A Digital Leap for Road Safety in Kazakhstan: The TOR Network
In a significant stride towards enhancing road safety, the Kazakhstan government has implemented a digital platform named TOR (Network). This unified system is designed to monitor and manage road safety conditions across the country [1].
At its core, TOR functions as a digital window, providing law enforcement officers with a single platform to manage, analyse, and synchronise road conditions nationwide. This integration enables real-time tracking of road safety metrics, identification and management of accident hotspots, and better coordination of preventive and corrective measures [1].
The versatile digital environment of TOR is capable of integrating data from various sources, including stationary complexes in cities and on highways, mobile patrol complexes, drones, and other connected systems [1]. This comprehensive data collection and analysis empower authorities to make data-driven decisions, enhancing road infrastructure and traffic management.
TOR's architecture is ready for Big Data and Business Intelligence (BI) analytics technologies, making it a future-proof solution for Kazakhstan's road safety needs [1]. Evgeny Kim, CEO of Sergek, emphasised that TOR's architecture caters to Kazakh needs and easily adapts to the country's realities [1].
Moreover, TOR plays a proactive role in road safety by predicting risks and preventing incidents, ultimately saving lives [1]. The data collected by TOR is reported by the communications department of the Sergek Group [1].
TOR is also the first step towards creating the national "Safe City" platform, which will integrate all surveillance cameras and recognition systems [1]. This comprehensive approach to safety and security is aligned with modern trends in traffic safety management that utilise digital platforms to integrate various data sources and enable proactive safety interventions.
Sergeant Vargo emphasised that TOR is a modern tool for managing road safety across the entire country [1]. Furthermore, TOR is part of the President's directive to create the national "Safe City" platform [1]. The uniqueness of TOR lies in its unified integration standard, centralised event visualization, and scalability, from a single city to the entire republic [1].
In conclusion, the TOR platform, developed and implemented in Kazakhstan, is playing a pivotal role in road safety monitoring and improvements. As more detailed functionality, impact statistics, or integration details become available, it will provide a clearer picture of TOR's significant impact on road safety in Kazakhstan.
