YANG BERHORMAT AWANG HAJI MOHAMAD DANIAL @ TEKPIN BIN YA’AKUB​

QUESTION:

YANG BERHORMAT AWANG HAJI MOHAMAD DANIAL @ TEKPIN BIN YA’AKUB asked the MINISTER OF TRANSPORTATION AND INFOCOMMUNICATION to state if the Ministry has plans towards the use of an Intelligent Traffic Control System (TCS) for traffic and road control systems in Negara Brunei Darussalam, in line with current progress and developed nations by the year 2035.

YANG BERHORMAT MENTERI PENGANGKUTAN DAN INFOKOMUNIKASI​

ANSWER:

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful, Assalamualaikum Warahmatullahi Taala Wabarakatuh, Peace be upon you and Good Morning, Yang Berhormat Yang Di-Pertua and Your Honourable Members,

Thank you to Yang Berhormat Awang Haji Mohamad Danial @ Tekpin bin Ya’akub for the question regarding the Intelligent Traffic Control System (TCS).

  1. For Yang Berhormat's information, the plan to introduce the Intelligent Traffic Control System (TCS) has indeed been implemented gradually, for example, some features of the traffic control system that have been installed include the installation of 'sensors' for all traffic lights and CCTV cameras at some traffic light junctions. These sensors function as detectors for data collection purposes regarding traffic volume, speed, and vehicle type by the Public Works Department. Meanwhile, the CCTV monitoring is implemented by the Royal Brunei Police Force.

  2. It is also a pleasure to share that through discussions at the National Road Safety Council (MKKJR) level, several measures have also been taken to enhance road safety, including plans for the installation of 'Speed Monitoring Devices'. This is to monitor and display vehicle speed limits with the aim of warning drivers when they exceed the speed limit in strategic areas and those identified as hotspot areas, places where accidents frequently occur, using data analysis through the 'Road Accident Data Enhancement and Development' (RADED).

  3. In addition, the Ministry and the Land Transportation Department under efforts in providing a Public Transportation System will also leverage technology to monitor vehicle movements and passenger facilities through the use of the 'Smart Transportation System' (STS). Among others, this system is also intended to have the capability of the 'In-Vehicle Monitoring System' (IVMS) and tracking which can be used in the intelligent traffic control system. This project is under the 12th National Development Plan (RKN).

  4. The 'In-Vehicle Monitoring System' or IVMS is a technology that collects, records, and analyzes data from vehicles. IVMS is frequently used to enhance safety, efficiency, and compliance with regulations, and it can also be used for enforcement purposes. The system consists of electronic devices installed in vehicles to monitor driver activities and help identify behaviors such as speeding.

  5. In conclusion, the systems shared earlier are intended to enhance monitoring and enforcement actions against traffic violations, specifically for heavy vehicles and public or commercial transportation later on.

Presented and thank you, Yang Berhormat Yang Di-Pertua.
