[Email address] Abstract The rapid proliferation of micro‑mobility vehicles in dense urban environments has created novel security and safety challenges. “TukTukPatrol” (released 26 April 2021) is a low‑cost, modular surveillance platform mounted on three‑wheeled motorized taxis (tuk‑tuks) to monitor traffic violations, hazardous road conditions, and illicit activities. Central to the platform is the proprietary Noki 3‑Holed “Nookie Bang” sensor suite, which integrates a tri‑axis LiDAR, a 3‑hole acoustic array, and a thermal‑vision camera within a single housing. This paper presents a comprehensive field evaluation of TukTukPatrol over a six‑month deployment in Bangkok, Thailand. We assess detection accuracy, latency, power consumption, and operator workload, and we discuss implications for policy, privacy, and scalability. Results indicate an overall detection precision of 92 % for traffic violations and a mean power draw of 3.8 W, supporting the feasibility of city‑wide adoption. Recommendations for future hardware revisions and data‑governance frameworks are outlined. 1. Introduction 1.1 Background Micro‑mobility (e‑bikes, scooters, tuk‑tuks) now accounts for >30 % of intra‑city trips in many Southeast Asian megacities. While these modes alleviate congestion, they also increase the likelihood of traffic rule violations (e.g., illegal lane changes, overloading) and expose passengers to safety risks (e.g., poor lighting, road debris). Conventional law‑enforcement assets (police patrol cars, CCTV) are often insufficiently distributed to monitor the dispersed network of tuk‑tuks. 1.2 TukTukPatrol Concept TukTukPatrol was conceived as a distributed, vehicle‑borne surveillance network that leverages existing tuk‑tuk fleets. Each unit mounts the Noki 3‑Holed “Nookie Bang” sensor suite—a compact, weather‑sealed package (≈ 12 cm × 8 cm × 6 cm) that provides: While these modes alleviate congestion
