The Malaysian road transport department (JPJ) has announced the implementation of the Automated Number Plate Recognition Integrated Enforcement Project (ANPR P-B). The 36-month project involves the use of 375 ANPR cameras, 1,000 smart management enforcement devices (SmED) and the development of a control centre in Cyberjaya. “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. This development comes around four months after 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 That’s an outdated approach.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. Outside enforcement, ANPR is of course used at many Klang Valley locations (especially malls) for parking payment, and PLUS uses it for toll collection on a stretch of the North-South Highway.
