Phuket to address traffic woes with AI control systems

[webfact]

Phuket is gearing up to address its ongoing traffic congestion through the implementation of cutting-edge artificial intelligence (AI) traffic control systems. The announcement came from Phuket Governor Sophon Suwannarat, who is hopeful that technological advancements can bring about a noticeable change in the island’s traffic flow.

 

Patong Police, in their ongoing effort to regulate traffic, continue to enforce stringent measures against illegal parking. Their campaign, aimed at clearing the roads of unlawfully parked vehicles, is showing no signs of slowing down.

 

Simultaneously, Phuket City Mayor, Saroj Angkanapilas, has been actively engaging with residents to gather their feedback and suggestions on the parking situation in the city. A recent public meeting led by the Mayor focused on addressing parking issues at the old Daeng Plaza on Phuket Road, situated in the heart of Phuket Town’s commercial district.

 

The outcome of this meeting, which was attended by 124 residents, suggested a preliminary design to accommodate parking for 161 cars, four taxis, 45 motorbikes, three passenger vans, and eight-passenger buses. A provision for two parking spaces for the disabled was also included in the plan.

I have heard these things called wheel clamps can be effective, and could pay for themselves in a month if the fee was 1k a pop,  but you would need an active police force out in the sun.  

 Or this.
