Plus Malaysia Bhd is leveraging on artificial intelligence to ease traffic congestion on toll highways across Malaysia by having its traffic camera system read and detect a vehicle’s identifying features in just seconds.

VehicleTrack, implemented by KL-based startup Tapway, allows Plus traffic cameras to detect a vehicle’s license plate, class, make and colour in as little as 50 milliseconds even when the vehicle is travelling at up to 40km per hour while approaching a toll plaza.
