Jasa Marga and BPS to integrate toll traffic data

Jasa Marga and Indonesia’s BPS agreed to integrate toll traffic data to improve how they analyse transport and economic activity.

Jasa Marga is a state-owned toll road operator, and BPS is the country’s statistics agency.

The data already covers about 70% of toll traffic, according to BPS chief Amalia Adininggar Widyasanti.

Toll traffic can help show changes in transport, logistics and economic activity between regions.

BPS says the data could improve economic measurements and reduce the need to wait for survey results.

The agencies plan to exchange data through an application programming interface and carry out regular monitoring and evaluation.

They also aim to develop mobility models and forecasts using their combined data.
