The transport department runs an Area Traffic Control System from City Hall: local controllers at signalised junctions, CCTV, and what it calls vehicle detectors that pick out vehicles from the camera images, with an override to hold a green for fire engines, ambulances and convoys. Its public site streams live camera feeds from 14 junction locations, almost all of them on the Pasteur and PHH Mustofa corridors, and publishes a rolling dashboard of the violations those cameras record. Mayor Muhammad Farhan said in July 2025 that the adaptive retiming capability is installed but unused for want of data: 'Alatnya sudah siap, tapi belum ada datanya untuk dimasukin berapa menit … kalau datanya masuk, dia akan mengatur sendiri.' Nothing the dashboard counts becomes a fine — ticketing in Indonesia rests with the police ETLE system, not the city.
📊 Impact
The department's own public dashboard listed 370 recorded violations across eight junctions in the first six days of August 2026, involving 248 vehicles, of which 208 were two-wheelers. The most common recorded offence was stopping on a zebra crossing (104), ahead of disobeying a traffic sign (92) and stopping past the stop line (82).
🎓 Lesson
'Adaptive' is a property of the installed equipment, not of the running system. Bandung bought signal controllers that can retime themselves and, on the mayor's own account, never fed them the counts they need — so the visible output is a violation tally with no enforcement attached to it. Ask any adaptive-signal programme two separate questions: is the hardware capable, and is anyone supplying it.
