The smart transportation system is expected to be able to answer the challenges in the future of IKN by adapting the latest technology.
Head of the Archipelago Capital Authority (IKN) Bambang Susantono stated that an intelligent transportation system (ITS) will be developed in the new Indonesian capital; Archipelago. This system will adapt the latest high technology.
"I hope that ITS can become an implementable and doable system and be able to answer the challenges in the future of IKN by adapting the latest technology, internet of things, artificial intelligence, and robotic technology," said Bambang, quoted from a press release, Friday (15/7/). 2022).
Bambang said that the development of ITS in IKN needs to pay attention to three things. First, the integration of ITS with the master plan for sustainable transportation at IKN. Second, the system developed by ITS must be able to answer the challenges ahead, and third, the technology developed must be in accordance with the capacity of the institution that will run it.
“Don't be dependent on one particular expert or company. Technology transfer must be part of capacity building, and its implementation must involve local institutions, especially academic campuses, which are expected to be able to further develop existing technology," said Bambang.
Bambang also reminded that adaptation of smart transportation systems must be technically feasible, socially acceptable, economically and financially feasible, and environmentally sustainable.
The leader of the Smart Transportation System Master Plan Development Team at IKN as well as ITS Indonesia Vice President Resdiansyah revealed, there were eight ITS systems proposed for IKN.
These systems are Advanced Traffic Management Systems (ATMS), Advanced Public Transportation System (APTS), Incident Management System (IMS), Electronic Payment System (APS).
Then, the Advanced Traveler Information System (ATIS), Advanced Parking Management System (APMS), Commercial Vehicle Operation System (CVOS), and Autonomous Driving System (ADS).
However, he reminded, not all of these technologies can be fully adopted in IKN due to several obstacles such as geographical conditions, infrastructure planning, to human resources and changes in driving behavior. (otoritaikn, antara)
