JAKARTA \u2013 Ahead of the Lebaran holiday exodus and return traffic,\nIndonesia\u2019s National Police Traffic Corps (Korlantas Polri) is preparing\na technology-based strategy to ensure smooth travel on toll roads.<\/p>\n
Radar and traffic counting systems will form the foundation for\ndeciding when to implement contraflow and national one-way measures.<\/p>\n
For context, traffic counting is a traffic engineering survey that\ncalculates the volume and type of vehicles passing a specific point or\nroad section within a given time period.<\/p>\n
Korlantas Polri Chief Inspector General Agus Suryonugroho stated that\nthe force is prepared to manage vehicle flow using a digital and\ncollaborative approach working with stakeholders.<\/p>\n
\u201cRegarding toll road management during peak traffic periods, whether\nit is the exodus or return journey, Korlantas Polri and stakeholders\nwill always collaborate,\u201d Agus said in a written statement (28 February\n2026).<\/p>\n
\u201cKorlantas Polri uses digital technology when implementing traffic\nmanagement engineering, whether flow diversion, patrol operations,\ncontraflow, national one-way measures, and so forth,\u201d Agus added.<\/p>\n
Contraflow implementation is not done arbitrarily. Strict parameters\nmonitored in real-time ensure the policy effectively reduces\ncongestion.<\/p>\n
One key indicator is the number of vehicles per hour monitored\nthrough radar and traffic counting systems.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will look at the radar parameters \u2013 when vehicle volume reaches\n4,500 to 5,000 continuously in one hour, we will implement contraflow on\nlane 1. Similarly, when it reaches 6,400, we will implement contraflow\non lane 2,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
The decision is based on the latest data updates from various\nmonitoring devices, including precision drones and radar operated by\nJasa Marga, Indonesia\u2019s toll road operator.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will implement national one-way or partial one-way measures in\none-way zones based on the latest updates from traffic flow monitoring\ntechnology, including precision drones and radar operated by Jasa\nMarga,\u201d Agus said.<\/p>\n
He added that the approach is not merely advisory but based on\nreal-time data and technology systems to guarantee safety and smooth\ntraffic during the Lebaran period.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/traffic-management-during-lebaran-exodus-to-rely-on-radar-and-traffic-counting-systems-1772329966", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
