Aim of the project is to reduce the traffic congestion at a particular location in peak hours with the help of Google maps. Google maps, one of the widely used user-friendly app which helps an individual to give an alert of traffic congestion in that particular location in which she is actually going. As a result of this, Google maps will suggest an individual to take an alternative route, as the major route is highly affected by traffic jam. This alternative route suggested by Google maps is a faster route without traffic and help to reach an individual to her destination on time without much delay. For an individual, from different places doesn’t have any clue about the city and at which   locations do traffic exists and continue to persist over a long period of time.

<p class="Abstrak">Banjir merupakan masalah yang terjadi hampir diseluruh kota di Indonesia, tak terkecuali di kota Palembang. Masalah banjir di kota Palembang sudah menjadi masalah yang serius bagi pemerintah kota Palembang. Banjir di kota Palembang terjadi akibat banjir pasang musiman maupun banjir genangan akibat hujan yang sering terjadi di jalanan. Banjir yang terjadi di jalanan, dapat menyebabkan kerusakan terutama kendaraan baik roda dua maupun roda empat. Selain itu banjir juga dapat menyebabkan kemacetan lalu lintas karena kendaraan harus memperlambat kendaraannya agar tidak merusak kendaraan serta tidak menggangu pengendara lain yang melintas. Permasalahan utama dalam penelitian ini adalah tidak adanya aplikasi untuk mengetahui daerah atau jalan mana saja yang berpotensi terjadinya banjir khususnya di kota Palembang. Oleh sebab itu dibutuhkanlah suatu aplikasi dengan memanfaatkan teknologi komunikasi <em>mobile</em> yang dapat memberikan informasi kepada masyarakat, terutama pengguna kendaraan yang sedang berada di jalan agar dapat terhidar dari bencana banjir. Dengan memanfaatkan layanan titik lokasi menggunakan <em>Google Maps</em> dan API, penulis akan membangun sebuah aplikasi berbasis android, yang bertujuan agar dapat memberikan informasi pengguna kendaraan tentang lokasi titik rawan banjir saat terjadi hujan maupun banjir musiman di jalan-jalan kota Palembang, sehingga dapat membantu pengendara menghidari kerusakan kendaraan akibat banjir serta dapat membantu mengurangi kemacetan pada saat terjadinya banjir agar dapat menghemat waktu perjalanan.</p><p class="Abstrak"> </p><p><strong><em>Abstract</em></strong></p><p><em>Flooding is a problem that happens almost throughout the city in Indonesia, no exception in Palembang city. The problem of flooding in the Palembang city has become a serious problem for the Government. Flooding in Palembang occur due to tidal flooding or flood inundation due to seasonal rains that often occur in the streets. The flooding that occurred on the streets, can cause damage especially two-wheel vehicles or four wheel. In addition to flooding can also cause traffic congestion because the vehicles had to slow down their vehicles so as not to damage the vehicle and does not interfere with other riders crossing. The main problem in this research is the lack of application to know which road areas or potential occurrence of flooding especially in Palembang. Therefore it needs an application by making use of mobile communication technology that can provide information to the public, especially users vehicles that are on the way so it can be terhidar from the flood. By utilizing the service point location using Google Maps and API, the author will build an android-based applications, the aim is to be able to provide information about the location of the point of vehicle users prone to flooding in the event of rain or flood seasonal in the streets of the city of Palembang, so you can help motorists avoid vehicle damage due to flooding and can help reduce congestion at the time of the occurrence of flooding in order to save on travel time.</em></p><p class="Judul2"> </p>

Inadequately planned transport systems result to traffic congestion, a challenge that has for long been a thorn in Dar es Salaam, the city most affected in Tanzania. Although traffic congestion has been a major concern in Dar es Salaam, marked reluctance has been noticed in taking measures towards a lasting solution thus, it is of diminutive surprise that limited studies and documentations on the same are in existence. Therefore, this study assesses traffic congestion in Dar es Salaam and particularly its implications for workers’ productivity. Travel time and productivity indexes were established from a sample of 96 workers who used public transport along Morogoro and Mandela Roads. Travel time index (TTI) is the ratio of the average travel time during peak period to the travel time during off-peak period. Findings reveal that TTI was 2.19. Workers spent about 2 times of the average commuting time to work and 3 times of the same commuting from work to their various residences. About 2.5 hours were lost on traffic jam per day and that people worked 1.4 times less than the required time due to traffic congestion. It was further established that in 10 working days, almost 3 days were lost to traffic congestion. Since there are ongoing efforts to improve the transport system through the Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) project, it remains to be seen as to what extent traffic congestion will be reduced. In either case, this study provides a benchmark for comparisons.

Род Acer L. ценен в садово-парковом строительстве для солитерных посадок в парках, на бульварах и аллеях, в массивах, что является, несомненно, актуальным вопросом в условиях засушливой степи. Самое благоприятное сочетание природных компонентов наблюдается в парковых зонах. Лучшие показатели природной комфортности в парках города Ростова-на-Дону отмечены в ПК и О имени В. Черевичкина, имени Октябрьской Революции, имени 1 Мая, Александровский сад (г. Новочеркасск), ПК и О имени Ленина (г. Батайск). Основные дискомфортные условия связаны с зонами загрязнения природной окружающей среды и приходятся на дороги и транспортные магистрали. В г. Ростове-на-Дону – ул. Большая Садовая, в г. Новочеркасске - пр-ты Ермака и Баклановский. В связи с высокой транспортной загруженностью, произрастающие вдоль вышеперечисленных улиц и проспектов Acer pseudoplatanus L. и Acer platanoides L., имеют самый низкий уровень комфортности. В ландшафтной архитектуре важную роль играет декоративная долговечность – сохранность декоративного признака в течение длительного периода времени. За декоративный признак, чаще всего, принимается естественная форма кроны. С возрастом Acer L. не одинаково сохраняют декоративную долговечность формы кроны. По результатам наблюдений A. platanoides L. и A. pseudoplatanus L. при отсутствии затенения сохраняют естественную форму кроны до 50 - 60 лет. Они отнесены к 1 группе декоративной долговечности. A. saccharinum L. хорошо сохраняет форму кроны более 30 лет и отнесен ко 2 группе декоративной долговечности. Species of the genus Acer L. are valued in garden and Park construction, for single planting in parks and on boulevards, in massifs, as well as for creating shady alleys, which is undoubtedly a topical issue in arid steppe conditions. The most favorable combination of natural components is observed in Park areas. The best indicators of natural comfort in the parks of the city of Rostov-on-don are noted in the PC and O im. Revolution, may 1, im. Viti cherevichkina, in the city of Bataysk in PC and O im. Lenin, in the city of Novocherkassk-Alexander garden. Uncomfortable conditions are associated with areas of pollution of the natural environment. These are mainly roads and transport interchanges. Bolshaya Sadovaya street (Rostov-on-don), Yermak Ave. and Baklanovsky Ave. (Novocherkassk), where Acer pseudoplatanus L. and Acer platanoides L. grow according to our research, have the lowest level of comfort, due to high traffic congestion. In landscape architecture, decorative durability plays an important role – the preservation of a decorative feature for a long period of time. The natural shape of the crown is taken as such a sign. Maples do not equally retain such a basic decorative feature as the shape of the crown with age. Acer platanoidesL. and Acer pseudoplatanus L. according to the results of observations retain the natural shape of the crown in the absence of shading for up to 50-60 years and are assigned to the 1 group of decorative durability. Silver maple retains the shape of the crown well for more than 30 years, so it is assigned to the 2 group of decorative durability.

Widespread use of single-occupancy cars often leads to traffic congestion. Using anonymized traffic speed data from Android phones collected through Google Maps, we investigated whether high-occupancy vehicle (HOV) policies can combat congestion. We studied Jakarta’s “three-in-one” policy, which required all private cars on two major roads to carry at least three passengers during peak hours. After the policy was abruptly abandoned in April 2016, delays rose from 2.1 to 3.1 minutes per kilometer (min/km) in the morning peak and from 2.8 to 5.3 min/km in the evening peak. The lifting of the policy led to worse traffic throughout the city, even on roads that had never been restricted or at times when restrictions had never been in place. In short, we find that HOV policies can greatly improve traffic conditions.

The rapid development of information and technology, the city of Bandung tourism has also increased. However, tourists who visit the city of Bandung have problems with a limited time when visiting Bandung tourist attractions. Traffic congestion, distance, and the number of tourist destinations are the problems for tourists travel. The optimal route selection is the solution for those problems. Congestion and distance data are processed using the Simple Additive Weighting (SAW) method. Route selection uses the Floyd-Warshall Algorithm. In this study, the selection of the best route gets the smallest weight with a value of 5.127 from the Algorithm process. Based on testing, from two to five tourist attractions get an average calculation time of 3 to 5 seconds. This application is expected to provide optimal solutions for tourists in the selection of tourist travel routes.

The air quality of modern cities is considered an important factor for the quality of life of humans and therefore is being safeguarded by various international organizations, concentrating on the mass concentration of particulate matter (PM) with an aerodynamic diameter less than 10, 2.5 and 1 μm. However, the different physical and anthropogenic processes and activities within the city contribute to the rise of fine (<1 μm) and coarse (>1 μm) particles, directly impacting human health and the environment. In order to monitor certain natural and anthropogenic events, suspecting their significant contribution to PM concentrations, seven different events taking place on the coastal front of the city of Limassol (Cyprus) were on-site monitored using a portable PM instrument; these included both natural (e.g., dust event) and anthropogenic (e.g., cement factory, meat festival, tall building construction, tire factory, traffic jam, dust road) emissions taking place in spring and summer periods. The violations of the limits that were noticed were attributed mainly to the various anthropogenic activities taking place on-site, revealing once more the need for further research and continuous monitoring of air quality.

The City

A city is a complex system that never sleeps; it constantly changes, and its internal mobility (people, vehicles, goods, information, etc.) continues to accelerate and intensify. These changes and mobility vary in terms of the attributes of the city, such as space, time and cultural affiliation, which characterise to some extent how the city functions. Traditional urban studies have successfully modelled the ‘low-frequency city’ and have provided solutions such as urban planning and highway design for long-term urban development. Nevertheless, the existing urban studies and theories are insufficient to model the dynamics of a city’s intense mobility and rapid changes, so they cannot tackle short-term urban problems such as traffic congestion, real-time transport scheduling and resource management. The advent of information and communication technology and big data presents opportunities to model cities with unprecedented resolution. Since 2018, a paradigm shift from modelling the ‘low-frequency city’ to the so-called ‘high-frequency city’ has been introduced, but hardly any research investigated methods to estimate a city’s frequency. This work aims to propose a framework for the identification and analysis of indicators to model and better understand the concept of a high-frequency city in a systematic manner. The methodology for this work was based on a content analysis-based review, taking into account specific criteria to ensure the selection of indicator sets that are consistent with the concept of the frequency of cities. Twenty-two indicators in five groups were selected as indicators for a high-frequency city, and a framework was proposed to assess frequency at both the intra-city and inter-city levels. This work would serve as a pilot study to further illuminate the ways that urban policy and operations can be adjusted to improve the quality of city life in the context of a smart city.

<p>Cycling is a memory of the past for most of us, the lack of support from the authorities on the cycling infrastructure made it difficult to attract people to cycle in the city. Urban sprawl, traffic congestion, car dependency, environmental pollution and public health concerns have pressured cities around the world to consider reintegrating cycling into the urban environment.  Design as a research method was utilised to investigate the effectiveness of design methodology and workflow for cycling infrastructure from an architecture and design perspective. Using Wellington City as a design case study, this research aimed to improve the legibility, usability and the image of cycling as a mode of transport in the city. To achieve this, a customisable graphical design framework and branding strategies were developed to structure and organise the design components within cycling infrastructure. The findings from the iterative design processes were visualised through the appropriate architectural and presentation conventions.  This research provided an unique architectural perspectives on the issues of cycling infrastructure; the results would support the transportation advisers and urban planners to further the development and integration of cycling, as a viable mode of transport, within the city.</p>

With the continuous expansion of urban scale, blindly increasing or controlling transportation infrastructure possibly creates a short board in an urban system. In this study, a macro traffic integrated system was constructed according to a city's economic size distribution and transportation infrastructure. The planning strategy of traffic, industry, space interaction and coordinated development was put forward. Through theoretical model, the evolution mechanism between transportation infrastructure and economic scale distribution was revealed. Starting from the center of the city and inter city level, China's new urbanization strategy was implemented, and a comprehensive transportation system model was built. The traffic planning in Singapore was taken as an example, and the solution to traffic problems such as congestion, traffic jam, and distance was obtained. Practice has proved that the rational and effective urban transportation infrastructure construction can effectively promote the coordinated development of economy and resources, and comprehensively enhance the level of integrated transport services.
