Vietnam’s expressways embrace digital transformation for smarter traffic management

Vietnam's expressway network is undergoing a significant transformation, moving towards a network-based management system that leverages digital operations and integrated systems. This shift aims to enhance traffic management and safety, aligning with global trends.

To facilitate this transition, a unified institutional framework is being established, along with a shared technical infrastructure and a central data platform for coordinated management. The Vietnam Road Administration is at the forefront of this change, developing a shared data platform to bolster monitoring, incident detection, and decision-making processes.

The development of this central data platform is a collaborative effort involving Vietnamese government ministries, traffic management centers, and technology partners. The platform integrates information from various sources, including traffic management centers, toll stations, surveillance cameras, and sensors. This integration enables improved monitoring, incident prediction, and data-driven decision-making capabilities, ultimately enhancing the efficiency and safety of Vietnam's expressway network.

The shift towards network-based management and digital operations in Vietnam's expressway network is expected to bring about significant improvements in traffic management and safety. The development of the central data platform, through collaboration between government ministries, traffic management centers, and technology partners, is a key milestone in this transition. As the platform becomes operational, it will provide a robust foundation for coordinated management, incident response, and data-driven decision-making.
