National Police Traffic Corps Unveils Advanced KM 29 Command Centre with Real-Time Exodus Monitoring Technology
The Head of the National Police Traffic Corps (Kakorlantas), Inspector General Agus Suryonugroho, unveiled the Command Centre at KM 29 on the Cikampek Toll Road in West Java, which incorporates advanced integrated digital technology.
Observations at the site on Thursday, 12 March 2026, revealed a large display screen capable of showing CCTV feeds and the national exodus route map simultaneously, displaying multiple CCTV monitoring feeds in real time.
Inspector General Agus demonstrated live footage from Merak Port visible on the screen, which can be monitored in real time, displaying current conditions at various points within the port.
The Command Centre houses several officers monitoring field conditions. Subsequently, operational decisions such as traffic engineering will be made based on data obtained from the Command Centre to ensure decisions are precise and accurate.
Inspector General Agus noted that alongside Command Centre monitoring, precision patrol drones will also monitor the Lebaran exodus traffic flow. Field officers will be equipped with body cameras during patrols.
“In addition to monitoring at this location, we also have precision patrol drone technology,” stated Inspector General Agus.
Inspector General Agus explained that Operation Ketupat 2026 extends beyond merely securing traffic flow; it also ensures the state’s presence to protect the spiritual moment. With the advanced equipment in the Command Centre, the exodus is expected to become safer and smoother.
“This year’s Operation Ketupat is not merely a traffic operation. It is not only about securing the exodus and return journey. Rather, this year’s Operation Ketupat is about how we all, or the state, can be present to safeguard social and spiritual momentum,” he stated.
Also introduced was a song titled “Orderly Exodus, Don’t Rush” (Mudik Tertib, Ojo Kesusu) to convey the message through a humanitarian approach. Inspector General Agus explained that officers have been stationed at security posts following the Operation Ketupat 2026 roll call at Monas, which was led by National Police Chief General Listyo Sigit Prabowo.
“This afternoon, the Police Chief and the Military Commander held a troop deployment. This means that tonight all members throughout the Republic of Indonesia are taking positions at security posts, service posts, and integrated posts,” he added.
