Dong Nai promotes data connection in smart traffic system

Dong Nai province is prioritizing stronger solutions for data connectivity and improving the effectiveness of the Intelligent Operations Center, including activities to promote digital transformation and data connection in the transportation sector.

Improving the efficiency of the traffic camera system

Currently, the Department of Science and Technology of Dong Nai province has completed the relocation and installation of the provincial Intelligent Operations Center (IOC) system. The provincial IOC center is located at the Dong Nai Provincial Public Administration Service Center (Tran Bien Ward). The Department of Science and Technology has proposed that relevant telecommunications enterprises continue to coordinate with the Provincial Police to supplement some existing camera streams throughout Dong Nai province. At the same time, it will continue to review and coordinate with the public administration service centers of communes and wards, as well as the Provincial Public Administration Service Center, to collect camera streams and integrate them into the IOC system.

Nguyen Minh Quang, Deputy Director of the Department of Science and Technology of Dong Nai province, shared: To improve operational efficiency, in the coming time, the provincial IOC Center will continue to update appropriate and valuable features, including integrating more existing camera streams throughout the province into the security and traffic camera system.

In December 2025, the Dong Nai Provincial People's Committee issued Plan No. 192/KH-UBND on the implementation of Internet of Things (IoT) technology applications in some industries and fields until 2030, with a vision for the province until 2045.

In particular, regarding traffic monitoring and operations infrastructure, the target by 2030 is to ensure that 100% of national highways, key provincial roads, provincial entry and exit gateways, tourist areas, and international border gates are equipped with surveillance camera systems and IoT sensors and are connected to the Traffic Operation Center. At least 70% of major intersections in urban areas are to be equipped with bright traffic lights capable of adjusting signal cycles based on actual traffic volumes.

Regarding digital transformation and shared data, by 2030, the province aims to complete a provincewide digitized traffic database with synchronized updates for infrastructure, vehicles, and transport services, and to connect and share traffic data with related sectors, including police, tourism, construction, environment, and health.

Integrating many digital utilities for people

Recently, localities across the province have stepped up communication and rollout of the Vietnam Smart Traffic (VNeTraffic) application. Developed by the Ministry of Public Security, the app helps citizens communicate with traffic police. It also contributes to advancing digital transformation in traffic order and safety management, toward a transparent and convenient environment for residents.

Huynh Ngoc Quy, Party Cell Secretary, Head of the neighborhood, and Head of the Community Digital Technology Group of Cap Rang Quarter (in Binh Loc Ward), said that in recent times, the local community digital technology group has proactively coordinated and carried out many programs and activities to support residents and raise awareness about digital transformation. In particular, the neighborhood group has worked with relevant units to help residents install the VNeTraffic application and assist in collecting, cleaning, and digitizing motorcycle registration records in the locality. This endeavor has helped residents promptly update digital data and use essential digital utilities and services.

According to Plan No. 192/KH-UBND of the Dong Nai Provincial People’s Committee, regarding applications for residents and businesses, the province will prioritize developing and implementing the Dong Nai smart traffic mobile application, providing digital maps, real-time traffic conditions, parking information, public transport information, and route recommendations. The target by 2030 is for at least 60% of residents in urban areas to regularly use lookup services and interact with the smart traffic system, and to integrate cashless payment at 100% in public parking lots, connected to the mobile application to forecast real-time parking availability.

The development of digital technologies, artificial intelligence (AI), and IoT will help large cities effectively manage traffic, energy, and resources while improving residents' quality of life.

Plan No. 192/KH-UBND of the Dong Nai Provincial People’s Committee will implement multiple solutions using IoT technology across different sectors. For smart transportation, one of the solutions being pursued is to connect all data from IoT systems, cameras, sensors, and vehicle journey monitoring to a single management focal point, and integrate with the Intelligent Operations Center (IOC) to share data and analyze "accident blackspots" by time, weather, and vehicle type, serving direction, and operational work. It also calls for establishing a Big Data analysis system and applying artificial intelligence to forecast and issue traffic warnings. At the same time, the plan includes developing smart transportation mobile applications, such as digital maps, real-time traffic information, route guidance, parking, public transport, and other services.
