Integrating Automatic Arm Lifting Systems to Minimize Wire Broom Damage in Electric Road Sweepers
Electric road sweepers often face damage to wire broom components due to manual operation errors, particularly when navigating obstacles like speed bumps. To mitigate this, an automatic arm lifting system using proximity sensors was developed to enhance efficiency and extend broom lifespan. This study focused on designing the wiring, determining optimal sensor detection distances, and assessing sensor angle inclinations for an electric road sweeper prototype. Functional testing determined that Sensor A should be placed 60 cm from the wire broom with a tilt angle of 42.2Ëš, a distance of 2936 mm to the ground, and 2800 mm to the object for lifting commands. For Sensor B, the lowering command requires a tilt angle of 49.4Ëš, a distance of 20 cm from the wire broom, 2692 mm to the ground, and 2200 mm to the object. These settings ensure the system effectively lifts the sweeper arm over obstacles, enhancing both efficiency and durability. The findings demonstrate the potential for advanced sensor technology to improve urban cleaning equipment and support sustainable city maintenance practices

PEMANFAATAN SURVEI GEOLISTRIK DAN GEOTEKNIK UNTUK IDENTIFIKASI STRUKTUR BAWAH PERMUKAAN RENCANA JALAN LINGKAR POLITEKNIK PERTANIAN NEGERI SAMARINDA
Soil conditions with weak zone points can cause damage to road structures such asland subsidence. Geoelectric surveys can identify subsurface structures based onvariations in rock resistivity. Road infrastructure crash due to weak zones of soilbearing capacity can be identified by geoelectric surveys and geotechnical tests assupporting analysis. Based on the master plan of Politani Samarinda 2025-2029 inthe southern area, a ring road of ± 1.5 km will be built, so geoelectric andgeotechnical support data are first needed as a basis for road planning. The mainobjective of this study is to mapping subsurface structure and identify the stability ofthe strong and weak zones of the soil in the planned area of the ring roadconstruction. The geoelectric resistivity survey uses the Wenner Schlumbergerconfiguration with 2 longitudinal tracks of ± 100 m per track with a spacing (a) of 5m which can identify the distribution of subsurface resistivity values laterallymapping.The resistivity value obtained from 2D geoelectric inversion is the lowestvalue of 2.62 ohm.m which is suspected as clay, medium 78.5 ohm.m which issuspected as sand, and the highest 7716 ohm.m which is suspected as sandstoneand used as a reference in the strong zone of the road building foundation.Furthermore, the USCS classification geotechnical test at 2 track points resulted insand (SM) and silt clay (MH) soil types based on mechanical laboratory tests. Theresults of the identification of geoelectric surveys and geotechnical tests have asignificant correlation with road construction that has a potential strong zonebearing capacity because the top soil is in the form of silt, clay, sand which isunderneath in the form of sandstone which is strong enough to withstand the load ofroad construction

his study explores the impact of changes in the Manual for Pavement Design (MDPJ) from the 2017 edition to the 2024 edition, published by the Directorate General of Highways (DJBM) in May 2024, using the same secondary data as a comparative approach. The secondary data used in this research is from the Prambanan ”“ Piyungan road section in 2023. This exploration is considered crucial to identify how modifications in the latest design guidelines may influence the final outcomes in road planning, particularly in pavement performance.Using the KENPAVE program, the performance comparison between the two pavement designs is assessed based on predicted vulnerability levels to rutting (Nr), fatigue cracking (Nf), and permanent deformation (Nd). The first predicted failure value is then selected and used as a reference in this study. The comparative analysis results (based on the current study”™s secondary data) indicate that pavement design based on MDPJ 2024 has a lower vulnerability value than MDPJ 2017, with a percentage difference of 5.5%. This study confirms that the updates in the latest design guidelines contribute to improving pavement performance. The findings of this research are expected to support the effective and sustainable implementation of MDPJ 2024 in Indonesia
OPTIMALISASI KANDUNGAN KAPUR PADA MATERIAL ORGANIK UNTUK MENINGKATKAN KUAT GESER TANAH
The main problems with soft soils are high moisture content, low soil mineral content, and high compressibility. The use of bacteria from organic materials to form lime compounds as adhesives in soft clay stabilisation has not been done. So this research is intended to improve the soil by stabilising soft clay soil with bacteria in organic materials.The method used in this research is experimental method. Variations of soybean powder mixture (organic material) used were 5 g/L, 10 g/L, 20 g/L, 30 g/L, and 40 g/L with reagent concentration of 1 mol/L. Furthermore, CBR (California Bearing Ratio) test specimens and Unconfine compressive test (UCS) specimens were made to determine the effect of the addition of lime compounds on soil strength. The concentration of 30 g/L produces optimum lime deposits. This is in line with the results of SEM and XRD tests. The UCS test showed that the soil cemented with lime produced the optimum shear strength at 14 days of curing, with a free press of 86.39 kPa. While for a period of more than 14 days the increase in the value of free compressive strength is relatively very small
