Overview of Transport Information
System in Malaysia

What is Transport Information System (TIS)? Transport Information System can be describe
deploy technology to implement intelligent application in transportation system to manage
the transportation management. In generally, TIS is a system in which combining data,
information, communication system and intelligent technologies to apply in transportation
management. The purpose of TIS is provide a better user experience for road users by the
information given by TIS, the information usually such as real time traffic condition and
estimate travel time.

In Malaysia, an estimate around 93% of Malaysia households owing at least 1 car, the personal
vehicle become as a dominant mode of transport for Malaysian when need travel from 1 place
to another place. According to the survey from BCG, in next 5 years out of 83% of respondent
will by a car in Kuala Lumpur. The rising of population growth and number of personal vehicles
caused the congestion and out of 83% of respondent will by a car in Kuala Lumpur. The rising
of population growth and number of personal vehicles caused the congestion and heavily
traffic condition in Malaysia. As an estimate, people who live in Kuala Lumpur spent an
average 53 minutes everyday in the traffic jams. The transport information system in Malaysia
is aim to improve the traffic network and transport management to overcome traffic jams and
congestion due to increase in population and number of vehicle.

DASH EXPRESSWAY

Transport Information System (TIS) existence in Malaysia to control the
traffic operation since 1999. A strategic plan named “ITS Strategic Plan for
Malaysia: A Way Forward” was implemented to improve the traffic
management in Malaysia and consist a framework for development in
Transport Information System in Malaysia. Moving to 2004, ITS Master Plan
was introduce in order to continue development with ITS Strategic Plan. In
2007, ITS System Architecture published to provide a detail architecture
framework of development of ITS in Malaysia. Until now, Malaysian ITS
Blueprint 2019-2023 was introduce to enhance and innovation in TIS in
Malaysia for connecting mobility, safety and sustainable in the urban and
rural area in Malaysia.

In year 2005 until 2008, several
integrated transport information
system was implement in Malaysia
to allow a better traffic
management, operation and
optimise the efficient and efficiency
of existing and future transportation
infrastructure. In 2005, a total
around US $100 million was
provided to complete the Integrated
Transport Information System (ITIS).
This system operate with 140
variable message signboards (VMS)
to provide real time information and
data to road users based on traffic
network in Malaysia. The system
working with ATMS and ATIS
platform technologies to provide
real time view for traffic
management.

In 2007, the establish of Malaysia Highway
Authority National Traffic Management Center
(MHA) is to improve the management and
coordinates the toll operations in nationwide
tolled highways. MHA deploy traffic
information system to control and
surveillance the toll collection system at the
highway around Malaysia. Several of
Integrated Transport Information System
introduce by MHA to road users which related
to traffic information and advisory. While in
2008, Projek Lebuhraya Utara Selatan Berhad
(PLUS) establish PLUS Traffic Monitoring
Center to monitoring and tracking the traffic
network in Malaysia. The traffic monitoring
center operates 24 hours all year round to
provide real time traffic information, accident
reporting and traffic assistance to road users.

As conclusion, the objective of
Transport Information System (TIS) in
Malaysia is improve road safety and
minimise travel cost and time to road
users. Within the benefits brought by
Transport Information System (TIS), it
can optimise the efficiency of use of
highways and transportation
infrastructure, hence it will be
increasing the road capacity to prevent
traffic jams. Not only that, the
implement of TIS also enhance the
quality of environment through
reduction in carbon dioxide released by
vehicle on the road.

The objective of Transport Information System (TIS) in Malaysia is create a
seamless intelligent mobility and congestion-free network to increase road
safety to all users. Cooperation and collaboration between government
department and agencies also increase the efficiency of operation. The
Transport Information System (TIS) change traffic network into new world with
involving technology. TIS reduce traffic congestion in the city by efficient
management in traffic and transportation. TIS also improve the monitoring and
enforcement activities to enchance the safety of road users. Collaboration
between government department and agencies also simplify the
implementation of plan and programme to enhance Transport Information
System in Malaysia.

involved are MOT, JPJ, JKR, MHA, MITI, Logistic

Management Agency (NADMA) is a government
agency in Malaysia that focuses in disaster
management. They will gather data from government
agencies and statutory entities, as well as the
commercial sector and non-profit groups. For more
information, MERS 999 is a call center that combines
and coordinates all emergency agencies, including
the Ministry of Health, the Royal Malaysian Police

Thus, ATIS can increase the efficiency

Cutting-edge
software and a

equipment

The following will capture real-time traffic
information:

CLOSED CIRCUIT TELEVISION (CCTV) CAMERAS
They are called the "eyes" of the ITIS, consisting of
approximately 255 cameras, including pan-tilt zoom
cameras set on bars up to 15 metres high on the side of
the road to obtain a view of the traffic situation.

AUTOMATIC INCIDENT DETECTION SYSTEMS (AIDS)
Comprises 728 AID cameras that are capable of gathering
travel speed, volume and queute length data, and notify
incident for up to eight lanes using "machine vision.".

AUTOMATIC VEHICLE LOCATION SYSTEMS (AVLS)
It is designed to monitor and track the vehicles location by
acquiring the data from global positioning system (GPS)
satellites. AVLS will provide vehicle information to
investigators including the location, speed, and stops.
There are 1600 public transportation vehicles equipped
with GPS tracking systems, allowing them to be tracked 24
hours per day and providing data points that are
constantly changing for the real-time trip database.

AUTOMATIC INCIDENT
DETECTION SYSTEMS
(AIDS)

PTZ (left) and AID (right) cameras are
strategically located on the roadways and
motorways to provide real-time traffic
information.

AID systems utilize the data and image
streams accessible from road sensors and
cameras, in order to continuously
monitor the traffic conditions for
patterns that indicate an incident may
occur.

Video-based AID systems can provide
traffic flow, volume and speed statistics
in real-time. They may record images at
the origin of the occurrence and connect
with other systems, such as the SCADA
system.
