JAKARTA - The Korlantas Polri plans to change the color of the Motorized Vehicle Numbers (TNKB) owned by individuals and legal entities, or companies. In the future, the TNKB, which used to have a black base with white writing, will change to the other way around.
Telematics expert Roy Suryo assessed that changing the color of the Motor Vehicle Number Sign (TNKB) or vehicle number plate to a white background from black, can make light capture clearer when applied to the ETLE camera.
"From a technical point of view, the change in the base color of the TNKB in white with black writing makes it clearer the capture of the ETLE cameras that are now installed, compared to the basic black color with white writing," said Roy to VOI, Sunday, August 15.
Roy explained that the basis for using black and white writing on vehicle number plates as it is today is the result of adoption since the days of the Dutch East Indies.
"Especially if you remember the history that the TNKB used in Indonesia is a legacy from the Dutch East Indies era long ago, at that time there was no consideration of the ETLE camera," he explained.
Roy assessed that it was natural to change the color of the vehicle plate, so that the ETLE camera system could be applied optimally. Although, he made a note that changes in the future should not burden the community.
"The basic white TNKB color is also used in European and American countries for the same purpose, only the color of the writing there is also blue, not black," he said.
"So basically I agree and technically support this. As long as this change doesn't burden the community, let it happen according to the current validity period of TNKB," he continued.
