According to Hanoi City Police, data cleaning is being implemented synchronously at the commune level, with coordination between the City Police and the Public Administration Service Center. All vehicle registration and driving license data will be reviewed, standardized, and updated through the iHanoi platform, instead of manual operations as before.
Hanoi currently has about 3.8 million vehicles matching national population data and 3.87 million cases that have not matched. When this data is "cleaned", each vehicle will be attached to a specific subject, avoiding the situation of "virtual vehicles", "virtual owners" which makes it difficult to handle violations or track down vehicles causing accidents.
One of the most obvious impacts of the campaign is increased transparency in fines. In fact, many cases of traffic violations are recorded through cameras but cannot be sent for notification or handling due to incorrect registration data. Some vehicles have been sold to others, some vehicles have been registered with the old owner's name for decades, or the address information does not exist.
When the data is standardized, the authorities can easily identify the actual owner of the vehicle, send accurate notices and shorten processing time. People can also check, compare and update their information through VNeID, VNeTraffic or the Ministry of Public Security's Public Service Portal - helping to minimize the situation of " misspent and missed fines".
When the database is clean, AI will have a real "land". A modern traffic camera system can connect to vehicle data, license plate identification, vehicle owner identification, travel routes and even detect unusual behavior - all in real time.
These models have been applied in many countries such as Singapore, Korea or Japan, where accurate vehicle data is a prerequisite for AI to learn and make accurate warnings. For Hanoi, data cleaning is not only for today but also paves the way for future smart traffic management applications: Traffic congestion forecasting, automatic traffic flow, vehicle emission monitoring and early accident warnings.
It is noteworthy that this campaign is not just the work of the police force. People are encouraged to proactively check, declare and update information about their vehicles on digital platforms. This is also a way to form the habit of self-managing personal data, one of the important factors of e-government and digital society.
The 60-day campaign to clean up vehicle data in Hanoi is the first step in a long roadmap in standardizing national data on vehicles and driving licenses. At that time, fines, tracing the vehicle causing the accident, or even identifying the vehicle in civil transactions will become easier and more accurate.
And further, when artificial intelligence is "sold out" by clean data, Hanoi can move closer to the goal of building a smart - safe - transparent transport city.
