Unraveling Congestion At 20 Intersections, DKI Transportation Agency Uses AI Technology

A number of vehicles were stuck in traffic jams during work hours on Jalan Gatot Subroto, Jakarta, Tuesday (9/5/2023). BETWEEN

JAKARTA - The DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency (Dishub) said as many as 20 intersections have used artificial intelligence (AI) technology to help reduce congestion.

"So there are twenty intersections that have implemented the AI principle with the intelligence transport system (smart transportation system) at traffic light (traffic traffic)," said Head of the DKI Jakarta Transportation Agency (Dishub) Syafrin Liputo quoted from Antara, Sunday.

According to Syafrin, the application of artificial intelligence (AI) is quite influential in monitoring and setting time at traffic light based on information on Google's internal database.

In addition, the application of AI can also strengthen the function of traffic management systems that are run and calculate the actual volume of traffic at the intersection.

So, with this technology, the DKI Transportation Agency can find out which junctions are congested, so that at that point there will be more green light priorities or longer," said Syafrin. Then, with the application of this AI technology Dishub DKI also gives priority to public transport routes, such as TransJakarta. So, the AI system will read automatically if the TransJakarta pass will be given a green light priority to pass first. The 20 locations that already use artificial intelligence (AI) technology include Jalan Jembatan 2 Raya-Jalan Tubagus Angke, Jalan Kyai Tapa-Jalan Daan Mogot (Grogol), Jalan S Parman-Jalan KS. Tubun-Jalan Gatot Subroto (Slipi), and Jalan Gatot Subroto-Jalan Rasuna Said (Kuningan).

Then Jalan Gatot Subroto-Jalan Supomo (Pancoran), Jalan MT Haryono-Jalan Sutoyo (Cawang Uki), Jalan DI Panjaitan-Jalan Kalimalang, Jalan Ahmad Yani-Jalan Utan Kayu (Rawamangun), Jalan Ahmad Yani-Jalan Pemuda-Jalan Pramuka, Jalan Ahmad Yani-Jalan H. Ten, and Jalan Perintis Kemerdekaan-Jalan Letjen Suprapto.

Then Jalan Senen Raya-Jalan Kwitang (Senen), Jalan Gunung Sahari-Jalan Wahidin, Jalan Gunung Sahari-Jalan Dokter Sutomo (MBAL), Jalan Gunung Sahari-Jalan Angkasa-Jalan Samanhudi, Jalan Gunung Sahari-Jalan Pangeran Jayakarta, Jalan Gunung Sahari-Jalan Mangga Dua, and Jalan Perniaga Raya-Jalan Pasar Pagi Flyover (Jembatan Lima). This year, said Syafrin, his party will add another 40 intersections that will be installed for the application of artificial intelligence (AI) as an effort to reduce congestion in DKI Jakarta.
