“…About one third of national petrol consumption was imported and subsidized [2]. Meanwhile, Morichi [3] suggested the cruise speed on particular road sections in Indonesia is not more than 20 Km/hour representing severe congestion level due to considerable unbalance growth rate between road length and automobile-about under 3% and above 10% respectively [4,5]. These figures and trends must be controlled so that further negative impacts of road traffic could be minimized due to its outcomes towards a country economic.…”

Although car usage is admitted to improve the efficiency of travel and productivity, it is also blamed for the widespread problems in urban areas. It demands an increasing space for road as well as for parking, especially within Central Business District (CBD). Due to budget constraints and also to minimize the negative impacts of road traffic such as fossil fuel crisis and increasing number of road traffic accidents-parking control becomes essential. This study attempts to define the parking behaviour of motorists such as parking cost and duration, parking location distance, as well as pricing systems with a case study in Padang City, Indonesia. The findings from this study are expected could help the government in developing suitable parking controls inside the CBD and hence could contribute to minimizing the negative impacts of road transports. In addition, the government may also encourage the usage of public transports instead of private cars by using the recommended parking controls generated from this research. This is considerably important, especially for a country where a great amount of national petrol consumption are imported from overseas and mostly spent by private car and logistic transport.

“…2,7 The result of this study might be due to the significant growth of motor vehicles each year in Indonesia. 8 In contrary, the incidence of HI caused by RTAs has been replaced by falls as the main cause of HI in Sweden over time due to the success of preventive strategies and public safety measures for RTAs according to a study in Sweden. 9 The second highest cause is falls (22%), which is similar to a study in United Arab Emirates, where falls is also the second highest cause of HI.…”

Background: The study aimed to describe the causes of head injury (HI) in Rumah Sakit Hasan Sadikin Bandung with the considerations of gender, age and the severity of HI.Methods: This was a descriptive retrospective study. The study subjects were HI patients in Department of Neurosurgery of Dr. Hasan Sadikin General Hospital Bandung in 2015. Consecutive sampling was used with minimum sample size of 97 patients. The variables of the study were patients’ characteristics, causes of head injury, and types of road traffic accidents in HI patients. The data were collected from medical records.Results: Road traffic accidents (RTAs) contributed to 70.3% mild HI, 77.2% moderate HI, and 100% severe HI and it was the highest cause of HI (73%). Two-wheelers motor vehicle contributed to 62.5% mild HI, 75% moderate HI, and 66.7 severe HI and it was the highest cause of RTAs (68%). Majority of the HI patients were male (57%). The highest number of HI was 18-45 years old.Conclusions: RTAs is the main mechanism of HI, while two-wheelers motor vehicle is the main cause of RTAs.

“…The number of traffic fatalities in DKI Jakarta increased more than twice from 2000 to 2004, and most of them were caused by the continually increasing motorcycles running in the headachy traffic environment [3]. Moreover, the railway in Jabodetabek was characterized with low transport capacity, delayed schedules, ill-equipped train cars, and even insecurity.…”

“…Simultaneously, the dramatically increasing travel demands in these developing cities, which were in much degree as a result of rapid motorizations, had far exceeded the seriously lagged developments of urban transport infrastructures. For example, the growth rate of urban traffic motorization in Jakarta had reached over 10% per year [3,4] in comparison to the increase of the new roads with an annual increase ratio of less than 1% [3]. Similarly, in Beijing, the increase in motor-vehicles was as 14 times fast as the new roads' [5].…”

Toward the common issue of quick urban sprawls of many cities in developing countries today, this research incorporates the expectation-maximization (EM) algorithm into the feedback application process of a newly developed feedback model to improve the modeling studies of the urban transport prediction and planning for the developments of the cities with their urban areas enlarged in the future. By utilizing the survey data obtained in Jabodetabek metropolitan region of Indonesia in 2002, the study results numerically confirm that the iteratively computational calibrations to the K-factors for the newly urbanized areas of a developing city by employing the EM algorithm in the feedback process can truly improve the validity of the proposed feedback model's application to effectively predict the urban transport developments of developing cities in the future.
