        "summary": "Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure Agus Harimurti Yudhoyono (AHY) reported that despite a surge in vehicles, the Eid al-Fitr homecoming traffic on toll roads has proceeded smoothly without extreme congestion, as observed from the Jasamarga Tollroad Command Center in Bekasi. He praised the centre's adoption of advanced technologies like machine learning and artificial intelligence for real-time monitoring and decision-making to prevent bottlenecks. AHY highlighted ongoing government efforts, including traffic simulations, work-from-anywhere policies, and toll discounts, to better manage the annual migration peaks and improve outcomes year on year.",
        "content": "<p>Although there is a surge (in the number of vehicles), overall it is\nrunning smoothly. So, it\u2019s busy but smooth, with no extremely extreme\ndensity or congestion,\u201d he said while monitoring the homecoming traffic\nfrom the Jasamarga Tollroad Command Center (JMTC) office in Jatiasih,\nBekasi, West Java, on Thursday.<\/p>\n<p>Even though there is no extreme congestion, he reminded that\nsimulations and traffic engineering should be prepared to avoid\ndensity.<\/p>\n<p>On that occasion, the Coordinating Minister for Infrastructure and\nPublic Housing appreciated the increasingly modern JMTC for applying\nvarious cutting-edge technologies such as machine learning and\nartificial intelligence, which greatly assist in making quick and\naccurate decisions regarding developing situations on the ground.<\/p>\n<p>From identifying the number of vehicles at any time in real-time,\ndistinguishing between vehicles such as trucks or buses, thus enabling\npredictions, calculating congestion points, and anticipating bottlenecks\non several road sections.<\/p>\n<p>Technically, he continued, everything obtained on the road will serve\nas material to perfect the system, including decision-making in the\nfuture.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cRemember, this is an annual phenomenon that we must prepare for.\nClearly, the government is also continuously striving to improve because\nthere are certainly challenges here and there, but we have the spirit to\ncontinue providing solutions,\u201d AHY stated.<\/p>\n<p>For example, the government has issued a work-from-anywhere policy as\nwell as providing discounts or reductions in toll road tariffs to ease\nand distribute the peaks of homecoming traffic from Jabodetabek, West\nJava, Central Java, East Java, including Yogyakarta.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is where the efforts being made continue to be refined.\nHopefully, this year the results are generally better overall and next\nyear it can be improved again,\u201d he said.<\/p>",
