In July of 2012, the President signed into law the bill, “Moving Ahead for Progress in the 21st Century” or MAP21, also known as the Surface Transportation Act. The Act instructs the Secretary of Transportation to promulgate regulations requiring the use of electronic on-board recording devices (EOBRs) to verify hours of service compliance by commercial motor vehicle drivers. The mandate has drawn opposition from many drivers and trade organizations, while simultaneously drawing support from government, union organizations and other trade organizations. Consequently, it appears that the EOBR mandate will continue to be a source of potential conflict for management and commercial motor vehicle drivers in some transportation organizations. This case study analyzes some of the factors involved and proposes recommendations for the mitigation of potential workplace conflict.

The auction process is regulated in Minister of Finance Regulation Number 27/PMK.06/2016 concerning instructions for conducting the auction. The existence of treatise on the law of auction is certainly essential for the seller and the buyer since it is related to the need for proof of legal ownership of the object being auctioned for both movable and immovable properties. A proof of transfer of ownership of motor-vehicles is in the form of treatise of auction made by auction officials. It serves as a valid sale and purchase deed and as the basis for the title transfer of the auction winner. However, in fact, in Pekanbaru there are still many non-execution auction winners who do not transfer the title based on the auction treatise but instead use receipts. Based on this fact, the researcher formulates the research problems: (1) How is the process of transferring the title of a motor-vehicle through a non-execution auction in Pekanbaru? (2) How is the position of a auction treatise deed  in the process of transferring the name of a motor-vehicle in Pekanbaru? The research method in this study is empirical juridical research. Based on the results of the study: 1) In Pekanbaru, the auction winner transfers the title with the help of the bureau or the used car showroom. The unit and the proof of motor-vehicle ownership are already in the hands of the auction winner, thus transferring the title does not require an auction treatise copy. 2) The auction treatise is the basis for transferring the title / the rights in accordance with the items stated in the auction treatise to the authorized institution. However, in fact, the winner of the motor-vehicle auction does not use the auction treatise in transferring the title. The auction treatises are only used to transfer the title of the government auction, while the terms for the title transfer of the private auction has the same terms as the ordinary trading.

Background and objective: The productivity of fishing in marine waters provides an overview of the level of ability of the fishing gear used by fishermen to obtain optimal fish catches. This study aims to determine the productivity of fishing in locations around the construction of the coal-fired power plant, Jepara Indonesia. Methods: The method used is a descriptive method which is a case study. This research case is about annual marine fishery productivity by calculating Catch Per Unit Effort (CPUE), then predictions are made using simple regression analysis. Results: Based on the results of the study, a positive modeling trend (increase) was obtained for total fishery production, total demersal fishery production, and total pelagic fish production. Conclusion: capture fisheries productivity in Jepara waters is generally quite good and is not affected due to the development of Tanjung Jati coal-fired power plant B-Unit 5 -6. This is because it is not a fishing operation area for fishermen so there is no potential conflict with fishermen. Suggestion: The results of this study can be used by the Government of Jepara Regency in determining sustainable fishing policies and not overfishing

Described is one specific effort to better estimate commercial motor vehicle-related exposure at the state level in order to better determine commercial motor vehicle-related crash rates for state and federal programs. Limitations in the crash and exposure data affect the Federal Motor Carrier Safety Administration and a state’s ability to plan and assess operations and conduct ongoing analyses of program effectiveness. One important limitation has been the lack of reliable estimates of commercial motor vehicle exposure data at the state level. Exposure data, for the purpose of this report, are defined as the number of truck and bus vehicle miles traveled (VMT). Described is the methodology that was developed to calculate adjusted state VMT for commercial vehicles; results are presented for 1999 and 2000. The results support estimation of crash involvement rates for each state and provide exposure data for other analytical studies. The methodology to calculate adjusted state VMT for commercial motor vehicles has resulted in improved information resources in support of all crash analyses. The adjusted state VMT for commercial vehicles supports measurement of program effectiveness and development of countermeasures to promote motor carrier safety. The adjusted state VMT for commercial motor vehicles methodology and the commercial vehicle fatal-crash involvement rate reports enable state and federal agencies to better focus their safety programs and enforcement resources.

Jakarta is one of the most congested cities in the world due to a plethora of motor vehicles used in the city. One of the government actions to address the issue is by implementing Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) as an alternative public transportation mode. However, according to the convenience walking distance standard, the BRT coverage the inhabitant to choose motor vehicle rather than walking. This paper purposes Bike-Sharing as the smart transportation mode to overcome such issue and predict the three potential places to establish sharing-bike stations according to the convenience walking distance standard. In this paper the walking distance is classified into 100 mater range (300 meter, 400 meter and 500 meter) projected using the euclidean distance principle. As the result for 300 meter standard, there are 809 potential bike-sharing stations consist of 164 main stations and 645 feeder stations, while the 400 meter standard needs 541 potential stations with 140 stations serve the BRT station directly and 401 stations as the feeder. Furthemore, with 500 meter standard, 359 stations consist of 131 main stations and 228 feeder stations is needed.

Injuries to pedestrians in collisions with motor vehicles are a significant problem in traffic safety, accounting for about 13% of fatalities, with more than half occurring at night. There are many variables that affect the visibility of pedestrians in darkness such as: the reflectance of their clothing, their position on the roadway, atmospheric conditions, road characteristics, street lighting, motor vehicle headlamps and their aim and alignment; other ambient lighting and background conditions, glare of headlamps of oncoming traffic and from street lamps, the driving environment and activities and performance of the driver. These issues are discussed, the techniques used to make a human factors analysis are described and some are illustrated by a case study of a night, pedestrian collision on a rural road.
