The Area Traffic Control (ATC) technology and other innovations have reduced travel time in busy spots in Bangkok by 25% after two years of implementation, according to the Bangkok Metropolitan Administration (BMA).

BMA spokesman Aekvarunyoo Amrapala said on Jan. 9 that the BMA introduced the ATC system, which adjusts traffic signal timing based on vehicle volume at several intersections in the city in May 2023.

This technology has increased traffic flow by 10% during peak hours and by 30% during non-peak hours since its implementation, he said.

The city has also installed CCTV cameras using artificial intelligence (AI) in many areas to detect traffic violations, he said. It has also improved roads for the comfort and convenience of motorists.
