**Partnership with MBPJ Tackles Congestion, Safety, and Urban Planning**
CelcomDigi Berhad (CelcomDigi), through its innovation centre, has announced a collaborative initiative with key government authorities—including MyDigital Corporation, Malaysia Digital Economy Corporation, Digital Nasional Berhad, and Majlis Bandaraya Petaling Jaya (MBPJ)—to develop Malaysia’s first AI-powered traffic intelligence platform. This cutting-edge solution leverages neural networks and advanced analytics to address pressing urban challenges.
In a statement, CelcomDigi highlighted that this initiative marks a significant milestone, positioning the company as the first telecommunications provider in Malaysia to deliver large-scale traffic intelligence solutions aligned with the nation’s digital economy blueprint and smart city ambitions.
By combining CelcomDigi’s advanced connectivity, 5G capabilities, and AI expertise with MBPJ’s urban management experience, the partnership aims to tackle issues such as traffic congestion, extended queue times at intersections, road safety, and infrastructure planning.
**Pilot Program in Damansara Constituency**
The AI-driven traffic intelligence platform will be piloted across multiple locations within the Damansara constituency in Petaling Jaya (PJ), including PJ Sentral, SS2, and areas along the Damansara-Puchong Expressway (LDP).
CelcomDigi will utilize real-time insights generated by its AI platforms, advanced connectivity, and data analytics expertise. Integrated with MBPJ’s existing systems and data, these insights will enable:
– **Smarter Traffic Light Management:** AI-powered predictions of traffic flow to minimize bottlenecks, dynamically optimizing light cycles to reduce queue times.
– **Urban Planning Insights:** Data-driven models to guide road design, infrastructure upgrades, and city expansion initiatives.
– **Dynamic Road Diversion Systems:** Real-time recommendations to ease congestion during peak hours, construction, or emergencies.
**Driving Malaysia’s Smart City Vision**
This collaboration underscores Malaysia’s commitment to advancing its digital economy blueprint and building intelligent infrastructure that enhances the quality of life for its citizens. The deployment of AI, 5G, and neural networks in traffic systems exemplifies the nation’s ambition to harness emerging technologies for a more sustainable and connected future.
The partnership was formalised at the Smart City Expo Kuala Lumpur 2025, themed *AI Cities: Shaping Our Digital Future*, officiated by Gobind Singh Deo, Minister of Digital. Minister Gobind stated:
> “This collaboration exemplifies the power of partnerships in driving Malaysia’s smart city agenda. By bringing together government, industry, and technology expertise, we are making cities more liveable, sustainable, and efficient.
