Hanoi: Hanoi will put into operation an additional 2,460 artificial intelligence (AI)-powered surveillance cameras from July 1 under the second phase of a project to upgrade the city’s Command Information Centre and traffic monitoring system. The system comprises 1,107 cameras for detecting traffic violations, 960 for vehicle flow monitoring, 112 for intersection monitoring, 251 pan-tilt-zoom (PTZ) cameras, and 30 for detecting speed violations. A total of 930 camera poles have been installed at 238 major intersections, gateways, and urban areas across the capital. With the latest deployment, the total number of AI-enabled cameras operating across Hanoi will increase to nearly 5,000.
According to Vietnam News Agency, the expansion is part of a broader initiative to enhance the city’s capability to manage traffic and ensure safety on its roadways. The AI-powered cameras are expected to play a crucial role in detecting violations, monitoring vehicle flow, and improving the overall efficiency of traffic management. This technological upgrade signifies a significant step forward in Hanoi’s efforts to modernize its urban infrastructure and provide a more secure environment for its residents.
