September 4, 2024, Automotive Technology Study Program of Poltrada Bali conducted an international Community Service activity by visiting the Malaysian Institute of Road Safety Research (MIROS) PC3 Crash Lab, Tiang Dua, Malacca, Malaysia. This activity aimed to provide in-depth education on the importance of road safety in maintaining the security of international transportation. This activity carried the theme “the cricital role of driving safety in ensuring secure international transport”.

During the event, participants received hands-on training in crash testing, starting with the preparation of human dummies equipped with various sensors on different parts of the body. High-speed cameras were used to accurately capture crash details, and tests were conducted for both side crashes and front crashes.

Participants also had the opportunity to witness live crash test demonstrations, providing insights into the performance of vehicle safety systems. The crash test data is crucial for analyzing potential accident risks and serves as the basis for developing new safety technologies. One innovation resulting from this research is the addition of airbags on the vehicle’s sides, which are considered high-risk areas, aimed at enhancing passenger safety in the future.

Through this event, it is expected that the knowledge gained will contribute to improving safety in international transport, in line with the growing demand for safe and efficient transportation in the era of globalization.

September 4, 2024, the Logistics Management Study Program of Politeknik Transportasi Darat Bali conducted a Community Service activity by visiting the PLUS Traffic Monitoring Centre (TMC) at Persada PLUS, Petaling Jaya, Selangor, Malaysia. This visit aimed to enhance understanding of digital transformation in the logistics sector while also strengthening the role of academia in supporting societal and business development through technological innovation. This activity carried the theme “Digital Transformation in the Logistics Sector: The Key to International Trade Success.

The main focus of the event was on technological innovations involving Artificial Intelligence (AI) introduced to support transportation and logistics safety. One of the key innovations discussed was an AI system capable of identifying individuals at risk of suicide or attempting to jump from bridges. In addition, AI is also being used to detect vehicles exceeding permitted dimensions on the road.

The team from the Traffic Monitoring Centre (TMC) also explained the handling procedures for over-dimension vehicles. These vehicles are fined, and the drivers are issued warnings to comply with vehicle dimension regulations.

In addition to discussing advanced technology, the PKM event also provided education on handling emergencies on highways. The facilities and systems owned by TMC were introduced, including post-accident protocols aimed at ensuring road users’ safety.

It is hoped that through these technological innovations, the “Zero Vision 2030” vision, which focuses on road safety and security, can be achieved. The education provided is expected to raise awareness of the importance of road safety for road users and contribute positively to the development of the international logistics sector.

September 4, 2024, the Road Transportation Management Study Program of Politeknik Transportasi Darat (Poltrada) Bali conducted a Community Service (PkM) activity at the Terminal Bersepadu Selatan (TBS), Malaysia. With the theme “Bali: An Island of Extraordinary Cultures That May Change the Transport System,” this activity aimed to provide education on the operational system of land transportation mode integration and the management strategies applied at TBS, one of the largest integrated transportation hubs in Malaysia.

During this event, participants were introduced to the operational management of TBS, which includes the integration of various land transportation modes such as intercity buses, trains, and taxi services. Additionally, participants learned about the management strategies that enable TBS to operate efficiently, focusing on passenger comfort and safety.

This added valuable insights into the transportation systems in Bali, particularly in tourist areas. Bali, as a tourist destination rich in local wisdom and culture, can inspire the design of sustainable transportation systems, especially in facing the challenges posed by the increasing number of tourists.

It is hoped that this experience will provide new insights and inspire future transportation projects and educational programs. This activity marks an important step in preparing the younger generation to face global transportation challenges and to create a better and more sustainable transportation system in the future.
