Toll Road Association Integrates Camera System to Detect Overloaded Trucks
Bekasi — Efforts to regulate overloaded or Over Dimension Over Loading (ODOL) trucks on toll roads are being strengthened through the use of camera-based monitoring technology and artificial intelligence.
Toll Road Business Entities (BUJT) organised under the Indonesian Toll Road Association are now beginning to integrate surveillance camera systems from various toll road sections to enhance traffic monitoring, including oversight of ODOL trucks.
The Secretary General of the Indonesian Toll Road Association, Kris Ade Sudiyono, stated that toll road sections in Indonesia are not managed by a single operator alone. In addition to PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk, there are several other BUJTs operating various toll road sections.
Despite different operators, the traffic surveillance systems on several toll road sections are now becoming connected in a single monitoring system. “The sections are not owned only by Jasa Marga. There are several other toll road business entities outside of Jasa Marga,” said Kris Ade to Kompas.com.
“However, for traffic event monitoring purposes during Lebaran, all surveillance systems in non-Jasa Marga sections are also integrated here,” he said. “For example, the Cikopo–Palimanan toll road, which is owned by Astra Infra. Then the Palikanci–Pejagan and Pejagan–Pemalang sections owned by Waskita Toll Road. Their cameras are also integrated here (with Jasa Marga),” he explained.
According to Kris, the integration of the surveillance system is currently still focused on supporting traffic monitoring during major events such as Lebaran holiday travel periods. One of the functions being developed is monitoring of ODOL vehicles. The government itself is targeting the implementation of a Zero ODOL policy, or the elimination of vehicles with excessive dimensions and loads, to take effect in early 2027.
To support this policy, PT Jasa Marga (Persero) Tbk has developed a monitoring system for ODOL trucks through surveillance cameras at the toll road command centre. “This is not just a CCTV camera that can see, but the artificial intelligence is already running so it can be used for enforcement against ODOL trucks,” said Rivan.
The technology is also equipped with a radar system capable of reading vehicle information in greater detail. Data displayed on the monitoring screen includes vehicle dimensions, load weight, and vehicle registration numbers.
