JAKARTA - The Traffic Corps (Korlantas) of the Indonesian National Police uses an application located at the security post to monitor the smooth flow of arrivals of delegates and VVIP guests at the G20 Summit in Bali.

Head of Korlantas Polri Inspector General Pol. Firman Shantyabudi explained, the post with the application would monitor the delegates, starting from their arrival in Bali, to the event venue or accommodation, to facilitate the movement of traffic police officers in the field.

"There were several tasks carried out, one of which was guarding the points of departure from and destinations during the G20 Summit," Firman said in a written statement, quoted from Antara, Monday, November 14.

The application is connected to cameras in the field, vehicles, and members of the National Police, so that officers at the post can get various information needed at certain times and conditions.

Meanwhile, at the command post, there are several monitors containing a number of images of the movement of officers in the field, including the path the delegation will take.

"For example, there is a purple color depicting the position of Polri personnel on the road who is carrying out traffic management. We can click to find out the names of the personnel and their telephone numbers," he explained.

Furthermore, the light blue color depicts the position of electric vehicles, which are mostly deployed to escort delegates during activities in Bali. In addition, the dark blue color depicts vehicles that run on fossil fuels.

"So, we monitor every movement, make sure they are on the route that has been determined and this helps if something happens we can report it to the command to provide assistance at which point," he added.

For track monitoring, Firman gave an example of the sophistication of technology that can be used to monitor road conditions from the airport to the hotel.

"We take the example that Aipda Made will be in charge of driving an electric four-wheeled vehicle and he brought a delegation from India. So, we immediately knew which delegation this was and knew exactly what the duties of the members were," he said.

If during the escort there are obstacles, such as traffic jams or strong winds when crossing the toll road, the application can inform officers in the field.

The application is also designed to monitor weather conditions connected to the Meteorology, Climatology, and Geophysics Agency (BMKG).

If the BMKG reports that the wind speed on the toll road reaches 50 km/hour and is dangerous for passing vehicles, the officers will direct them to an alternative route.

"Members can monitor where they have to be on standby, whether they go through the main or alternative routes. So, everything is communicated with the Paspampres entourage in the group," he added.

Firman said that every report entered in the application at the security post is real time, so that the command at the post can decide what to do and who to deploy.
