JPJ working on ANPR for enforcement, can detect offences involving road tax, insurance, phone use

The Malaysian road transport department (JPJ) is working on the implementation of the Automated Number Plate Recognition Integrated Enforcement Project (ANPR P-B). The 36-month pilot project will involve the use of 375 ANPR cameras, 1,000 smart management enforcement devices (SmED) and the development of a control centre in Cyberjaya, although when the project will begin is yet to be confirmed.

“This system allows various traffic offences to be automatically detected including involving LKM (road tax), insurance, VEP (Vehicle Entry Permit), Road Charge as well as offences involving mobile phone use, running red lights and emergency lane (misuse),” JPJ director-general Datuk Aedy Fadly Ramli said.

Earlier this year, transport minister Anthony Loke said that the JPJ should adopt ANPR tech to replace roadblocks for enforcement purposes. “I don’t want to see JPJ setting up roadblocks after toll plazas, turning six lanes into one. People will get angry. That’s an outdated approach. JPJ must also change and adopt smarter methods,” he said then.

In 2016, Johor became the first state in Malaysia to use ANPR for vehicle enforcement, while last year, Penang began using it for parking payment enforcement. Enforcement aside, ANPR is of course used at many Klang Valley locations (especially malls) for parking payment, and PLUS is piloting it for toll collection on a stretch of the North-South Highway.

While most dream of the future, Jonathan Tan dreams of the past, although he's never been there. Fantasises much too often about cruising down Treacher Road (Jalan Sultan Ismail) in a Triumph Stag that actually works, and hopes this stint here will snap him back to present reality.

  • From the looks of it, everytime we see a supercar on the road, it’s safe to assume that 90% of the time it has no road tax, no insurance, and the license plate is either a law-breaking fancy plate or a false plate altogether. So much for being “status symbols”. These cars have become nothing more than scammer symbols. so it is safe to assume that the T15 are lawbreaking crimimal scum , remind me again why they should be entitled to subsidies?
