Analysis & evaluation
AI technology supports effective monitoring: AI camera systems show the ability to detect violations quickly and continuously, far surpassing manual monitoring when there are many vehicles. However, post-processing to convert violations into specific penalties requires a stable process to avoid errors.
Weather challenges for drainage infrastructure: Heavy rain combined with storms put high pressure on the urban drainage system. Frequently flooded areas such as low intersections and low-lying roads are easily affected, causing traffic to slow down.
Accidents in adverse conditions: The series of collisions on Ton Duc Thang Street took place in conditions where the road surface can be slippery after rain — a reminder to reduce speed and keep distance when traveling in bad weather.
Timely advice: It is necessary to advise people to limit going out during storms to reduce risks for people, especially the number of people moving when it rains heavily and is prone to accidents.
Conclusion & recommendations
Hanoi on September 25, 2025, experienced a traffic situation that was heavily affected by storms and new monitoring pressure. AI cameras recorded thousands of violations in just the first few hours, showing the strong potential of technology in urban traffic management. However, for technology to truly take effect, management processes, handling of violations and legal transparency need to be completed in parallel.
Recommendations for people & traffic participants:
Avoid going out during heavy rain, especially during the time the storm hits; if you have to go, try to choose a route that is higher or has been cleared for drainage.
When riding a motorbike or car, reduce speed, keep a safe distance, and turn on headlights to increase visibility in the rain.
People should cooperate with the AI camera system: accept strict monitoring when participating in traffic to improve the severity of the law.
Management agencies need to strengthen post-violation inspection, publicize the results of penalties, and ensure transparency so that people can trust AI camera technology.
