Police Will Install Vehicle Calculator Cameras On Peak Routes

The National Police's Traffic Corps (Kakorlantas) has discussed installing camera counting or vehicle counter cameras on the Puncak tourist route, Bogor Regency, West Java.

Head of the Bogor Police Traffic Unit, AKP Rizky Guntama, revealed that the vehicle counter camera installation is planned to be installed by the National Police Traffic Corps in the next month.

"I still don't know the concept yet. But it can be leaked in one month (camera counting) will be installed," said AKP Rizky, quoted by ANTARA, Thursday, November 9.

According to him, the installation of this camera will assist the Police in controlling the number of vehicles entering and leaving the Puncak route. However, AKP Rizky admitted that he did not know the location of the vehicle counter's camera installation.

"We don't know yet whether it was (installed) on the toll road or at the Gadog Police Post, or where it was installed, I don't know yet, but there has been a discourse there," he said.

AKP Rizky said the installation of the vehicle counter's camera would make it easier for the police to determine actions based on data on the number of vehicles entering and leaving the Puncak route.

This is because the tourist route, which is also a liaison between Bogor Regency and Cianjur Regency, is often crowded with vehicles from outside the city. Especially on weekends and long holidays.

Until now, the Bogor Police have only relied on data on Puncak Area vehicles through records of the Ciawi Toll Exit. However, this data cannot be used as a benchmark considering that the Ciawi Toll Exit is also crossed by vehicles heading to the Bocimi Toll Road.

"Hopefully, if there is a camera counting, it will make it easier for us to calculate how to act if the Puncak is jammed," said AKP Rizky.
