AES Shouldn t be Abolished
Title : AES Shouldn’t Be Abolished
AES, also known as the Automated Enforcement System, the main purpose of the invention of AES is to reduce the rising rate of road accidents. Car accident or crashing often occurs due to speeding and red-light violation. The AES is a system that able to sense and capture the car that exceeds the designated speed limit for a specified stretch of road or drives through a red light (typically at an intersection) then the AES camera will be triggered to capture the image of the vehicle, the JPJ will then issue summons to the offenders after verification. The reasons why AES shouldn’t be abolished are listed as following.
First of all, ever since the implementation of AES cameras in areas where there is a significant accident record, the rate of driver speeding and red-light violations have been reducing which means the rate of road accidents reduces as well. Statistic below shows that the successful implementations example of AES in Malaysia, with total of 7 AES camera in different areas, whereas the ‘Decay Rate’ is also known as reduction in speeding / red-light violations in the same location.
1st October 2012 – 28th July 2013
Location
Camera
Decay Rate
Slim River – KM375.9 Lebuhraya Utara Selatan
Fixed Camera
-49.10%
Sungkai – KM85.5 Jalan Ipoh-KL
-90.70%
Taiping – KM204.6 Lebuhraya Utara Selatan
-93.50%
Speed – KM7 Jln M’Rajalela Tlk Intan
Mobile Camera
0%
Speed – KM91 Ipoh Butterworth
-97.40%
Pasir Puteh – Traffic Light
Fixed Camera (In Traffic Light)
-61.00%
Sg Siput – Traffic Light
-2.30%
Table 1.1 shows that the outcome from the 7 AES camera in different locations
The other advantage is that the presence of the AES camera gives motorists the sense of awareness that their actions are being monitored; understand that if they try to break the law of traffic, they’ll face consequences such as traffic summons issued by the JPJ which is expensive. So with the presence of the AES cameras, even when they are not
