People might be divided about artificial intelligence. But the use of AI cams and warning systems at zebra crossings in Bangkok has already won the hearts of pedestrians. The problem is the price of the associated technology should have been cheaper.
Since May, the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA) has installed several cameras fitted with sensors at two major traffic junctions in Bangkok: the Wong Sawang and Arun Amarin intersections.
Another 18 will be installed at intersections with high accidents. These 20 sets cost 100 million baht in total. Each set comprises four CCTV cameras and a system to record all footage and relay it to a central database, plus a sensor system and sound to detect when cars pass over zebra crossings during a red light.
