Introduction ​

Jakarta, the capital city of Indonesia, is notorious for its traffic congestion. To combat this issue and reduce traffic jams, the city implemented an odd-even traffic scheme. The scheme, also known as “Ganjil-Genap,” restricts certain vehicles from operating on Jakarta’s roads on specific days based on the last digit of their license plate numbers. While this traffic management system aims to reduce congestion, it presents significant challenges for logistics companies operating in the city. In this blog, we will delve into the complexities of Jakarta’s odd-even traffic scheme, the logistics hurdles it creates, and how Zyllem’s comprehensive suite of logistics solutions offers a viable path to navigate this challenge. ​

The Odd-Even Traffic Scheme and its Impact on Logistics ​

Jakarta’s odd-even traffic scheme is a well-intentioned initiative to alleviate traffic congestion. However, it poses several logistical challenges for businesses, especially those involved in last-mile delivery services. Under this system, vehicles are banned from the road on specific days, which disrupts regular delivery schedules. Logistics companies must adjust their operations, considering vehicle restrictions, to maintain efficiency while adhering to the traffic rules. Route planning and vehicle allocation become increasingly complex due to the changing availability of vehicles on any given day. ​

Challenges Faced by Logistics Companies ​

• Route Optimization: The odd-even scheme necessitates adapting route planning to accommodate restrictions. Optimizing routes to minimize the impact on delivery schedules becomes a complex task.

• Fleet Management: Ensuring that the correct vehicles, complying with the number coding scheme, are dispatched is a critical challenge for logistics companies.

• Delivery Timing: Maintaining precise delivery schedules in the face of road restrictions is challenging. It requires real-time adjustments to ensure deliveries are not delayed.

• Data Accuracy: An efficient data management system is crucial to track which vehicles are available on specific days. Errors can lead to non-compliance and possible fines.
