At 2:00 pm on 10 November, Ho Chi Minh City Urban Traffic Management Center staff were checking the weighing results of vehicle load testing stations to deal with administrative violations. As per observations, the operations are performed in a quite scientific manner, thereby saving time and human effort.
Dozens of staff are monitoring the cameras and closely monitoring the information transmitted from different locations, only one “special” staff member needs to directly monitor and check the images and information data from the weighing stations. Dispatched to centers throughout Ho Chi Minh City.

Mr Tan believes that correct and adequate fines for overloaded vehicles are very effective. There is no need for the presence of forces at weighing centers for manual processing, which takes time, effort and is dangerous.
“Drivers and car owners…cannot avoid or obey as before. Especially in the long term, Ho Chi Minh City aims to manage traffic and violating vehicles with 100% technology” – Mr Tan said.
According to Mr. Pham Ngoc Dung, Chief Inspector of the Ho Chi Minh City Transportation Department, it has recently become extremely difficult to mobilize personnel to ensure safety and order, investigate and handle overload violations. Therefore, the department has proposed to the City People’s Committee and the Ministry of Transportation that the city be allowed to impose pilot fines for overloaded vehicles.
The monitoring process runs round the clock without manning the station, and strict penalties are imposed in case of violations. From there, resistance increases, violations decrease, and driver and vehicle owner awareness also increases.
Change registration in case of non-compliance fine

Transport Department inspectors receive results and sanction administrative violations. If the resolution deadline has passed and the infringer has not complied, the entities will send a notice to the registry agency.
When there are feedback and recommendations during the approval process, the inspector and the Ho Chi Minh City Urban Traffic Management Center receive and address them.
