The Ministry of Transport has announced that the pilot testing of the point-to-point speed monitoring system (AWAS) has not yet begun, according to Berita Harian.

Currently, there is no information regarding the scheduled start date for the new system, and any developments will be announced in due course.

In a prior report, it was stated that this artificial intelligence (AI)-based system will be tested at two major highway locations: from the Genting Sempah Tunnel to the Gombak Rest Stop (KLK), and from the Senawang Toll Plaza to the Simpang Ampat Toll Plaza (PLUS).

There are also plans to install the system at locations that are frequent accident hotspots, such as the Menora Tunnel to Sungai Perak Rest Stop (PLUS).

Transport Minister Anthony Loke previously mentioned that the implementation of this system was expected to begin this June.

This new system is designed to replace the existing static camera method, which is deemed ineffective in reducing vehicle speeds.

If drivers are detected arriving earlier than the expected time, a fine will be automatically issued through the vehicle registration number detection system.

The system is also capable of detecting if drivers stop as a tactic to evade detection.
