Deputy National Police Chief Monitors Mudik Traffic Flow at KM 29, Praises Korlantas Readiness
Deputy National Police Chief (Wakapolri) Komjen Dedi Prasetyo inspected the Lebaran 2026 mudik (homecoming) traffic flow at the operations control centre or Command Center of the National Police Traffic Corps (Korlantas) at KM 29 Cikarang, West Java. Komjen Dedi ensured directly that the situation was safe and conducive.
Based on monitoring by detikcom on Saturday (14/3/2026), Komjen Dedi arrived at the Command Center at KM 29 at approximately 10:30 WIB. He was observed reviewing the technologies employed by the National Police Traffic Corps (Korlantas) in securing the mudik traffic flow on this occasion.
These included equipment for monitoring accident incidents such as the Faro 3D Laser Scanner and Drone Traffic Accident Analysis (TAA) for recording accident events from the air comprehensively and in detail. Additionally, there was the Precision Patrol Drone, which functions to monitor traffic flow during the 2026 Ketupat Operation to be deployed on the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road. There was also a Mobile Command Centre actively monitoring traffic conditions.
After monitoring the available technology, Komjen Dedi proceeded directly to the Korlantas Command Center room. He monitored real-time traffic conditions across various locations directly through large screens. There, Komjen Dedi also heard a briefing from the Head of the 2026 Ketupat Operation Post, Kombes Bayu, regarding updates on the mudik traffic flow for Eid al-Fitr 2026. This was followed by interaction with field personnel through the K3I application and digital control centre.
“I can see that the readiness of Korlantas as implemented today is evident, how we monitor traffic flow dynamics,” said Komjen Dedi at the location. “It is also supported by the preparation of supporting equipment in order to incorporate studies for the speed of discretionary decision-making, and particularly traffic engineering management,” he continued.
According to him, sophisticated technology is very important in this centralised operation, particularly in supporting the best service to the public. “Next, I can see that what is important is personnel readiness. Indeed, no matter how advanced the network and systems that already exist, the people who operate them, the users, we must prepare them well, especially in the field,” Dedi noted as a reminder.
Moreover, he continued, the first wave of Lebaran 2026 mudik traffic is approaching its peak in the coming days. “I observed from the air earlier, and generally the traffic flow is relatively smooth, although there may be an increase in vehicle volume,” concluded Komjen Dedi.
After leaving the Command Center at KM 29, Komjen Dedi would continue his inspection to the rest area at KM 57 of the Jakarta-Cikampek toll road. During this inspection, Komjen Dedi was accompanied by Deputy Operations Officer of the National Police Chief Irjen Laksana, Head of Sabhara Baharkam National Police Irjen Hasudungan Ritonga, Senior Police Educator at the National Police Training and Education Centre Irjen Umar Effendi, Director of Legal Affairs Korlantas National Police Brigjen Faizal, Head of Public Information Division Divhumas National Police Brigjen Tjahyono Saputro, and Director of Traffic Motorised Vehicle Baharkam National Police Brigjen Suhendri.
