Ratu harbor beach is one of the mainstay tourist sites for the Regional Government of Sukabumi Regency in bringing PAD, besides public transportation facilities and terminals have a major role in supporting the queen port as a tourist attraction so that tourists are comfortable and facilitated in accessing through public transportation. The condition of the Pelabuhan Ratu Terminal, Sukabumi Regency is currently very poor, poorly maintained, and many supporting facilities are damaged and inadequate. This study aims to identify problems and formulate the type B terminal arrangement in Sukabumi Regency. The method used is descriptive qualitative in order to get a picture of the problems of the situation and conditions currently taking place or occurring in the present and the study of policies. Collecting data by field surveys, literature studies and interviews. The results in this study get a terminal B type terminal design concept Sukabumi Regency according to current and future needs.

This paper presents the results of an extensive field study on the comparative performance of alternative materials for snow and ice control of transportation facilities. Approximately 300 tests were conducted in a real-world environment, covering four alternative materials, and 21 snow events. Each of the alternatives tested were compared to regular rock salt in terms of snow melting performance — bare-pavement regain time. The study confirmed the relative advantage of these alternatives over the regular salt, but also showed that their performance varied largely depending on some external conditions. Performance models were calibrated and then used for developing application rate adjustment factors that can be applied by maintenance operations for determining the optimal application rates for specific weather events and pavement conditions. The applicability of the results is limited to parking lots and sidewalks without the traffic effects, and as such cannot be easily applied to winter roadways maintenance.

Unfortunately public buildings and municipal transportation facilities are vandalised. We have the same problem with luminaires in the mentioned application areas. Luminaires are not only exposed to weather but also to increasing vandalism. For the purpose of the product responsibility and the subsequent recycling, namely to work with as few different non‐polluting and easy to depollute materials as possible, this issue is discussed with regard to the realisation of a new vandal‐resistant liminaire system with high safety classification IP 65 and optionally in protection class I and II (double insulated).

The term “urban mass transit” generally refers to scheduled intra-city service on a fixed route in shared vehicles. Public transportation is an important contributing factor to urban sustainability. Effective transportation networks that incorporate public transit livable by easing commute and transportation needs and increasing accessibility. To assess public transportation accessibility in metropolitan networks, two indices are used: the supply level of urban public transportation facilities resource and the public transportation-private automobile traveling time ratio. As the research in the Wolaita sodo town region and the assessment system, an evaluation technique for urban public transportation facility resource supply is developed based on accessibility. Accessibility is a representative indicator for evaluating the supply of bus system. Traditional studies have evaluated the accessibility from different aspects. Considering the interaction among land use, bus timetable arrangement and individual factors, a more holistic accessibility measurement is proposed to combine static and dynamic characteristics from multisource traffic data. The objective is to highlight the main lessons learned and identify knowledge gaps to guide the design and evaluation of future transport investments. Moreover, studies looking at ways to improve the operational efficiency of systems and those seeking to promote behavioral changes in transport users offer great potential to generate learning that is useful for the public and private actors involved.

Kota Banjarmasin adalah ibu kota provinsi dari Kalimantan Selatan dengan berbagai macam aktivitas. Salah satu angkutan umum Kota Banjarmasin adalah bus AKAP (Antar Kota Antar Provinsi) PO. Pulau Indah Jaya yang melayani transportasi penumpang dengan tujuan kota dan provinsi. Sarana transportasi memiliki tarif biaya yang ditentukan berdasarkan Biaya Operasional Kendaraan (BOK). Tujuan penelitian ini untuk mengetahui besar BOK bus AKAP dengan metode Pacific Consultant International (PCI) dan untuk mengetahui besar tarif yang diinginkan penumpang beserta tanggapan terhadap tarif yang berlaku saat ini Willingness To Pay (WTP).Penelitian ini dilakukan melalui survei wawancara untuk BOK kepada pihak PO. dan sopir bus dengan jumlah data 25 unit bus dan untuk WTP survei wawancara dengan sampel 200 penumpang bus di terminal KM 6 tempat pembelian tiket bus.Besar BOK yang dikeluarkan oleh PO. Pulau Indah Jaya Rp Rp 8.137.912.279 /tahun (bus Non AC) dengan tarif Rp 168.194 /penumpang dan Rp 8.712.239.580 /tahun (bus AC+Toilet) dengan tarif Rp 229.173 /penumpang. Besar nilai WTP bus Non AC Rp 185.000 /penumpang dan AC+Toilet Rp 245.000 /penumpang. Tanggapan terhadap tarif bus AKAP Non AC Rp 175.000 /penumpang dan AC+Toilet Rp 235.000 /penumpang adalah harga tarif bus  sesuai dengan kemampuan penumpang membayar dan mau membayar lebih dengan syarat adanya penambahan pelayanan dan fasilitas.Kata Kunci: Bus AKAP, Biaya Operasional Kendaraan (BOK), Willingness To Pay (WTP)banjarmasin city is the capital of the province of South Borneo with a wide range of activities. One of the public transportation of Banjarmasin city is the bus AKAP (Inter-City Inter Province) PO. Pulau Indah Jaya which serves passenger transportation with a city and provincial destinations. Transportation facilities have a fee that is determined based on Vehicle Operating Costs (VOC). The purpose of this study is to find out the size of the bus AKAP VOC with the Pacific Consultant International (PCI) method and to find out the number of tariffs desired by passengers along with responses to the current rates of Willingness To Pay (WTP).This research was conducted through interview surveys for VOC to PO. parties and bus drivers with data on 25 bus units and for WTP interview surveys with a sample of 200 bus passengers at the terminal KM 6 places to buy bus tickets.VOC amount issued by PO. Pulau Indah Jaya Rp. 8.137.912.279 /year (Non AC buses) with a tariff of Rp 168.194 /passenger and Rp. 8.712.239.580 /year (AC + Toilet bus) at a rate of Rp. 229.173 /passenger. The value of the Non AC WTP bus is Rp. 185.000 /passenger and the AC + Toilet Rp. 245.000 /passenger. The response to the AKAP Non AC bus fare of Rp. 175.000 /passenger and AC + Toilet Rp. 235.000 /passenger is the price of the bus fare according to the ability of the passengers to pay and pay more on the condition of additional services and facilities.Keywords: Bus AKAP, Vehicle Operating Costs (VOC), willingness to pay (WTP)
