MERGED : All About Kuala Lumpur [warna_warna]

View from Traffic Management Centre


In line with one of the objectives of the Structural Plan Kuala Lumpur 2020 to improve the management of the Klang Valley's transport infrastructure system, City Hall Kuala Lumpur (CHKL) has selected Integrated Transport Information System (ITIS) to improve the planning and traffic flow in the city.

CHKL also expects ITIS to fulfill the need to gather, share and make available accurate and up-to-date traffic information to road users to help them ease their traffic woes in the Klang Valley.

Brief traffic information of what to expect along the way, such as road congestion, will offer both motorists and commuters some peace of mind as they can decide which road to take or to avoid and the best time to travel to get to their destinations easier, faster and safer.

A comprehensive traffic management system, ITIS will integrate the present road transport network as well as provide a communications interface for sprawling road systems in the Klang Valley and Multimedia Super Corridor (MSC) area.

How ITIS works?

At the heart of ITIS is the Transport Management Centre (TMC), which serves as the hub or nerve centre of the entire ITIS system as it receives, processes and disseminates traffic information around the clock. System operators will then use this information to monitor the transportation system operations and formulate strategies to enhance transport management.





TMC houses two core support systems of ITIS, namely the Advanced Traffic Management System (ATMS) and the Advanced Traveller Information System (ATIS).
A fully automated system, ATMS binds primary traffic data collected from Automatic Incident Detection (AID) system and Automatic Vehicle Location System (AVLS). The AID system detects traffic congestion on the roads while the AVLS provides real time travel database.

The system also manages the Closed Circuit Television (CCTV) surveillance cameras to monitor traffic situation and congestions. In addition, ATMS updates real-time road condition messages on Variable Message Signs (VMS) boards along major roads.

Information gathered on traffic situations and congestion will be sent to TMC for analysis and evaluation before being transformed into useful traffic information. TMC operators will use this information to formulate traffic management strategies such as maximising roadway capacity usage, reducing travel times and improving traffic safety.

At the same time, ATIS will deliver this real-time traffic information to road users and commuters in the form of a congestion map, travel speed map and incident map via the Internet (with support for wireless services) and Call Centre.

Road users will get updated information on road conditions and congestion via Variable Message Signs (VMS) units located strategically along major roads.

ITIS Benefits

Intelligent Transport systems such as ITIS have been widely and successfully implemented in major cities around the world, bringing significant benefits to motorists and commuters.

Some of the benefits of ITIS:

Allows informed decisions to be made on travel (i.e. choice of routes, modes and schedules)
Enables real-time capture of traffic information for incident management and long-term transport planning
Alleviates traffic congestion and delays during rush hour periods and emergency situations
Reduces accidents, their severity and impact on the highway
Improves emergency assistance for motorists and commuters
Reduces travel times and promotes more uniform traffic flow
Reduces pollution as a result of less time idling in traffic
Provides comfort, safety and security in highway travel particularly around construction zones
Improves utilisation of available road capacity
Improves quality of life in the Klang Valley

A complain I retrieved from Starblog, it seems our buse drivers still retain their bad habits despite new buses and new coats of paint on their buses  

I agree with Selvandran that bus drivers in Malaysia tend to wait until 30 minutes for the bus to get full, it makes me mad when they do that. The Putraline feeder bus drivers always do that in Wangsa Maju....!


Not So Rapid After All- RAPIDKL - Day 2

Day 2: The trouble with RapidKL

Hoping for the best but we Malaysian are always served with less then average service, I know this less then average service best describes RapidKL. Without any choice, since I got the Monthly Travel Card, I had to wait for the RapidKL bus. At KLCC waiting for the 114 bus for almost 30 minutes (so much for the advertised 5 minute intervals), the worst thing was another 114 was tailing the 1st one, makes me wonder....is there any planning done to ensure the smooth flow of bus. Then I reached Maluri and from there boarded another bus to Leisure Mall- Tmn Segar. While in Tmn Segar bus station I waited for about 15 minutes and at last the bus came and I gladly boarded that bus hoping to reach home in about 10-15 minute but to my dismay.... the driver park the bus there and went for a walk, came back after 10 minute and just waited for more people to board the bus, all in all it took us 20 minute just waiting, while all the previous Metrobus and SJ bus was passing by. How I wish I didn't take the Monthly Travel Card...

That was yesterday, again hoping that the RapidKL service will be better this morning... again disappointed... I had to wait from 5.50am to 6.50am - THAT IS ONE HOUR, but the advertised interval in 15 minutes, not sure what translation that the folks in RapidKL is using that 15 minutes could some how mean 1 hour to them. Well I thought that the RapidKL bus service is suppose to start at 6am but now it seem to start at 7.00am... another amazing discovery is, now RapidKL drivers can park their bus and wait... their reason not mush passenger in the bus, this waiting can last up to 30 minutes. So this morning all my schedule got ruin, I start work at 7am but reached my office at about 8.00am.... can you imagine it took me 2 hours to reach my office and I'm not staying in Seremban. One whole hour wasted.... so much for productivity.... if everyday I waste one hour multiply by 20 days, equals to 20 hour per month that is only for one person, imagine if this happens for 1000 individual (1000 x 20= 20,000hours per month = such a waste of productivity) and without including all the stress.

I hope that the goverment will take mesure to ensure that a company that is own by the goverment is providing good quality service, no point if there's new buses and the service is bad.

There's plan for each housing area to form a club/ association, so that we could voice out our grudges and take action if the situation becomes worst.

Metrobus and SJ bus, if I may suggest, please come out with your own Monthly travel card and some value-added initiatives.

Personally, it would have been better for the government to just invest in the current bus companies rather then having it's own public transportation company. People would have so much happier if the efficiency of the previous Intrakota and Cityliner and the current Metrobus and SJ bus could have been enhance. Again RapidKL you are not so Rapid after all... wanna change name... how about Not-So-Rapid. Just the thought of tomorrow morning makes me sigh and tired... how much I dread the thought of waiting for the RapidKL bus. One thing for sure I'm not going to get the Monthly Travel Card anymore. Please do something about this....
