The Problems in Big City

Bandung is one of the big cities in Indonesia. And it has a lot of big cities' main problem.

The first problem is traffic jam. As a big city, Bandung has a fairly dense population. And because of that, the number of vehicles and transportations also very large. We can see that almost everyday, during the workdays, every roads in Bandung are always having traffic jam. Especially, in the weekends or holidays. A lot of people from other cities, event countries visiting Bandung at those occasions, because Bandung is one of the people's favorite place to spend their holidays. So, the number of vehicles will increase much more than in workdays.

Next problem is, there are a lot of perforated roads and streets in Bandung. This is very disturbing, and a bit dangerous, because it may cause traffic jam, even accident. And it seems like government of Bandung is taking no action to fix this problem, because a lot of road improvement projects are stopped before its done, even there are still a lot of damage roads and streets which abandoned.

Last but not least, traffic violations is another problem in Bandung. This thing is very annoying, and it is bothering people a lot. For example, when there is a traffic jam, some of motorbikes will ride their bikes on to sidewalk, it messed road up and it make the traffic jam getting worse. Another example, when people race their vehicle on the road. It's very noisy, and it may cause an accident.

Those three problems are still exist, and it's not easy to solve them today. But, i have a plan to solve those problems in the future, with ICT ways.
To solve traffic jam, we can make a cooperation with police department and transportation department, to make a program and software which can detect a vehicle that still necessary to ride. If the vehicle is no longer necessary to use, and the driver have no driving license, or other case, then it will reduce the numbers of vehicles on the road.
For the perforated roads, ICT can solve it, by sponsoring the improvement road projects, and help the government to control and monitoring the development of the project.
And the solution for traffic violations, we can cooperate with police department to put the camera which can record the violation and the person who do that thing. So that police can find the executant easier and faster, so that the traffic violation can reduce and the road will be not as messy as before.
