2. Outline of Technical Session1) International seminar on traffic survey method using
image processing technology
Seminar was attended by 115 participants and opened by Director ofInstitute of Road Engineering, The Agency for Research andDevelopment Ministry of Public Works Republic of Indonesia, Mr.
Herry VAZA and Speech from Japan side was delivered by Directorof International Research Division of National Institute for Land,Infrastructure and Management (NILIM), Mr. Shinri SONE.
5 papers related to Traffic Survey Method had been presented; first,Current Practice of Automatic Traffic Counting in Indonesia
presented by Mr. Handiyana and Mr. Disi Hanafi from IRE. Second,Major Findings Obtained from the Joint Study for Traffic Volume
Survey Using Image Processing Technology presented by Mr.
Hirotaka Sekiya from NILIM. Third, Traffic Conflict Studies andBlack Spot Countermeasure Development presented by Mr. Idris
Loebis from IRE. Fourth, Black Spot Countermeasures and theEffectiveness Analyzed by Video Camera presented by Mr. Nozomu
Mori from NILIM. Last, Probability Model to Predict Carbon
Monoxide (CO) and Hydrocarbon (HC) for Motorcycle Emissions
presented by Mr. Agah Mulyadi from IRE.

2-1) Traffic Volume Survey using Image processing
Technology (IPT)
It was confirmed that the targets for the first term (2010 to 2013)
were successfully achieved. The targets are: 1) confirming theapplicability of IPT to traffic volume survey in Indonesia and 2)
clarifying the optimum camera settings to measure traffic volume
the most accurately under given circumstances.
It was agreed that we continue the joint study for another 3 years as
the second term beginning in 2014. The target for the second term is
to develop a framework that allows a record of the number of axlesof vehicles, which is obtained from the LPS device, to be added tothe corresponding record of vehicles, which is obtained from the IPTdevice.

2-2) Traffic Accidents Black Spot Countermeasures
It was confirmed that the targets for the first term (2010 to 2013)
were successfully achieved.
It was agreed that we continue the joint study for another 3 years as
the second term beginning in 2014. The target for the second term is
to develop a guideline that shows 1) how to set cameras to obtaintraffic video images so as to effectively identify problems regarding
road safety and 2) how to select countermeasures from the traffic
video images.

2-3) Tunnel And Underground Structure
In this meeting about the tunnel and undergroundstructure, the presentations about the urban tunnel
construction technology of Japan, mainly the shieldtunneling method, were carried out. Afterwards, fieldsurvey and discussion of design of the Indonesian's firstroad tunnel currently in planning was carried out. The draftof the auxiliary method guidelines which was written jointly
was also discussed. It was confirmed that we set a goal tocomplete the guidelines by 2014 first half and to hold aseminar related to the guideline.
2-4) Asbuton Research Project To Environment Mitigation
This workshop was attended by 8 participants from IRE (4persons), PWRI (3 persons) and Indonesia counterparts (1persons).
On this workshop, both sides discussed 5 topics related toAsphalt Butons;
1. Asbuton extraction in Indonesia (presented by Mr. Willy
Pravianto from IRE)
2. The Experimental Results on Rheological Properties ofExtracted Asphalt Using Various Solvents (presented by Dr.
Sasaki from PWRI)
3. Guss Asphalt Using Asbuton as Alternative TLA(presented by Dr. Kawakami from PWRI)
4. Guss asphalt for patching (presented by Mr. Madi
Hermadi from IRE)
5. Hot mix Asbuton Cold Paving (presented by Mr. Nyoman
Suaryana from IRE)
In this session, both institutes agreed to extended additional
3 years joint research collaboration in Asbuton toenvironment Mitigation and made the arrangement ofresearch activities for future.

3. Reference (History of the Cooperation)
At the 18th Conference of Research and Development of Public Works in Asia (on thetheme of Unique Road-Policy Applied to The Regional Conditions and Issues), the National
Institute for Land and Infrastructure Management (NILIM) and the Research andDevelopment Center for Road and Bridge (RDCRB) signed a memorandum concerning thecooperation activities at NILIM in TSUKUBA, November 2009.
Under this memorandum, the NILIM and RDCRB will continually share research
information by, for example, jointly holding technical seminars and will actively exchange
researchers to strengthen links between NILIM and Asia and to form international humannetworks, thereby providing technical supports for the growth in Asia.
