Freight transportation has an essential role in connecting supply and demand that are spread geographically, which impacts the region’s economic. In an archipelagic country like, Indonesia, freight transportation ideally involves more than one mode or multimodal transport. Currently, the development of transportation infrastructure networks is not yet integrated and lacks a multimodal perspective. Meanwhile, many stakeholders or actors involved in the freight transport sector also increase the complexity of multimodal network planning. From the government perspective, each transportation sub-sectors, primarily based on the mode, has its planning and lacks integration, particularly in multimodal transport. This paper proposes the integrated strategic planning model of a multimodal freight transport network. It emphasizes how to attain the optimum benefit which represents the efficient value in the freight transport system. The model’s objective is to minimize the total distribution cost of the whole system by using the budget limitation of the transportation infrastructure’s total investment, operational and maintenance cost. The budget limitation constraint indeed represents the role of the government to arrange the budget for the transportation sub-sector. The results showed that this model can select the best scenario of infrastructure development from the perspective of multimodal transport rather than unimodal. The proposed model can be used to integrate the planning of the transportation sub-sector

Environmental disasters can maliciously affect the property, human lives and entire ecosystems. The magnitude and extent of such a disaster can lead to uncertainty about the measurement and the extent of liability, and how the restoration of the environmental damage will be achieved. Oil spills from tanker vessels constitute the most severe threat to the local and global ecosystem in the shipping industry. when an oil spill incident emerges, it usually spreads rapidly, leading to massive disasters in the local aquatic ecosystem and human property without prompt treatment. This paper assesses the famous accident of Exxon Valdez: (i) to identify and measure the effect of each contributing factor to the accident, (ii) to determine the best solutions to minimise such risks in the future with the implementation of failure mode effect analysis in conjunction with the doctrinal method and at the same time (iii) to propose a new method of accident assessment by combining the doctrinal method with a variation of a well-known risk assessment method.

This research aims to determine the initial stage of the process series and estimate the level of travelers’ desire from Padang to other cities on the Sumatra Island using the trans-Sumatra railway transportation mode planned by the government to operate in 2024. Due to the enormous cost of development investment, data was obtained by observing potential users through a preliminary survey and by distributing questionnaires to residents of Padang city. This was carried out to determine the public’s interest in the railway mode, which has been served by flexible transportation modes, such as Inter-City Inter-Provincial buses and planes. Furthermore, the analytical method was used to determine whether the community wants to use the trans Sumatra rail mode and the implementation of new services to integrate with a Seamless system in train operations. Studies have not been previously conducted on a Seamless door-to-door service. The result showed a need for new service attributes in the rail transportation mode by making the train flexible with door-to-door service and the implementation of a Seamless Service with 1 ticket.

Globally, communities are committing to reduce the risks arising from different types of events. According to the classical formulation, risk comprehends occurrence and magnitude related to the potential damages produced by the event. Magnitude comprehends two components: exposure and vulnerability. It is possible to define specific actions for pursuing risk reduction according to the emergency management cycle and its phases (prevention, preparedness, response and recovery). This paper focuses on the preparedness phase and the transport planning process at the urban level. The process produces decisions about the configuration of the transport system and its components (supply, demand and interactions). Generally, planning decisions concern ordinary conditions but they have to be defined considering also implications for extraordinary situations. The objective of this paper is to present different issues of urban transport planning, one for each risk component. A single emergency event and the relative urban planning activities have been selected. The selected event represents a category of disasters with effects to be reduced with specific planned activities. The issues represent different problems and relative solutions to increase preparedness for emergency events at the urban level with a correct approach to risk assessment for supporting urban transport planning. The paper contributes to clarifying the characteristics of the risk’s components and relative urban transport planning activities aimed at reducing risk.

The excessive number of passengers at Adisutjipto Airport, Yogyakarta, Indonesia over the airport capacity has urged the government to relocate the airport to Yogyakarta International Airport (YIA) in Kulon Progo, which is located in two hour’s drive from the city of Yogyakarta, Indonesia. Such great distance certainly necessitates a mode of transportation to enable the movement of passengers to and from YIA. On this basis, this research aims to create an intermodal passenger transport planning, including routes, the necessary number of ways and financial feasibility for ease of transport to and from the new airport. This research used transportation planning method based on route analysis of potential transportation demand. The study was conducted by an interview survey of 1,000 respondents of air transport passengers at Adisutjipto Airport. The results of the survey were analysed in terms of the potential demand, trip distribution, route network and transportation need and financial feasibility. The study revealed that there were two provinces with high potential demand for airport development, namely the Province of the Special Region of Yogyakarta (72.80%) and the province of central Java (27.20%). It was predicted that the airport will serve 5,070 number of passengers/day. Eight routes were found to be very potential and will require 46 vehicles to serve the number of passengers, including the spare. Financial feasibility shows a net benefit value (NPV) of 128.397,296,609 (NPV>0), financial interest rate return of 18.23% (FIRR > bank interest) and benefit-cost ratio (BCR) 1.4625 (BCR>1), indicating that this planning project is feasible to implement.

The transport system has a crucial role in economic and social processes. In emergency conditions, a resilient infrastructure has to keep supply chains active through mobilising people and goods. Accordingly, administrations are increasingly using tools such as decision support systems to assist decisionmakers through the evolution of crisis phenomena. The most modern decision support systems will have a modular structure, where acquisition and analysis layers must be recursive. Moreover, innovative solutions let to employ a wide range of data acquired through information and communication technologies and sources of information provided by volunteers. This trend makes real-time information and monitoring a cornerstone to allow decision-makers to implement plans considering the transport system’s current conditions and the emergency phases. Thus, the present paper aims to provide a brief critical analysis of the approaches and models developed, highlighting the progress made and their limitations. Finally, the proposal for a general and flexible architecture is outlined; it allows the public administration to approach emergencies by extending the decision-making phases to the various professionals involved in the resolution for a specific instance, thus evaluating the system’s optimum solutions in managing: the evacuation process; resources allocation and displacement.

Mobility measures have an influential impact on urban social sustainability. This has not been investigated enough in the recent urban waterfront redevelopment projects in United Arab Emirates (UAE). This research aims at first initiating an assessment method for the mobility measures on both the morphological/urban form and urban design levels. Then, it aims at applying this assessment method on Mina Zayed (Zayed Port) waterfront urban regeneration project in Abu Dhabi, as a selected case study. The assessment method relied on an established theoretical framework that defined the principles and indicators of both the mobility morphological measures including Compactness and Density, Mixed-Use Development, Accessibility, and Mobility Networks Connectivity and Integration on the one hand, and the urban design mobility measures including Comfort and Livability, Environmental Quality, Safety and Security on the other hand. The utilized qualitative/quantitative tools of the adopted Case Study method encompassed the expert analysis of the CAD design drawings, Space Syntax Theory application through the DepthmapX simulation variables of Step Depth, Choice and Integration. The initiated assessment method managed to reveal the challenges and potentials of the investigated mobility measures in the analyzed case study. Based on these outcomes, a set of enhancement strategies for mobility measures on both morphological scale and urban design scale has been recommended. These included, among other measures, improving the infrastructure for non-motorized modes of mobility, enhancing mixed land-use of the design, having a more integrated mobility grid and improving accessibility. The research findings proved the validity of the applied assessment method, with its relevant investigation tools, makes it a legitimate revising method for the waterfront urban regeneration designs in the UAE, and in other countries in the region to help significantly enhance the attainment of social sustainability in waterfront urban regeneration projects.
