IOroad employs drive-by monitoring technology with advanced machine learning for cost-effective road surface management
KUALA LUMPUR, MALAYSIA 02 November 2025: West Coast Expressway Sdn Bhd (“WCE”) has taken a major step forward in embracing advanced infrastructure management with the deployment of IOroad, Asia Mobiliti’s pavement monitoring and management System on critical sections of the West Coast Expressway (E32), a 233-km interstate controlled-access highway running along the west coast of Peninsular Malaysia.
The IOroad system, a proprietary technology developed by Asia Mobiliti, Malaysia’s leading Mobility-as-a-Service and digital city solutions company, is a drive-by sensing system that leverages advanced IoT and machine learning to provide near real-time insights into road pavement conditions. With sensors installed on WCE service vehicles, the system captures high-precision vibration data and translates it into the International Roughness Index (IRI) value, a global standard for measuring road quality.
As with most expressways, maintenance work orders are conventionally triggered by visual inspections or customer complaints, a process that lacks real-time data and efficient monitoring. With the use of IOroad, WCE now has access to a digital twin of its road surface condition and predictive analytics for road maintenance that will in turn significantly enhance road safety, optimise maintenance operations, and improve the overall experience for motorists.
“We are thrilled to partner with West Coast Expressway to bring our innovative IOroad system to Malaysia’s vital transportation infrastructure,” said Ramachandran Muniandy, CEO & Co-founder of Asia Mobiliti. “This deployment marks a significant step forward in leveraging cutting-edge IoT and machine learning to maintain safer roads with smarter operations. Our proprietary technology, which was spawned from our railway track defects monitoring system, will enable WCE to transition from traditional reactive maintenance to a highly proactive and predictive approach, ultimately enhancing the travel experience for all users.”
Lyndon Alfred Felix, CEO of WCE, commented “We are proud to be the first expressway operator in Malaysia to adopt IOroad. This collaboration with Asia Mobiliti brings cutting-edge technology to our operations, strengthening our ability to manage road assets effectively while delivering better value and safety to our users. It also aligns with our commitment to continuous innovation and long-term sustainability.”
The deployment of IOroad on the West Coast Expressway represents a new benchmark for infrastructure management in Malaysia, demonstrating how technology and data can reshape the future of expressway operations across the region by enabling predictive, real-time and cost-effective monitoring systems.
