SINGAPORE — By the end of this month, the Land Transport Authority (LTA) will be deploying mobile closed-circuit television (CCTV) camera systems across public paths and roads in a bid to deter errant personal mobility device (PMD) riders.
The deployment is part of an 18-month trial rollout in partnership with the Government Technology Agency , said the LTA in a press release on Friday .The trial will help determine the effectiveness of the video analytics software and radar technology in these systems in detecting active mobility offences such as speeding, the LTA said.
“The new ‘Report PMD/PAB Incident’ feature is a crowdsourcing channel that aims to facilitate the identification of errant riders and potential hot spots and will supplement the LTA’s current enforcement efforts on the ground,” said the authority. Apart from the new feature, the public can continue to use existing online and hotline channels to submit feedback to the LTA.
As of the compulsory e-scooter registration deadline on 30 June, more than 85,000 e-scooters have been registered with the authority. During a parliamentary session in May, several members of parliament had called for PMDs to be banned from public footpaths and void deck spaces, given the recent spate of PMD accidents involving pedestrians.
