means taking of photos and issuance of summons.

The decision to not renew the concessions agreement with Beta Tegap Sdn. Bhd. and ATES Sdn. Bhd. was “because the payment system to these two companies were lopsided and received public backlash. For every summon issued, RM16 was paid to them.”

“In 2015, the (previous) government had ordered Lembaga Tabung Angkatan Tentera (LTAT) through its subsidiary Irat Properties to take over the operations of AES. RM555 million was paid to both companies for just 40 speed cameras along the highways,” revealed Loke.
