Komjen Cryshnanda Soroti Risiko Kecelakaan di Kalteng: Lalu Lintas Buruk Bisa Memiskinkan Warga

PALANGKARAYA - The Chairman of the Center for Police Science Studies, Inspector General of Police Prof. Dr. Cryshnanda D.L., assessed that traffic management in Central Kalimantan must be immediately strengthened. He reminded, accidents not only cause casualties, but can also drag the victims' families into poverty.

This was conveyed by Cryshnanda when he was a resource person in the Working Meeting of the Central Kalimantan 2026 Regional Level Road Transport Traffic Forum, Wednesday, May 13.

According to Komjen Cryshnanda, the traffic problem in Central Kalimantan must be viewed from many aspects. Starting from the geographical conditions, the pattern of citizen mobility, community development, regional transportation, to the government's readiness to implement smart cities and smart mobility.

The three-star police general said smart mobility is important to improve safety, transportation efficiency, traffic surveillance, and digital-based public services.

"An example of one of the important discussions that are predictive in dealing with traffic problems is the development of smart cities and smart mobility," said Cryshnanda.

He said the implementation of a modern traffic system could be carried out through Electronic Traffic Law Enforcement or ETLE, CCTV, integrated command center, real-time traffic monitoring, accident big data, emergency service integration, digitalization of vehicle and SIM services, ODOL supervision based on technology, and utilization of AI and IoT in transportation.

According to Cryshnanda, this step needs to start now so that Central Kalimantan has a safe, orderly traffic service system, and is able to reduce accidents. The target is to achieve zero accidents and zero fatalities. He emphasized that poor traffic can have a direct impact on the economy of the people. Many accident victims come from the productive age group. If they die or become disabled, the family loses an economic support.

"If productive age residents who are potential development are lost and become victims of accidents, it will have an impact on the future," he said.

Therefore, traffic management must be understood as an effort to protect the community while working, carrying out activities, and meeting their needs.

"Traffic is the lifeblood. Therefore, it must be arranged to realize safe, comfortable, safe, and orderly traffic," said Cryshnanda.

The working meeting was also attended by the Governor of Central Kalimantan Agustiar Sabran, Central Kalimantan Police Chief Inspector General Pol Iwan Kurniawan, Central Kalimantan Police Chief Brigjen Pol Yosi Muhamartha, Central Kalimantan Provincial Secretary Linae Victoria Aden, and related officials.
