Indonesia’s Jakarta city has unveiled an intelligent road-transportation application, the Electronic Registration Identification (ERI) system, which is aimed at upgrading the enforcement of traffic regulations in the city.

According to Irvan Prawira, the traffic police's chief of security and safety, motorists would be required to have an on-board unit (OBU) installed in their vehicle for transmission of vehicle and owner data to electronic readers set up at intervals on the road. Mobile readers will also be installed in police's patrol vehicles for recording traffic violations.  A data centre at the city’s traffic monitoring centre will monitor all vehicles across the city.  Traffic violations will be recorded by the electronic readers, while high-resolution cameras will capture the vehicle licence plates.

At the most basic levels, ITS has the potential to significantly reduce the amounts of time which vehicles spend waiting at intersections, and less time spent waiting means less in the way of vehicular emissions. All of that will hardly come as news to most laypeople, let alone transport professionals. However, the reality is that even today too many r

    In a bid to improve traffic congestion and reduce violations, Shanghai is to increase its traffic cameras by 200 annually. The new cameras will be added to locations and crossroads with frequent congestion and violations and to transportation hubs, said police. Shanghai successfully introduced traffic cameras in 1996; by the early 2000s, traffic violation cases on some roads and intersections had dropped by up to 80 percent, and the city now has more than 1,900 sets of surveillance cameras at local crossroa
