ITMAX scales AI traffic management platform, targets 17,000 cameras by 2027
KUALA LUMPUR: ITMAX System Bhd is expanding its artificial intelligence (AI)-powered traffic management capabilities, targeting support for more than 17,000 cameras by 2027 through the deployment of technology powered by US chipmaker Nvidia Corp.
ITMAX System Bhd, a Malaysian company, is scaling its AI-powered traffic management platform to support over 17,000 cameras by 2027. The platform, SamurAI V2, leverages Nvidia RTX PRO 6000 graphics processing units (GPUs) to enhance traffic monitoring, urban management, and operational efficiency. SamurAI V2 utilizes Nvidia's Cosmos and Nemotron models, along with Nvidia Metropolis Video Search and Summarization (VSS) reference architecture, to analyze video feeds and generate actionable insights.
The platform also integrates TeraSim, an open-source traffic simulation tool, enabling city planners to simulate traffic scenarios and optimize signal timing. This approach has the potential to reduce peak-hour travel times by up to 26%. Through long-term managed services, ITMAX delivers its infrastructure and AI applications to local authorities, allowing them to adopt advanced AI capabilities without building and maintaining the technology themselves.
This aligns with a growing trend of cities using AI to address complex urban challenges, including infrastructure planning, transportation management, public safety, and essential public services.
