AI Becomes Solution for Jakarta Congestion at 20 Intersections

Jakarta – The Head of DKI Jakarta Transportation Service (Dishub), Syafrin Liputo conveyed that artificial intelligence (AI) becomes solutions for congestion at 20 intersections in Jakarta. 

"So, there are twenty intersections that have implemented AI principles with intelligent transport systems at traffic lights," Liputo said on Sunday. 

According to him, AI can assist in traffic monitoring and adjust traffic light timings based on information from Google's database.

An AI-based application can also enhance the traffic management system and calculate the actual traffic volumes at the intersections. With the help of this technology, the Jakarta Transportation Service can determine the ratio between road capacity and traffic density.

"The traffic lights can identify which section is more congested and prioritize longer green lights for that congested spot," Liputo informed.
