Traffic flow optimization is just one of the applications of AI in Intelligent Transport Systems. Currently, Hanoi City has been implementing AI application solution packages in the field of traffic control and piloting intelligent transport models.

Piloted from 2024, the Hanoi Urban Traffic Management and Operation Center with a management software system and peripheral devices has 12 basic functions including: Traffic monitoring; providing traffic information; traffic control; supporting the handling of traffic safety violations; public transport management; parking management; incident management; traffic infrastructure management; public transport electronic ticket payment management; transportation management; traffic demand management; traffic simulation in transport management, exploitation and operation.

AI will be gradually applied to these functions to provide effective solutions, contributing to improving efficiency in city traffic management and operation.

According to traffic experts, smart traffic systems help optimize traffic flows, making traffic smooth. Thereby, saving travel time, reducing fuel costs and the number of vehicles participating in traffic. At the same time, contributing to reducing emissions that pollute the environment, reducing the possibility of traffic accidents...

Contribute to improving the effectiveness of monitoring and handling violations

Hanoi currently has hundreds of traffic surveillance cameras operating 24/7, recording violations on the roads. Data from the cameras will be transmitted directly to the Traffic Command Center (Hanoi Traffic Police Department) for authorities to monitor, analyze and handle.

With smart surveillance cameras, traffic situations on many streets, intersections, conflicts, traffic collisions, etc. are continuously updated to the center. Car and motorbike license plates are clearly recorded by cameras in real time.

In addition, the City is expanding the deployment of smart surveillance camera systems, integrating AI to support the maintenance of security and order and more effective traffic monitoring.

Specifically, the City Police are expanding their surveillance network with four projects to install 3,700 more AI cameras to improve security and order and traffic management. The new system will be able to recognize faces and license plates, helping to verify identities in security-related incidents.

At the same time, the system also monitors and detects traffic violations, providing real-time safety risk warnings. In addition, this camera system will be integrated with intelligent operating data, allowing for quick response in emergency situations...

A representative of the Hanoi Traffic Police Department said that with the current camera system, if people do not voluntarily comply, or only comply when the Traffic Police are present, the cameras will record and notify the on-duty checkpoints on the road for handling.

The reasons for forgetting to bring documents or losing documents to avoid being detained are not convincing, when just looking up on the current application software will give the parameters of name, age, vehicle owner and violation history so that the traffic police can handle it according to regulations.

In addition, installing AI cameras also helps the city apply it in many other areas such as detecting sidewalk encroachment and littering to keep the city cleaner; supporting security, detecting incidents on the road to ensure people's safety; providing data for urban planning to help Hanoi develop in a more systematic and scientific direction. This is the foundation of a smart city.

It can be seen that the application of science and technology is a remarkable trend. This trend not only helps to improve the effectiveness of monitoring and handling violations, but also contributes to transparency in the implementation of tasks, minimizing disputes between authorities and traffic participants when implementing reminders and penalties.

Thanks to modern and advanced technology devices, violation data is accurately recorded, fully stored and can be extracted so that people can review their violations in a realistic way. From there, it not only supports the quick and accurate handling of violations but also raises awareness of traffic law compliance, spreading messages about culture when participating in traffic to people...
