Less than a day after a new Automated Awareness Safety System (AWAS) speed camera was spotted on the ELITE Highway, the Road Transport Department (JPJ) has issued a press release explaining the rationale in replacing the old Automated Enforcement System (AES) cameras, which are now over a decade old.
The authorities said the upgrading of the system brings it in line with the latest technological developments, utilising Automated Number Plate Recognition (ANPR) to enable the cameras to function better. The new Ekin Spotter machines replace the old Redflex cameras, which JPJ claimed have suffered major damage and are no longer supported by the manufacturer.
As before, the AWAS cameras ensure enforcement of speed limits and prevent red light running in accordance with the Road Transport Act 1987 (Act 333), in line with the goal of reducing accidents and deaths on the road, JPJ stated. It also urged all road users to abide set regulations and be mindful of other motorists for the sake of personal and family safety, adding that it is committed to maintaining the safety and wellbeing of road users.
The Ekin Spotter is a modular device that not only functions as a speed camera but also be outfitted with modules such as a WiFi hotspot and city lighting. The AWAS camera has additionally been equipped with surveillance module that allows for 360-degree monitoring with day-and-night high-resolution imagery. The new black pole design does have the unfortunate (intentional?) side effect of being less visible to road users.
The Malaysian government indicated in June last year that it intended to install more AWAS cameras as it has been found to be very effective, with over 99% compliance recorded, according to the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS).
