Malaysia implements AI in road management – Nanta

Malaysia is one of the countries using artificial intelligence (AI) in its road and infrastructure management, increasing efficiency, safety and effectiveness, said works minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi, according to a Bernama report.

“Through smart monitoring technologies like drones, sensors and the Internet of Things (IoT), we can detect road damage in real time. AI helps us analyse this data to identify locations that need immediate attention and to predict potential future damage,” he said in his ‘Malaysia’s Future-Ready, Hyper-Connected Cities: Policies, Progress and the Path Ahead’ presentation at the 2025 Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) Asia Pacific Forum in South Korea yesterday.

“The ITS is currently a basic requirement in the construction of future cities that are resilient, efficient and sustainable. The Malaysian ITS Roadmap 2030 being developed will be our main guide in transforming the country’s ITS landscape,” he added.

Said roadmap incorporates five pillars: hyperconnected transportation through seamless smart mobility, a pathway towards green and sustainable mobility, strengthened public services through the digitalisation of transportation, a safe and secure transport ecosystem and the use of data for mobility and transportation planning, said Nanta.

“All these plans can be translated into action. Malaysia will continue to innovate, invest and collaborate to build a country that is hyperconnected,” he said, mentioning advancements in autonomous vehicles, the use of electric public transport vehicles, the introduction of the Multi-Lane Free Flow (MLFF) system and the establishment of the National Intelligent Traffic Management Centre (NITMC) in Malaysia.

“These transformation initiatives illustrate Malaysia’s strong commitment to building a safer, more efficient and sustainable transport ecosystem, in line with our broader vision towards hyperconnected cities,” said the works minister.

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.

  • No need AI, it’s easy to detect road damages. New contractor korek the road will never fix it back properly. Always need 3-4 times repair job. Either their repair budget is too small, their skill is too poor, or purposely did not fix correctly so there will always be road repair job.
