JAKARTA - The process of making a driving license (SIM) complained of many obstacles. The reason is that the outdated manual system makes the applicant waste a lot of time to get this license.
This problem led the Traffic Directorate of Polda Metro Jaya to create a computer-based practical test system or electronic driving test system (e-Drivers). That way, the SIM creation process can be faster.
Dirlantas Polda Metro Jaya Kombes Yusuf said this system allows applicants to carry out SIM A and C practical tests automatically and simultaneously. This is what is claimed to make the SIM creation time faster. Plus, this system makes the assessment process more transparent and accountable.
"With this system, it is hoped that SIM applicants will receive fast, precise, professional, modern and reliable service," said Yasuf in his statement, Sunday, December 1.
The application of the e-Drivers system was preceded by participants following counseling on how to work and the assessment process. Then, proceed with a practical test.
For SIM C applicants, the system will record the results of practical tests, starting from the braking or balance test, the zig zag test, the number eight test, the evasive brake reaction test, and the reverse test to form the letter U or U turn.
Meanwhile, in the SIM A practical test, the system will record the test results forward and backward on a narrow lane, zig zag back and forth, series and parallel parking and stops on inclines and descents.
"SIM A and C have different classifications and assessors," said Yusuf.
After the practical test, the test results can be seen by the integrated field examiner through a tablet and monitor screen to be appointed to the applicant. Furthermore, the data on the final exam results are processed into statistical data to be used as a report and determine whether or not the application for a driving license is passed.
"With e-Drivers, the system's assessment becomes more accurate and transparent and provides more legal certainty," said Yusuf.
Yusuf claims that this system is different from the simulators that existed several years ago. e-Drivers said he has four new technologies.
First, radio frequency identification (RFID) placed on two-wheeled vehicles is a wireless identification system that allows data retrieval without having to touch. So, when the participant passes the RFID radar, the participant's data will automatically appear on the SIM practice exam application in the monitoring room.
Then, Passive Infrared technology or infrared light at the start line (start) at the finish line (finish). The technology functions to know when participants start and finish at each stage.
The third is the Vibration Sensor. The technology is used to determine a vibration in an object. This sensor is placed in a stake attached to the side of the track, if a motorized vehicle bumps or hits the stake, the vibration sensor will activate and send a signal to the SIM practice test application on the server computer in the monitoring room so that the examiner can find out the position and number of stakes that were hit or hit. .
Finally, Ultrasonic technology, which functions to emit sound waves with a high frequency of 20 Kilo Hertz, this sensor is placed in the incline and derivative stages of the SIM A practice test.
In addition, if there is a backward or forward reaction before continuing the upward or downward practical test, the ultrasonic sensor and sensor will send a signal to the server computer in the monitoring room. Then, the examiner can issue a warning, cue or command over the speaker.
Regarding this system, University of Indonesia Public Policy Observer Agus Pambagio said, there is nothing new about e-Drivers. Because in several developed countries, this system has been implemented several years ago.
He hopes this system can be implemented immediately. The aim is to make it easier for applicants and to eliminate the existence of brokers.
"In Indonesia it is late in implementing this system. It should have been implemented long ago," said Agus.
