Written Reply to Parliamentary Question on Plans to Introduce In-Vehicle Monitoring Systems for Senior Drivers and Improve Road Safety for All

02 Jul 2024In Parliament

Ms Joan Pereira asked the Minister for Transport whether there are plans to introduce in-vehicle monitoring systems to assist and accommodate senior drivers and improve road safety for the drivers, road users and pedestrians.

Reply by Minister for Transport Chee Hong Tat:

1. Currently, there are no plans to mandate installation of In-Vehicle Monitoring Systems (IVMS). IVMS is typically used by companies to manage their vehicle fleets for business operations purposes, such as monitoring vehicle speed, location and driving patterns. Nonetheless, senior drivers may install such IVMS products if they find it useful.
