NSTnation PLUS to deploy drones to monitor CNY traffic
Its chairman Datuk Mohamad Nasir Ab Latif said the use of the drone technology was suitable in providing information on traffic movement on the highways as well as optimising the use of social media.
He said PLUS was expecting about two million vehicles to ply the highway during the CNY holiday, an 18 per cent increase from 1.7 million during weekdays. "Based on research and analysis, PLUS expects the number of vehicles on the highway to be higher between Jan 22 and 28 and Jan 31 and Feb 1," he said at the launch of Ops Selamat 16/2020 in conjunction with CNY at Persada PLUS here today.
Also present were Deputy Inspector-General of Police Datuk Mazlan Mansor and Bukit Aman Traffic Investigation and Enforcement Department director Datuk Azisman Alias. Mohamad Nasir said 5,000 PLUS staff would be on duty during the festive season to ensure better control of traffic flow along the North-South Highway."In addition, maintenance works that require lane closures will be temporarily halted to allow road users to enjoy uninterrupted travel," he said.Related stories
