The Hanoi People’s Committee has approved to pilot a smart traffic system in the capital in the last half of this year as proposed by the Hanoi’s Department of Transport in Document 2718/SGTVT-PTCNGTVT.
Under the pilot plan, a smart traffic management center will be established at the municipal public transport management and operation center at No.1 Kim Ma street, Ba Dinh district. Besides, equipment will be installed at two pilot intersections on Pham Van Bach street, Cau Giay district.
The smart management center is set to feature software to manage and record video streams with capabilities to connect and monitor security cameras, display real-time images, and provide alerts on equipment status and newly detected traffic violations. The system will also include software for traffic flow measurement, violation monitoring, and traffic light control.
Meanwhile, at the two intersections, cameras will be installed to measure vehicle density, integrate traffic data with mapping applications, and monitor speed. These cameras will also record and detect traffic violations to assist in their resolution. The Viettel Group will take responsibility for all expenses for implementation of the pilot plan.
According to the Hanoi’s Department of Transport, developing a smart and sustainable traffic system is a trend for urban areas worldwide. By 2030, the capital aims to become a modern smart city, gradually integrating with regional and global smart urban networks. Smart traffic management is a crucial component of this vision.- (VLLF)
