How ETLE Drones Monitor Traffic Conditions

JAKARTA – The Indonesian National Police Traffic Corps (Korlantas) is aggressively implementing digital transformation to enhance road service and surveillance. Key initiatives include the introduction of Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement (ETLE) Drones and ETLE Face Recognition technology.

This move is a concrete response to recommendations from the Police Accelerated Reform Commission (KPRP), specifically regarding strengthening governance, public service transparency, oversight, digitalisation, and preventing misconduct in police services.

Senior Commissioner Dwi Sumrahadi Rakhmanto, Head of the Dakgar Subdirectorate at Korlantas, stated that the ETLE Drone encompasses standard ETLE capabilities.

“Features include Automatic Number Plate Recognition (ANPR), which detects and identifies vehicle licence plates. The AI then processes this data,” he said.

Technically, the ETLE Drone operates through an integrated process involving several stages.

Notably, the technology is not only aimed at traffic offenders but also monitors traffic flow.

Dwi added that the ETLE Drone can count the number of vehicles passing, enabling traffic volume measurement on specific road sections.

“Thus, the ETLE Drone is highly mobile and can be deployed anywhere as long as the battery is charged. It can record data even without signal coverage,” he said.

The Traffic Corps has also developed ETLE Face Recognition, integrated with Dukcapil population data and used across various regions in Indonesia.

The facial recognition technology is a smart solution that functions optimally when:
