KUALA LUMPUR — Malaysia continues to move forward in enhancing its road management by leveraging artificial intelligence (AI) technology, thus increasing the efficiency, safety and effectiveness of road and infrastructure management.

Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said Malaysia is not only an observer of such technology but is currently among the countries implementing AI technology in road management.

“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 this when making a presentation on ‘Malaysia’s Future-Ready, Hyper-Connected Cities: Policies, Progress and the Path Ahead’ at the 2025 Intelligent Transport Systems (ITS) Asia Pacific Forum in Suwon, South Korea today.
