SIMANGGANG: The ‘Sarawak Traffic Light Intelligence Logistic Excellence’ (STILE) system in Simanggang town is on track to achieve full artificial intelligence (AI) capability within the next three months.
Sri Aman Development Agency (SADA) chairperson Dato Sri Rohani Abdul Karim explained that the STILE traffic light system is still in its early stages and will need to operate continuously during this period.
Currently, the STILE traffic lights are gathering extensive data on traffic flow while also analysing the driving habits of road users in Simanggang.
This data collection will enable the system to predict peak and low traffic flow times as it prepares to reach full AI functionality.
Rohani urged road users in Simanggang to adhere to traffic laws, such as wearing seatbelts and refraining from using phones while driving.
“This system can detect such violations; however, our aim is not to issue fines but to educate road users on the importance of discipline on the road,” she emphasised in a news report by Sarawak Public Communications Unit (Ukas) yesterday (Oct 22).
She further noted that the STILE system is expected to propel Simanggang toward becoming a smart city in the future.
This initiative is part of SADA’s broader efforts to digitally transform the Sri Aman Division, particularly in Simanggang, and drive development in the region.
Sri Aman Division acting resident Mahra Salleh, SADA special administrative officer Datuk Indit Bangai, and Public Works Department (JKR) Sri Aman Division engineer Minjo Simanding were present. — DayakDaily
