JPJ replaces damaged AES cameras with AWAS

The Road Transport Department (JPJ) has announced a significant shift in Malaysia’s traffic monitoring landscape. Due to major damage and insufficient manufacturer support for the previous Automated Enforcement System (AES) cameras, JPJ is replacing them with the Advanced Warning and Surveillance System (AWAS).

The AES, a crucial part of Malaysia’s traffic enforcement for years, faced numerous issues. These included technical malfunctions and lack of updates from the original manufacturers, leading to operational difficulties and frequent breakdowns. The situation became unsustainable, prompting JPJ to seek a more reliable and future-proof solution.

Enter AWAS, designed to address the shortcomings of AES. AWAS not only provides enhanced monitoring capabilities but also integrates advanced technologies to ensure better accuracy and reliability in capturing traffic violations. This new system aims to reduce traffic accidents and ensure safer roads across the country.

For drivers, this transition means a potential shift in how traffic violations are monitored and enforced. With AWAS, the focus is on providing clearer warnings and more precise tracking, which could lead to more consistent enforcement and possibly fewer surprises in the mail regarding traffic fines.
