Deputy Prime Minister Trần Hồng Hà has signed a decision approving the Project on “Building a Data Center for Traffic Management, Monitoring, Violation Processing, and Traffic Operations for the 2026–2030 period, with a vision to 2050. According to the Project, the data center will be developed into a national traffic governance system based on a unified two-tier model, ensuring nationwide connectivity and integration.
The Level 1 Center will serve as the core hub responsible for coordination, data aggregation, analysis, and inter-regional traffic operations support. This center will operate by inheriting, integrating, and upgrading existing systems, databases, and technological platforms. It will establish a shared data platform serving all relevant forces while connecting with national databases. Centralized data will include traffic monitoring, violation handling, vehicle registration and management, traffic accidents, journey monitoring devices, and other related operational systems.
The Level 2 Centers will be developed and upgraded at the local level to directly manage and operate traffic systems according to decentralization. These centers will ensure synchronization and seamless connectivity with the Level 1 Center and other Level 2 Centers. Investment will be tailored based on population size, vehicle density, traffic complexity, and actual local needs.
The Project will be implemented nationwide from 2026 to 2050, divided into three phases. The first phase (2026–2028) will focus on building the foundational infrastructure, establishing the system, and initiating operations. The second phase (2029–2030) will expand deployment and enhance data-driven traffic management capabilities. The total estimated investment for the 2026–2030 period is nearly VND 14.9 trillion, excluding operational, maintenance, and ongoing system management costs. The third phase (2031–2050) aims to complete a modern, nationwide digital traffic governance system. Funding for this phase will be determined based on the results of the earlier stages and actual needs.
By 2030, the Project aims to expand traffic surveillance camera systems across expressways, national highways, provincial roads, urban roads, and key transport routes, with gradual expansion to railways and inland waterways. At the same time, it will complete a data- and AI-driven traffic operations platform capable of detecting violations, performing analytics, forecasting, and real-time traffic coordination.
By 2050, the goal is to fully establish a modern, interconnected national traffic management system covering all road, rail, and inland waterway networks; upgrade technological capabilities of both Level 1 and Level 2 Centers to advanced, highly automated standards; and effectively apply big data and artificial intelligence in traffic operations.
