        Yuantuotai is not only responsible for the design, installation, and implementation of the entire toll collection system and traffic control center (TOC), but also deeply integrates AI and Internet of Things (IoT) technology to construct a data-driven intelligent maintenance and operation decision-making platform. In the future, it will have the flexibility to expand traffic management applications such as dynamic weighing scales. Faced with the challenge of complex vehicle models, license plate text, and colors in Thailand, the Far Eastern Electronic Toll Collection team uses advanced AI image recognition (ALPR) technology to accurately identify and combine multiple digital payment tools, allowing passersby to enjoy the seamless experience brought by M-Flow. According to statistics, after the full opening of M81, the single trip from Bangkok to Bukit Bintang has been significantly reduced from nearly 2 hours to 48 minutes, and the daily traffic volume on weekends has reached 55000 vehicles, significantly improving the tourism competitiveness and logistics operation efficiency of the western region of Thailand.
