Jakarta (B2B) - Pemerintah Provinsi DKI Jakarta akan memanfaatkan tenaga surya (solar cell) sebagai tenaga listrik untuk seluruh lampu merah (traffic light) di ibukota.
"Kami mulai dengan mengganti sumber listrik pada lampu lalu lintas penyeberangan orang, tujuannya agar traffic light tetap menyala meskipun terjadi pemadaman," kata Kepala Dinas Perhubungan dan Transportasi DKI Jakarta, Andri Yansyah di Jakarta pada Selasa (8/3).
Dia menambahkan tenaga surya juga akan dimanfaatkan pada lampu peringatan, dan apabila uji coba ini berjalan efektif maka seluruh traffic light di Jakarta akan menggunakan solar cell.
Wakil Kepala Dishubtrans DKI Jakarta, Sunardi Sinaga menambahkan, penggunaan solar cell pada traffic light sebenarnya telah dipakai sejumlah kota besar di dunia.
Jakarta (B2B) - Jakarta Provincial Government plans to install solar cell at all city traffic light in Indonesian capital, according to the city's senior official.
“We start the effort from pedestrian crossing light, the effort is aimed to keep traffic light on during blackout or electricity problem," the Head Jakarta Department of Transportation, Andri Yansyah said here on Tuesday (3/8).
He said besides installing solar cell at traffic light, the technology is also installed at warning light. If the plan is effective, all traffic light would have solar cell.
Meanwhile Sunardi Sinaga as department’s vice said solar cell use has been implemented in big cities around the world.
“Our hope is installing on main roads and protocol. The device is expensive, but it is efficient and environmental-friendly,” he said.
