City / Theme Overview Report Project
Bangkok (2024) In Bangkok, illegal on-street parking in designated no-parking zones has become routine, and the effectiveness of current patrol-based enforcement is limited due to the inability to detect violations in real time. This project aimed to demonstrate an efficient enforcement support system targeting parking violations, which are a major contributing factor to the severe traffic congestion in Bangkok—one of the most critical issues among ASEAN cities. Leveraging AI image recognition technology from a Japanese company, a standalone system was developed to automatically detect illegally parked vehicles from existing CCTV footage and notify police officers via their work smartphones, including details such as parking duration. The system was installed on pedestrian bridges at two locations in no-parking zones in central Bangkok for the pilot demonstration. As a result, it was confirmed that receiving real-time alerts enabled officers to respond promptly, significantly improving enforcement efficiency. Furthermore, the project calculated the costs for system construction and operation and proposed a subscription-based deployment model. The Bangkok Metropolitan Administration and the Royal Thai Police both expressed strong interest in the initiative.

Bangkok (2023) In central Bangkok, Thailand, severe traffic congestion remains a critical issue. While traffic violations such as ignoring traffic signals and illegal parking are widespread, enforcement efforts have been insufficient. In response, this project focused on illegal parking as a major contributing factor and explored the potential for supporting enforcement through the automatic detection of parking violations using Japanese AI and image recognition technology in conjunction with existing CCTV cameras. The study involved a pilot experiment conducted in sixteen areas of Bangkok, using video footage to confirm that the AI system could accurately detect parking violations. Furthermore, a conceptual system diagram and a business model, including revenue collection mechanisms, were developed and proposed, demonstrating the practical potential of the technology to improve enforcement efficiency and alleviate traffic congestion.

Infrastructure Management (2023) In ASEAN countries experiencing increasing heavy traffic due to economic development, infrastructure aging and delays in maintenance have become prominent issues. Across the region, inspection technologies, budget allocations, and systems for human resource development are lagging behind, leading to a growing demand for long-term, stable, and cost-effective maintenance solutions that are easy to implement and deliver immediate benefits. This project aimed to introduce tailored maintenance technologies and build business models suited to the specific needs of each country and city. Based on current situation assessments, the project proposed optimal solutions for each case: predictive maintenance using large language models in Singapore; a roadmap for demonstration and implementation in Indonesia; public-private sector engagement proposals in Malaysia; and a collaborative framework involving 3D mapping and academia-government-industry partnerships in Thailand. These efforts contributed to the development of a sustainable infrastructure maintenance support system across the region.

Smart JAMP(2023) Surveys and Studies for the Realization of Smart Cities Related to Smart JAMP Infrastructure Management

Surveys and Studies for the Realization of Smart Cities Related to Smart JAMP Infrastructure Management
Infrastructure Management (2022) This study is to investigate the possibility of introducing an infrastructure management system that utilizes advanced technology. The system provides the function of an infrastructure diagnostic system that utilizes image analysis technology using AI that contributes to road maintenance field. As a characteristic advantage, the system is a smartphone-based application and using a cloud service for storing data and analyzing. The system will be able to provide instantly road inspection skill and road maintenance technologies accumulated in Japan to road managers in ASEAN countries without a large amount of initial investment. In this study, we try to get opportunities to introduce the system in Indonesia and Singapore, and field trial in the studies are conducted with not only road authorities but also private companies who conduct road inspection for getting realistic evaluations and reflecting to localization in each country.
