YOKOHAMA, SINGAPORE – HERE Technologies (HERE), an advanced location and location technology platform, today announced a partnership with Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd., a leading company in advanced electronics design and manufacturing. Announced that it will provide the Jakarta city government with unprecedented insight into traffic congestion and the ability to monitor, predict, and address a variety of traffic-related issues.
Jakarta is well known for its traffic jams. According to the Jakarta Police Traffic Division, in 2022, commuters will lose an average of 30 minutes per trip due to traffic congestion [1]. This has resulted in an estimated economic loss of US$4.5 billion to Indonesia over the last year [1].
The collaboration between HERE and Murata Manufacturing will expand the possibilities for smarter and more sustainable traffic management in Jakarta. By integrating HERE’s maps and traffic data with Murata’s traffic counter system using LiDAR technology, Jakarta city
authorities can monitor real-time traffic data such as number of vehicles, classification, direction of flow, speed, traffic peaks, etc. Gain unprecedented insight into traffic patterns such as time of day, busy travel routes, and more. This allows us to monitor, predict, and proactively address various urban mobility challenges.
The traffic management system can also measure environmental conditions, such as predicting rainfall based on carbon dioxide and barometric pressure sensors, and identify areas that may/are flooded or are impassable. Masu. This allows for better visualization and management of road traffic, such as reducing traffic bottlenecks and minimizing accidents, especially on busy roads by changing traffic light cycles depending on traffic conditions. was realized.
Hiroaki Tsumori, Traffic Counter Business Project Manager, Murata Manufacturing Co., Ltd., said: “We are pleased to collaborate with HERE on digital transformation efforts to alleviate traffic congestion in Jakarta.Prior to this partnership, we were simply overlaying traffic data on top of digitized maps. Through our collaboration, we have unlocked the potential for smart, data-driven traffic management solutions that can address broader traffic issues in Indonesia’s capital.”
Murata Manufacturing and HERE will not only analyze Jakarta’s traffic problems from various angles, but also develop efficient travel routes that will avoid traffic congestion, reduce fuel consumption, and reduce carbon dioxide emissions. We were able to build a traffic management model to serve commuters.
As system capabilities continue to evolve, Jakarta city authorities are considering implementing predictive analytics that leverage historical traffic data to proactively suggest optimal routes before traffic jams occur. There are also plans to integrate this system with Indonesia’s smart city initiative and connect it to traffic signal management, parking systems, and public transportation networks. Takashi Eda, CEO and CEO of HERE Japan Co., Ltd., said: “HERE’s strategic partnership with Murata reflects both companies’ commitment to transforming cities and smart mobility through technology. We partner with Murata to enhance traffic visualization and management in Jakarta. Together with Murata Manufacturing, we can extend this success beyond Indonesia to enable more sustainable and efficient transportation systems in many cities around the world. I’m looking forward to doing it.”
