Thailand’s Department of Highways (DOH) has implemented intelligent transportation systems (ITS) to help monitor the speed of vehicles on the highways in an effort to improve road safety and enhance traffic data management.

The system was installed to monitor vehicles at danger spots along the highways north-east of Bangkok and uses microwave radar to detect vehicle location and speed.
