KUALA LUMPUR: Malaysia will host the MyAsean Roads and Traffic Tech Expo (My-ARTTE) 2025 and the Malaysian Road Maintenance Convention (MRMC), two key events in the road infrastructure and traffic technology sectors.
Works Minister Datuk Seri Alexander Nanta Linggi said My-ARTTE will take place over three days, from Nov 3 to 5, while MRMC will be held on Nov 3 at the Malaysia International Trade and Exhibition Centre (Mitec) in Kuala Lumpur.
The MRMC will bring together policymakers, engineers, contractors, and road owners to deliberate on the future of road infrastructure, safety and maintenance in Malaysia.
According to Nanta, the event will serve as a platform for sharing best practices and strengthening collaboration between the government, the private sector and the public, reported Bernama.
“It will also highlight Malaysia’s roadmap for building world-class road infrastructure, as outlined in the Highway Network Development Plan,” he said in a speech read out by Works Ministry secretary-general Datuk Seri Azman Ibrahim at the launch event for MRMC and My-ARTTE 2025 at Mitec yesterday.
Nanta further said My-ARTTE 2025 will showcase cutting-edge technologies, including smart traffic management systems, drones, robotics, artificial intelligence, and the Internet of Things, thereby positioning Malaysia as a regional leader in road and traffic technology.
He said the integration of these technologies will allow Malaysia to predict road damage earlier, optimise traffic flow, reduce congestion and minimise carbon emissions, in line with the nation’s ambition to become a leading technology hub in Asia.
