Applying vehicle tracking devices and technology is an effective solution to ensure traffic safety and order, ease congestion and reduce environmental pollution, affirmed Deputy Head of the National Traffic Safety Committee Khuat Viet Hung at a conference held in Hanoi on March 18.

Hung added the committee has coordinated with the Vietnam Military Telecommunications Group (Viettel) in studying GPS-based vehicle tracking technologies.

Viettel has also worked with the Vietnam Transport Development and Strategy Institute and German partners in using data analysis techniques from vehicle tracking devices to successfully design an online traffic monitoring solution and improve urban planning.

At the event, experiences in monitoring and managing transport were shared with the intent to explore methods to reduce traffic congestion and environmental pollution.-VNA
