"Well, coincidentally PT Teknologi Karya Digital Nusa (TKDN) has a tool that can detect fatigue from the driver, whether due to sleepiness or getting off track. All forms of violations include if the driver smokes it will be detected from the advanced technology tool, we have just tested this tool," said Pande Putu when confirmed, Thursday, July 6.

Putu added that later this tool will be installed in bus units, in the hope that it can detect the initial negligence of the driver.

"Later on, we can convey it to the person concerned (the driver) through an early warning from the office," he said.

"So we can convey directly, there is two-way communication with our driver, through tools such as being able to warn the driver directly so as not to sleepy," he added.

After the trial, Putu continued, if it is true, what is offered is accurate, then all fleets in Transjakarta will be equipped with the detection tool.

"In that tool there is a complete CCTV camera, a two-way communication relationship can be done," he said.

Meanwhile, the President Director of PT TKDN, David Santoso, assessed that the use of the device was very appropriate to be embedded in fleet management.
