Malaysia considers nationwide AI system to detect accidents and improve rescue times.
The Malaysian Highway Authority is considering fully implementing ARIDS, an AI-based system that detects road accidents in real-time to speed up rescue responses. Currently in pilot stages on 1,000km of expressways, ARIDS autonomously detects accidents and notifies users via WhatsApp. It also analyzes traffic congestion and traffic lights. Full implementation could improve road safety and response times, according to road safety expert Assoc Prof Dr Law Teik Hua.
