SHAH ALAM, March 16 — The state government will use the Smart Road Asset Management System (SRAMS) to monitor, identify and repair damaged roads more quickly and efficiently.
The system, which supports the application reporting potholes in roads (IRS) created by the Smart Selangor Delivery Unit, will make it easier for the public to file complaints accompanied by photos.
Menteri Besar Dato’ Seri Amirudin Shari said it would also help government agencies analyse the condition of highway assets affected by the major floods in Selangor at the end of last year.
“Through this system, users can not only file reports on a road’s quality and the shape of the ground’s surface but also include other accessories such as lights, traffic lights and road dividers.
“The system is very efficient, hence why we requested it be combined with IRS, whereas before the public made reports on the Waze system,” he said during SRAMS’ launch earlier today.
Speaking at the Sultan Salahuddin Abdul Aziz Shah Building, Amirudin said public complaints reporting methods would be expanded to social media using particular hashtags.
He added that all local authorities (PBT) would use the system as late as June to standardise assets and roads maintenance.
“We will see how it goes. Perhaps by the middle of the year, we will begin to combine the system with all PBTs, as for the time being, it is still with the Selangor Public Works Department,” Amirudin said.
The technology developed by Selgem Sdn Bhd via local experts early last year combines artificial intelligence, detection, and light expansion.
Encompassing smart drones and 360-degree cameras, it includes automatically identifying road damage such as potholes, workflow digitisation, and complaints.
