In recent years, the railway transportation system has become one of the main means of transportation. Therefore, driving safety is of great importance. However, because of the potential of multiple breaks of elastic rail clips in a fixed rail, accidents may occur when a train passes through the track. This paper presents the development of a computer visual recognition system which can detect the status of elastic rail clips. This visual recognition system can be used in mass rapid transit systems to reduce the substantial need of manpower for checking elastic rail clips at present. The visual recognition system under current development includes five components: preprocessing, identification of rail position, search of elastic rail clip regions, selection of the elastic rail clip, and recognition of the elastic rail clip. The preprocessing system transforms the colored images into grey-level images and eliminates noises. The identification of rail position system uses characteristics of the grey-level variation and confirms the rail position. The search system uses wavelet transformation to carry out the search of elastic rail clip regions. The selection system finds a suitable threshold, using techniques from morphological processing, object search and image processing. The recognition system processes characteristics and structures of elastic rail clips. Experimental testing shows the ability of the developed system to recognize both normal elastic rail clip images and broken elastic rail clip images. This result confirms the feasibility in developing such a visual recognition system.

AbstractThe mass rapid transit (MRT) is the largest transport infrastructure project under the national key economic area (NKEA) in Malaysia. As urban rail is anticipated to be the future spine of public transport network in the Greater Kuala Lumpur city, it is important to mainstream climate change mitigation and public health benefits in the local transport development. This study quantifies the health co-benefits in terms of mortality among the urbanites when the first line of the 150 km MRT system in Kuala Lumpur commences by 2017.Using comparative health risk assessment, we estimated the potential health co-benefits from the establishment of the MRT system. We estimated the reduced COA total of 363,130 tonnes of COThe implementation of the MRT system in Greater Kuala Lumpur could bring substantial health co-benefits to both the general population and the MRT users mainly from the avoidance of mortality from traffic injuries.

The development activities are things that every country to realize the fulfillment of the needs and welfare of the community. Limited land area is still one of the big problems in carrying out development. The land area that does not increase, followed by the need for land that continues to increase is the cause. The type of research used is the method normative and empirical juridical research which was finally analyzed using qualitative analysis methods. Regulation of the Governor of DKI Jakarta No. 167 of 2012 about underground space and the Regulation of the Minister of Public Works No. 02/PRT/M/2014 on Guidelines for Use of Space Inside the Earth, that exists today is sufficient and accommodate the implementation of the use of space underground for the construction of the Jakarta Mass Rapid Transit (MRT). However, as a step in the future use of underground space, required regulations on the use of space underground in the form of legislation that accommodates all the needs that have not been included in the current rules. Keywords: Underground Space Utilization, MRT Jakarta, Legal Certainty.

DKI Jakarta selain merupakan Ibukota Negara Indonesia juga menjadi pusat bisnis dan pemerintahan dengan jumlah penduduk mencapai 10.374.235 jiwa dan kepadatan penduduk mencapai 15.663 orang per . Dinamika kota-kota besar dengan karakter pertumbuhan penduduk dan kepadatan lalu lintas yang tinggi membuat kebutuhan terhadap pengembangan sistem transportasi terutama transportasi massal cepat (Mass Rapid Transportation-MRT) menjadi cukup besar. Selain itu, pengembangan sistem transportasi ini juga untuk mengimbangi pertumbuhan kendaraan pribadi yang terus mengalami peningkatan sedangkan sistem moda shares angkutan umum cenderung mengalami penurunan hingga 3% sejak tahun 2002. Saat ini, terdapat upaya pengembangan sistem angkutan umum massal berbasis jalan dan berbasis rel berdasarkan RTRW DKI Jakarta 2010-2030. Berkaitan dengan kondisi tersebut perlu adanya kajian terhadap penilaian pelayanan transportasi umum guna menarik masyarakat dalam menggunakannya agar permasalahan lalu lintas yang ada dapat terselesaikan. Tujuan penelitian ini antara lain adalah mengetahui karakteristik masyarakat yang memiliki preferensi dalam menggunakan moda MRT dan faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi preferensi masyarakat dalam menggunakan moda MRT. Penelitian ini menggunakan metode analisis statistic deskriptif dan analisis faktor. Berdasarkan hasil analisa diketahui masyarakat yang memiliki preferensi untuk menggunakan moda MRT sebesar 98% dengan karakter sebagian besar berjenis kelamin Laki-laki, rentang usia 25-35 Tahun, jenis pekerjaan pegawai swasta, dan tingkat penghasilan ≥Rp.4.000.000. Tujuan perjalanan menuju perkantoran, dan memiliki keperluan perjalanan untuk bekerja. Selanjutnya dari analisis faktor dihasilkan 17 kelompok faktor yang mempengaruhi preferensi masyarakat dalam menggunakan moda MRT, dengan kelompok faktor nomor 1 yang memiliki tingkat variasi eigen value tertinggi.

<p>In the era of transportation development and technological sophistication, humans tend to choose transportation that is fast and affordable. The Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) train of Jakarta, has become one of the choices for Jakarta public transportation in its activities. Inaugurated on March 24, 2019, several problems were complained by passengers, namely regarding the perception of ease of transaction and customer value. The Influence of Perceived Ease of Transaction on the satisfaction of passengers of the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Train of Jakarta based on statistical results it can be said that  Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Train of Jakarta passengers have partially significant satisfaction to use Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Train of Jakarta in accordance with the Transaction Ease Perception. Satisfaction with Perception of Ease of Transaction as easy to learn, easy to use, clear, easy to understand, skilled. The Influence of Customer Value on the satisfaction of passengers of Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Train of Jakarta based on statistical results it can be said that Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Train of Jakarta passengers have partially significant satisfaction to use Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Train of Jakarta in accordance with Ticket Prices that have been paid out. Satisfaction of Customer Value paid is due to added value, suitability of costs with benefits, ease of obtaining services, emotional value. The Influence of Perceived Ease of Transaction and Customer Value on the satisfaction of passengers of Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Train of Jakarta based on statistical results can be said that Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Train of Jakarta passengers have significant simultaneous satisfaction to use Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Train of Jakarta in accordance with Ticket Prices, Facilities and Ease of Transaction Ease. The satisfaction of passengers of the Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Train of Jakarta towards the Perception of Ease of Transaction and Customer Value that are jointly felt are satisfaction of punctuality, satisfaction of completeness of facilities, satisfaction of price suitability, satisfaction of departure schedules, and satisfaction of functions and facilities.</p><p><strong>Keywords</strong>: Mass Rapid Transit (MRT) Train of Jakarta, Facilities, Perception Ease of Transaction, Customer Value</p>
