    Efficient Autonomous Road Vehicles Local Path Planning Strategy in Dynamic Urban Environment Using Rrt-Acs, Bi-Directional Rule Templates, and Configuration Time-Space

    Authors: Muhammad Aria Rajasa Pohan, Jana Utama

    Abstract

    This study aims to present an effective local path-planning strategy for Autonomous Vehicles (AVs) operating in a dynamic urban environment. The method combines bi-directional rule templates, configuration time-space, and RRT-ACS algorithm (hybridization of rapidly exploring random tree star with ant colony system). The use of RRT-ACS accelerates the convergence of feasible pathway planning. Path quality is improved using bi-directional rule templates derived from dynamic urban environment traffic scenarios and combining the RRT-ACS algorithm with configuration time-space. The resulting technique, RRT+BRT+CTS (RRT-ACS with two-way rule template and configuration space-time), emerged as a major research breakthrough. Several simulations of dynamic urban environmental conditions are used to validate the effectiveness of the RRT+BRT+CTS. Comparisons were made with two well-known path-planning algorithms used in dynamic urban environments: Fast RRT and Closed Loop RRT (CL-RRT). The simulation results demonstrate the superior performance of the proposed strategy for local path planning in dynamic environments regarding speed and efficiency for AVs. As a result, the proposed strategy is a suitable choice for addressing the complex challenges of Avs’s urban navigation. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.

    Authors: Graha Noviana, Agus Rahayu, Ratih Hurriyati, Lili A. D. I. Wibowo, Erwin Yulianto, Rizky Jumansyah

    Abstract

    Research still does not frequently use the concept of value creation through the application of big data analytics. Additionally, the internet serves as a limitless supply of knowledge that comes from different people all over the world and is delivered in a variety of ways, including text documents, photos, audio files, and video. Search engine is a tool used to find different types of information on the internet. The issue that frequently occurs when looking for information online is that the search results for the intended subject are frequently unrelated to the terms entered. In order to increase the relevance of the data obtained from the search results, the goal of this study is to implement the query expansion approach, which involves reformulating the initial query in order to add several phrases utilizing a thesaurus. The waterfall model was used in conjunction with the Software Development Life Cycle (SDLC) in the research. The results showed that the creation of a document search engine based on an information retrieval system was able to enhance data relevance and the standard of document search outcomes in big data analysis. The recall results are higher due to the usage of query expansion, which allowed for the retrieval of more pertinent documents. It is clear that by adopting this technique, the relevancy of the data in the search system can be improved. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.

    Authors: M. Yani Syafei, Agus Riyanto, Gabriel Sianturi, Hasna Nafisa

    Abstract

    PT. SMC is a filter trading company that involves business processes such as inventory, packing, and delivery. Manual material handling activities in the packing process are considered non-ergonomic and can lead to musculoskeletal disorders. One of the packing process activities is plastic wrapping on crates, in which workers carry 12 kg of plastic rolls around a 120×120×150 cm crate, starting from a bending position and lifting the plastic roll to a standing position. The goal of this study was to analyze and improve the wrapping process in terms of ergonomics and productivity. To assess the condition of activities, the Nordic Body Map and Rapid Entire Body Assessment (REBA) methods were used. In addition, a plastic wrapping tool is designed to help the worker in packing activities, and the Quality Function Deployment (QFD) method was used to develop the design process. According to the results of the nordic body map data, many workers have a complaint of pain in the waist and right hand. Using the REBA assessment for the existing condition was obtained the risk level of the lower position was very high, the risk level of the middle position and the upper position were high, while the output of the wrapping processes was 19 pallets per day. Three tool designs were developed, and the plastic wrapping trolley was selected as the best design. After using tools, the research shows that the plastic wrapping procedure in. PT. SMC is classified as non-ergonomic, causing a high risk of harm to the waist and right hand. By using the quality function deployment approach, a wrapping trolley is chosen to be manufactured, and the end REBA value is 3, indicating a low risk level. Another benefit shows that, there was an increase in manufacturing output specifically from 19 pallets/day to 37 pallets/day. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.

  • Design of Web-Based Land Deed Registry with a Geographical Information System

    Design of Web-Based Land Deed Registry with a Geographical Information System

    Authors: Agis Abhi Rafdhi, Umi Narimawati, Nizar Rabbi Radliya, Lia Warlina

    Abstract

    The needs of the community in completing the administration, especially in the field of land and buildings are quite high. Especially in the land sector, which is never empty of buying and selling transactions. In the process, the community needs to take care of the administration from the village level to the sub-district level to get their land titles. At the sub-district level, which of course covers the area of several villages, it certainly requires a fast process to avoid queues and also tidy up the data as archives if one day it is needed. Cibiru District, which is located in the eastern part of Bandung City, includes 4 (four) urban villages, namely Pasirbiru Village, Cipadung Village, Palasari Village, and Cisurupan Village. With the coverage of the four sub-districts, of course, if there is a land administration process, it requires a system that can properly handle the interaction between sub-district officers and the community. The purpose of this study is to design a Land Deed Submission Information System with the intention of providing two-way services between the communities as users so that they can directly access and participate in the stages. The method used in this study uses qualitative methods by using interview and observation data collection techniques to the object of research, namely the Cibiru District Office. The system development method used is object-oriented with a prototype as a software development method. The results show that with the design of this information system, the problems that have been described previously can be resolved, so that the community can easily monitor the progress of the land deed. The process in the system includes an application for a Sale and Purchase Deed (AJB), site review, and AJB collection. All processes that are usually carried out by visiting the sub-district directly can be facilitated by the existence of this information system which can be accessed via the website by the user and can directly input data and file requirements. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.

  • Odour Pollution Control Using Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Controller

    Odour Pollution Control Using Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Controller

    Authors: Muhammad Aria Rajasa Pohan, Dhiyaa Rifqi Taufiqurrahman, Fernando Sitanggang, Vania Retha Luthfia Fitriani

    Abstract

    This investigation aims to develop an odour reduction system simulation using a Type-2 Fuzzy Logic Controller (T2FLS). T2FLC is a further development of the classic fuzzy logic (Type-1 Fuzzy Logic Controller or T1FLC). Where the membership function of T2FLC is also fuzzy. A test by several references indicates that the performance of T2FLC is better than the T1FLC. The proposed T2FLC is tested and compared to the PID controller and T1FLC. The test is based on simulation using MATLAB and Simulink®. Three attempts are carried out to compare the performance of the three controllers using three different gain (C), time delay (L), and time constant (T) values. This shows that type-2 fuzzy is the most reliable method for magnifying C, L, and T values with rise time = 1.368 seconds, maximum overshoot = 60%, and settling time = 8.989 seconds. © School of Engineering, Taylor’s University.
