Participants are assigned to write ideas and prototype tools or other applications to minimize the risk of accidents in driving. Jasa Raharja held a Youth Innovation Contest with the theme “Traffic Solutions to Prevent Accidents for Youth” as one of efforts to minimize the risk of accidents, where according to a source from the Indonesian National Police, every hour there are  3 people die due to the road accidents in Indonesia. There are 3 factors that cause traffic accidents including 9% vehicle factors where this is related to roadworthy technical requirements, 30% environmental factors related to infrastructure, and the last and biggest factor is the human factor at 61% where it is related to the ability and character of the driver.

The Telkom University team hopes that with this Brainstat, the risk of accidents while driving can be minimized. Therefore, all riders can meet the safety riding criteria.(IO)***
