The 8th JOINT WORKSHOP HELD IN JAKARTA, INDONESIA
From 30th Jan to 1st Feb
The 8th Joint Workshop for the technology and policy research of Road and Transport washeld in Jakarta by NILIM, Japan and IRE, Indonesia (*) with sister organizations from 30th
Jan to 1st Feb.
(*)IRE: Institute of Road Engineering, Ministry of Public Works, Indonesia
1. The theme for this time WS
In this 8th Joint Workshop, picked up five themes focused on;1) 2-Motor Cycle Environment2) Traffic Volume Survey using Image processing Technology (IPT)3) Traffic Accidents Black Spot Countermeasures4) Tunnel And Underground Structure5) Asbuton Research Project To Environment Mitigation

2. Outline of Technical Session
1) 2-Motor Cycle Environment
The following themes were discussed;
1. Japanese policy to road environmental problems of air pollution, noiseand greenhouse gases,
2. Survey on emissions of motorcycles and future countermeasures inIndonesia,
3. Estimations of the effect to reduce CO2 emissions by switch
motorcycles and 4-wheel vehicles based on Japanese theory on traffic
capacity,
4. Model of Influence from motorcycle emission in Indonesia,
5. Progress report on joint Research of Guideline Development forEnvironmentally Friendly Road, Using Motorcycles,
6. Contents of the poster presentation on this joint research in REAAA
conference 2013.
As a result, it was evident that the following terms needs;
1. Survey and accumulate the CO2 emissions’ data of motorcycle on
actual roads to develop the factors by travel speed,
2. Consideration of the effect of the specialized lanes installed for only
motorcycles to estimate the change of CO2 emissions,
3. IRE needs to compare the graph from NILIM about relationshipbetween CO2 emissions and motorcycle speed and also the relationshipbetween motorcycle proportion and motorcycle speed.
We decided the following next actions;
1. IRE progress the survey on CO2 emissions of motorcycle on actualroads, using the converted calculations from fuel consumption,
2. NILIM progress the study on consideration method of the effect byinstalled the specialized lanes for motorcycle, using traffic simulator orsurvey data at the installed lanes in Indonesia,
3. 3) Both sides begin to write the book on this joint research results
toward the joint publishing of 2014.

2) Traffic Volume Survey using Image processing Technology(IPT)Agreed that the study focus for the field survey in 2013 is to verify theapplicability of the combination use of ITP and LPL system.
Specified a method for the survey (simultaneously videotaping the same
traffic by 5 cameras from various angles (0, 15, 30, 45 and 60 degrees fromthe vertical) and LPLs, which are currently used in Indonesia.
Agreed to submit a paper for the EASTS conference in Sept. 2013 toreport our findings so far.

3) Traffic Accidents Black Spot Countermeasures
Indonesia has announced the results of making video recordings ofintersections where the traffic volume is large and the risk of traffic
accidents considered to be high in the cities of Bandung and Bali andstudying safety countermeasures against high level conflicts which tend tooccur frequently according to the videos, and a method of clarifying
conflicts based on image processing. According to the results of the study ofsafety countermeasures, the traffic safety countermeasures that Indonesia
studied are presumed to be appropriate, and Japan has proposed
countermeasures which will presumably be effective at the intersections
considered. Image processing was presumed to be in a state in which it isusable to a certain degree, but Indonesia wanted to further improve image
processing methods, so it was proposed that if safety at the intersections isevaluated, it will probably be practical to categorize intersections according
to number of intersecting streets, number of lanes, intersection angle etc.,
then analyze the present situation for each category to clarify thecharacteristics of actual conflicts with making tree correlation analysis. And,
it was proposed to consider and determine the minimum requirements about
what kind of data needs to analysis for each categorized intersection.
Japan introduced traffic safety countermeasure management methods andguard fence installation standards.

4) Tunnel And Underground Structure
At this meeting about the tunnel, the information exchange was performed
relating the Indonesia's first road tunnel where construction was planned by
2014 and a design in progress. In addition, about a tunnel auxiliary method,possibility method adopted in this tunnel, construction examples in Japan
were introduced and progress of guideline about the auxiliary method wasconfirmed. Also the contents and a future work process were discussed.
Furthermore, about the guideline on tunnel facilities that Indonesia side hasa need for in future, Japan side introduced a Japan guideline and we
confirmed it is future agenda.

5) Asbuton Research Project To Environment Mitigation
In order to utilize natural asphalt resources in Indonesia, various researchand development have been conducted in the bi-lateral cooperation. In thisWS, both sides presented research papers and discussed technical issues
such as modified asphalt products and full extraction procedures. Bothsides agreed future collaboration especially for assistance of plant-scale
extraction technologies and improvement of AsButon guideline /specification.

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 Institute of Road
Engineering (IRE) signed a memorandum concerning the cooperation activities at NILIM inTSUKUBA, November 2009.
Under this memorandum, the NILIM and IRE will continually share research informationby, for example, jointly holding technical seminars and will actively exchange researchers tostrengthen links between NILIM and Asia and to form international human networks, thereby
providing technical supports for the growth in Asia.
