The Ministry of Transport has revealed that the Automated Awareness Safety System (AWAS) entails an annual maintenance costs of RM15.491.876.58. This comes in a parliamentary answer to Mohd Hasnizan Harun (PN-Hulu Selangor) of 13 August 2025.
According to the ministry, the amount of services and maintenance of cameras, back-office systems and the printing of summons includes. It added that based on a study by the Malaysian Institute for Road Safety Research (Miros) from 2014 to 2018, the installation of AWAS cameras has considerably increased compliance, with the perception of caught (POBC) to 99% reached for enforced locations.
“This suggests that the presence of these cameras has a substantial influence on the behavior of the driver at specific locations where they were installed,” said the ministry, as reported by The star. “The ministry continues to evaluate the effectiveness of the system and investigate ways to improve the reach and effectiveness throughout the country,” it added.
AWAS integrates both the AES (Automated Enforcement System) and Kjara Demerit Points system. In its newest form, AWAS cameras are more discreet and supposed to be used in testing pilot tests of a point-to-point speed monitoring system.
