        "summary": "The Directorate General of Land Transportation under the Ministry of Transportation is implementing a comprehensive digital transformation to enhance monitoring of over-dimension and overweight (ODOL) vehicles, utilising technologies such as ETLE cameras and Weigh in Motion bridges for faster detection and enforcement. This approach aims to hold not only drivers but also cargo owners and transport operators accountable for violations, while minimising opportunities for illegal levies through reduced field interactions. The initiative supports the goal of achieving zero ODOL by 2027, emphasising road safety and the elimination of tolerance for such practices.",
        "content": "<p>JAKARTA - To strengthen the strategy for handling over-dimension and\noverweight (ODOL) vehicles, the Directorate General of Land\nTransportation at the Ministry of Transportation will conduct oversight\nthrough a digital scheme.<\/p>\n<p>Director General of Land Transportation Aan Suhanan stated that a\ncomprehensive digital transformation is crucial for logistics transport\noversight. The aim is to detect ODOL violations more quickly and\neffectively.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cCurrently, oversight is still partial and conventional. Our\npersonnel are limited and must monitor numerous ODOL vehicles. This\nmeans we need technology- and data-based digital oversight because\nmanual methods are no longer sufficient,\u201d said Aan in his official\nstatement in Jakarta on Monday (13\/4\/2026).<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe will maximise the utilisation of data available in the ministry\nand other institutions,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>The transformation is carried out by utilising technologies such as\nETLE cameras and Weigh in Motion (WIM) bridges to facilitate the\noversight process up to law enforcement against over-dimension and\noverweight vehicles.<\/p>\n<p>According to Aan, the oversight transformation also aims to ensure\nthat responsibility for violations is not solely borne by ODOL vehicle\ndrivers.<\/p>\n<p>With technology-based oversight, cargo owners or transport operators\ncan also be held accountable for over-dimension and overweight\nviolations.<\/p>\n<p>Not only that, the digital-based oversight system is also claimed to\nprevent illegal levies (pungli) by reducing interactions between\nofficers and drivers in the field.<\/p>\n<p>According to him, the Ministry of Transportation is not turning a\nblind eye to ongoing pungli practices and is taking a firm stance\nagainst such violations.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSome have already been demoted and are no longer assigned to\nweighbridges. We see this as a challenge to continue monitoring\npersonnel to prevent pungli. With digital systems like CCTV or ETLE, the\nroom for negotiation between drivers and officers can be reduced,\nthereby minimising pungli practices,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>This is done so that all parties understand the policies to be\nimplemented and can adapt to digital-based oversight and law\nenforcement, thus achieving the Zero ODOL 2027 target.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI am optimistic that Zero ODOL can be achieved in 2027. Let us end\ntolerance for ODOL vehicles and traffic accidents, because nothing is\nmore important than human safety. One life is too many,\u201d said Aan.<\/p>",
