AIS, HIP Global Co., Ltd., a producer and distributor of international-standard security solutions, and Metropolitan Police Division 1 have jointly developed the “NB-IoT Motor Tracker”, an innovative solution that connects the GPS tracking system through the AIS NB-IoT (Narrow-band IoT) network.
Tracker devices have been fitted to 360 police motorbikes which notify the coordinates of the operating routes of the traffic and patrol polices in near real-time via the NB-IoT network.
When emergencies occur, a Command Center can ask the nearest police officers to provide care to those who need help with a shorter time. The new solutions improve the efficiency of police operations in effectively safeguarding lives and property.
The NB-IoT Motor Tracker service is now available at the 9 police stations under the supervision of the Metropolitan Police Division 1, namely Chana Songkhram, Phayathai, Din Daeng, Dusit, Nanglerng, Bang Pho, Makkasan, Huai Kwang, and Samsen. This is a crucial step forward in using digital innovations to drive operations for the optimum benefit of the Thai people and is in line with the Thailand 4.0 policy.
Ms. Asnee Wipatawate, AIS Head of Enterprise Product & International Service, said IoT technology is particularly a key to developing the Smart City.
NB-IoT Motor Tracker system will deliver GPS coordinates of the patrol police or traffic operations via our NB-IoT network, and compute on the application hosted on AIS Cloud. It will display the locations of the motorcycles on a dashboard at 9 police stations in Bangkok. A strong point of the NB-IoT is that it can send updated motorcycle coordinates in near real time enabling the Command Center to see the actual locations of the police motorbikes in each area. The center can then contact the patrol or traffic police who are the nearest to the incident to speed to the scene and provide timely assistance to those in trouble.
Pol Maj Gen. Zenith Samransamruadkit, Commander of Metropolitan Police Division 1, said the solutions will make it easier for the command center to communicate with police motorcyclists nearest to the incident. Thanks to improved efficiency, the police can reach the scene promptly, bringing relief to those in need. This development is in line with the public sector’s policy for Thailand 4.0.
