Traffic jams are a prolonged problem in the world's big cities, including in Surabaya, Indonesia. Therefore, a team of students from Sepuluh Nopember Institute of Technology (ITS) Surabaya created an AI-for-integrated program called Surabaya Integrated Smart Road Infrastructure (SISRI) as a solution for traffic jams in Surabaya.

Head of ITS Go Gangster Team, Muhammad Afif, explained that Smart Transport and Smart Governance are two important pillars in the development of smart cities. The team created an adaptive traffic light based on traffic density. The app has five top features that can watch people's mobility patterns. One of the main features is SI-Eye, an AI-based camera sensor that can detect type, speed, and flow of traffic. The data collected by the sensor is sent to SI-Traffic that will then adaptively change the traffic light color. This can prevent congestion due to the duration of traffic lights. This innovation also has SI-Robu with an on-board unit. This is an instrument installed on vehicles and can send signals to traffic lights to make it turn green. This device is mainly installed on priority vehicles such as buses, ambulances, and fire trucks.

There are also additional features like SI-Air that monitor air quality on a real-time basis. This service is integrated with SI-Maps, so that SISRI can provide route recommendations with good air quality. Besides, SI-Maps also can show public transport position and route. With their innovation, the team won 1st place in the Smart City category in the Gemastik XIV Semarang State University (UNNES), recently.
