Batam \u2014 Indonesia\u2019s Traffic Police Corps (Korlantas) is implementing\na comprehensive traffic management scheme for toll roads during the 2026\nEid mudik exodus, supported by digital technology to ensure smooth\ntravel for the public.<\/p>\n
The Head of Korlantas, Inspector General Agus Suryonugroho, stated in\na briefing received in Jakarta on Sunday that the police force is\nprepared to manage traffic flow on toll roads during peak mudik and\nreturn periods.<\/p>\n
\u201cKorlantas uses digital technology when implementing traffic\nengineering management, including lane transfers, monitoring,\ncontraflow, national one-way systems, and so forth,\u201d said Agus.<\/p>\n
The two-star police general explained that contraflow application\nduring mudik and return periods is based on specific parameters to\nensure the policy is well-targeted and effectively facilitates vehicle\nflow.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe contraflow traffic engineering has parameters guiding our\nimplementation, so we can smoothly facilitate the journey of\nholidaymakers, including the mudik exodus,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
According to him, one key parameter is the number of vehicles per\nhour monitored through radar and traffic counting systems.<\/p>\n
This parameter, he continued, is observable from radar readings: if\ntraffic consistently reaches 4,500 to 5,000 vehicles per hour,\ncontraflow on one lane is activated.<\/p>\n
\u201cSimilarly, once the figure reaches 6,400 vehicles, we will implement\ncontraflow on two lanes,\u201d he explained.<\/p>\n
Additionally, national one-way and partial one-way policies will be\nimplemented based on real-time traffic monitoring data updates.<\/p>\n
\u201cWe will implement national one-way or partial one-way in national\none-way zones. Obviously, the latest updates from traffic monitoring\ntechnology, whether through precision drones or radar at Jasa Marga,\nwill guide these decisions,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n
Meanwhile, the police have also prepared a contingency plan: should\ntraffic counting show extremely high volumes and two-lane contraflow is\nalready in place, the national one-way option will be activated.<\/p>\n
He emphasised that if traffic counting reaches sufficiently high\nlevels, including two-lane contraflow, the national one-way system will\nbe implemented.<\/p>\n
\u201cThis is how Korlantas operates, utilising technology and updated\ntraffic counting, with all traffic metrics calculated through\ntechnological means,\u201d he noted.<\/p>\n
Agus stressed that Korlantas does not merely issue advisories but\noperates based on data-driven and real-time technology systems to\nguarantee smooth and safe conditions for the public during the mudik\nperiod.<\/p>\n
\u201cKorlantas does not simply advise, but rather works through systems\nwe have built based on real-time data and technology to ensure smooth\nmudik and return journeys,\u201d he stated.<\/p>\n
\u201cThe state is present to ensure safety in terms of crime prevention\nand smooth traffic flow,\u201d added Agus.<\/p>", "url": "https:\/\/jawawa.id\/newsitem\/traffic-police-deploy-digital-technology-in-mudik-traffic-management-1772373347", "image": "" }, "sponsor": "Okusi Associates", "sponsor_url": "https:\/\/okusiassociates.com" }
