INTERNATIONAL SYMPOSIUM FOR ENVIRONMENTALLYFRIENDLY ROAD AND TRANSPORTSUCCESSFULLY HELDON 14th, 15th OCTOBER 2010 IN BALI, INDONESIAThe International Symposium for Environmentally Friendly Road and Transport was
successfully held by NILIM and RDCRB (IRE, Institute of Road Engineering, Ministryof Public Work, Republic of Indonesia) from 14th to 15th October 2010 in Bali,Indonesia.
This Symposium was so delivered as the second cooperative activity of NILIM and IRE
after the Joint Workshop in last March in Bandung, both of which are working under theMemorandum of Research Cooperation signed in Tsukuba, in November, 2009. In orderto deploy our leadership to the Asia and Pacific Regions broadly in the technologicalresearch area, we invited researchers of the third countries to the Symposium, which
was actually attended by researchers of seven countries, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand,Vietnam, Germany, Indonesia and Japan with over 200 researchers and high ranked
officials.

As the conclusion, we have made the Declaration on the Policy and Strategy to be
applied to the Climate Change issue and how harmonized road and transport systems
are with the environment of the respective countries in the Asia and Pacific, as well as
cooperative research projects identified concretely.

The key points of the Declaration are as below;
1) Policy Structure
Best combination of countermeasures in line with respective stage of socio-economic
development of each country.
2) Strategy for Prioritization
Considering roles of new powers for the world economy, we should put our priority
on the infrastructure improvement as bases of all countermeasures including smart
using of road and transport services.
3) Countermeasures and Methods in the main fieldsa) Road Environment/Improvement measures for air pollution and noise including setting out the targets/Climate Change strategy including mitigation and adaptation/Best practices for the integrated transport system in Asian mega cities/Road transport system taking account of electric/hybrid vehicles/Economic measures including fuel and vehicle taxation and road pricingb) Road Pavement for mitigating the negative impacts of Climate Change/Technology of new materials for innovative pavements/Promotion of drainage/porous pavement and related standards of local materials (ex.
Asbuton asphalt in Indonesia)/Public works efficiency in recycle reuse and reducec) Bridge and Tunnel in efficiency of construction and maintenance/Innovation in structural management of Bridge and Tunnel maintenance/Sensor technology for monitoring the deteriorations of Bridge and Tunnel and theirelements/Technical control in construction of tunnel by NATM and TBM/Chemical painting and other related measures for reducing the life cycle costs ofstructures, especially for corrosions of steel bridges/Countermeasures against the overload issues including making Acts and Regulations
with related technological systems

projects, etc.)/Countermeasures to the disasters, especially of landslide and flood in road networks
to keep the traffic service in continuity and restore it in a shorter period.
And under these thinking, 6 research projects were set out.
