Bali’s Mandara toll road

Indonesia Hosts the Region’s Premier Transportation Meeting

Indonesia was the proud host to the 1st IRF Asia Regional Congress & Exhibition, a regional gathering of more than 700 transportation professionals from 52 countries — including Ministers, senior national and local government officials, academics, civil society organizations and industry leaders. The Congress has received the endorsement of 23 supporting organizations.

MAIN FEATURES

• Policy roundtable addressing the sector’s strategic challenges;

• A scientific & technical component, featuring 120 peer-reviewed contributions by leading authors;

• Certified training courses covering road sector reform, performance-based contracts and enforcement;

• An exhibition area representing the best in industry innovation and governmental programs;

• Exciting social and business networking opportunities.

Together with the Ministry of Public Works Indonesia, we chose the theme “Building the Trans-Asia Highway” to bring new emphasis to a visionary project that traces its roots back to 1959. This Congress brought the region’s stakeholders

together to identify new and innovative resources to bridge the current financing gap, while also sharing case studies, best practices and new technologies that can all contribute to making the Trans-Asia Highway a reality.

This Congress was a direct result of the IRF’s strategic vision to become the world’s leading industry knowledge platform to help countries everywhere progress towards safer, cleaner, more resilient and better connected transportation systems. The Congress was also a reflection of Indonesia’s rising global stature.

Already the largest economy in Southeast Asia, Indonesia aims to be one of world’s leading economies, an achievement that will require the continued development of not just its own transportation network, but also that of its neighbors.

Thank you for joining us in Bali for this landmark regional event.

H.E. Eng. Abdullah A. Al-MogbelIRF Chairman

Minister of Transport, Kingdom of Saudi Arabia

1A LANDMARK EVENT

UNDERSTANDING THE ISSUES – AND THE SOLUTIONS

• The competitiveness of Asia’s economies depends on efficient, fast, reliable, and seamless infrastructure connections. Insufficient or inadequate infrastructure—and the resulting congestion—is a growing regional concern. Just keeping pace with projected global GDP growth will trigger an estimated $750 billion per year in infrastructure investment needs – requiring a long term approach and innovative partnerships with the private sector.

• Road traffic injuries kill nearly 1.3 million people a year (including an estimated 42,000 in Indonesia) and are the leading or second leading cause of death among youths and young adults worldwide. In an effort to alter the status quo, a UN Decade of Action for Road Safety was launched on May 11, 2011 supported by 80 countries, with a goal of preventing 5 million road traffic deaths and 50 million serious injuries globally by 2020.

• Lowering the Greenhouse Gas Intensity of new road projects and future transport growth represents a key challenge that will require departure from the “business as usual” policies and industry practices. Moreover, with transport infrastructure increasingly tested by the region’s extreme weather events, highway engineers are being asked to correct vulnerabilities in the existing road network and factor changing weather patterns in the design of new roads.

• There is a growing global consensus regarding the significant benefits of intelligent transport systems (ITS) deployments and their utilization to address major transportation congestion, safety, security and environmental challenges particularly in urban areas. However, many challenges continue to inhibit the successful deployment and sustainability of cost-effective, technically-sound, and locally-appropriate integrated ITS solutions by government agencies, including lack of sustained funding and harmonized standards.

KEY FINDINGS & AGENDA TO 2020

• Greater commitment to Asset Management, at all levels of government, coupled with appropriate incentive and accountability measures will capture better life-cycle economies of infrastructure investment

• A more realistic risk model, with a greater focus on value for money will enable more opportunities for the private sector in infrastructure service delivery

• Embrace the safe system approach and engage political leadership around measures that will reduce road traffic injuries

The Asian Highway Network: an Agenda for Shared Regional Prosperity

Raj KANNANDr. Ishtiaque AHMED

3THE TRANS-ASIA HIGHWAY NETWORK

The Asian Highway network is a regional transport cooperation initiative aimed at enhancing the efficiency and development of the road infrastructure in Asia, supporting the development of Euro-Asia transport link-ages and improving connectivity for landlocked countries.

The Asian Highway network now comprises over 141,000 km of roads passing through 32 member coun-tries. The network extends from Tokyo in the east to Kapikule, Turkey in the west and from Torpynovka , Russian Federation, in the north, to Denpasar, Indonesia in the south.

The Asian Highway project was initiated in 1959 with the aim of promoting the development of an interna-tional road transport system in the region. From 1960 to 1970, potential routes were identified and analysed. However, the progress was slow until political and economic changes in the region spurred renewed interest in the network in the late 1980s and early 1990s.

Some of the major benefits of the Asian Highway Network include:

• Basis for coordinated development of road networks at regional, sub-regional and national levels;

• Interest in greater connectivity at the regional/subregional level which subsequently led to the development of subregional networks;

• Common design and technical standards for highway development for regional roads, which was later adopted by many sub-regional organizations;

• Enhanced domestic and road transport connectivity that has been supporting the growth of national economies and inter-country trade;

• Better negotiating position of Member States to secure financing by development banks as well as to maintain minimum design standards; and

• Greater interest of development banks in financing road projects of regional importance.

6 TRAINING

For more than 50 years, an essential part of the IRF’s mission has been the organization and delivery of training courses around the world that provide continuing professional development for individuals and help make a difference on the ground. The IRF’s certified workshops provide modular training in classroom and practical settings where attendees can learn from and have direct access to seasoned professionals.

November 17 WORKSHOP 1: ROAD SECTOR REFORM

There is no right way to manage a country’s highway network, however in all cases the key drivers need to be efficiency, transparency and accountability. This workshop discussed various organizational forms, including which functions should be centralized or decentralized and the role of governance boards.

November 18 WORKSHOP 2: SAVING LIVES VIA BY DEVELOPING AN EFFECTIVE SPEED ENFORCEMENT STRATEGY

This workshop shared knowledge and experience regarding the development of an effective speed enforcement strategy by addressing these issues and updating delegates with the latest technologies available and the methods of deployment in a data-driven, intelligence-led and performance-managed environment across all classes of road vehicles.

November 19 WORKSHOP 3: PERFORMANCE-BASED CONTRACTS

This workshop included a full-day program of presentations and discussions about Performance-Based Contracts and how they can help road agencies meet their desired outcomes. Participants engaged in discussions with experts actively involved in maintenance contracting and asset management to discuss the application of best practices under different country conditions.

7INNOVATION IN RESEARCH

DR. KAMIL KALOUSHIRF: Many pavements still exhibit shortcomings in terms of durability, road-user qualities, strength and repair needs. What does your research on Fiber Reinforced Asphalt Concrete mixtures tell us on this problem?

Dr. Kamil Kaloush: Our research on fiber reinforced asphalt concrete has shown that it is a cost-effective process and enhances the performance and durability of pavements. We have observed improvements in the engineering properties of asphalt mixtures in the laboratory and by monitoring field constructed projects. Reduced deformation and cracking translates into road-user benefits such as better ride quality, lower maintenance frequencies, and safer roadways.

IRF: What are the most promising technologies Asian governments should be investing in?

Dr. Kaloush: Asian governments need to evaluate their current designs and specifications in view of increased occurrence of future extreme events. They need to have good and accurate data of the road network at hand so it can be used for realistic modeling and forecasting of future impacts. The use of field surveys can also help identify potential risk areas so preventive measures can be evaluated and implemented.

IRF: As a researcher, what is the chief value of presenting your work at an IRF conference?

Dr. Kaloush: The IRF continually emphasizes best practices world-wide; to me as a researcher, the IRF provides a platform by which government agencies, businesses, and researchers are able to work together in addressing world challenges. The chief value is not only in presenting my work, but also in learning from others on how they are tackling problems. Collective minds working together are more powerful in addressing world challenges.

DR. SHOICHI SUZUKIIRF: How has the introduction of “ITS Spot Service” helped Japan’s traffic congestion problem?

Dr. Shoichi Suzuki: Drivers who enjoy the ITS Spot Service can avoid traffic congestion with provided real time road

traffic information via ITS Spot. It has confirmed by satisfaction surveys that the most of users highly evaluate mobility applications of ITS Spot Service. Furthermore, increasing probe data collected by ITS Spots allows road operators to analyze and to take right counter measures against traffic congestion problem. Penetration rate of ITS Spot Service among drivers is not enough yet but it seems very promising tool for road operators to implement scientific PDCA approach against traffic congestion problem.

IRF: Discuss the co-benefits of this technology, such as enabling new services to road users and operators

Dr. Suzuki: Countries who embrace Electronic Toll Collection may also achieve reductions in congestion, accidents, environmental load and even operation and maintenance cost. With this technology users can also enjoy new various value-added-services with a unified onboard unit. The more drivers use the service, the more probe data will be collected, which make road management advanced. It is a win-win situation between toll road users and operators.

IRF: As a researcher, what is the chief value of presenting your work at an IRF conference?

Dr. Suzuki: There are so many challenges on roads. Not only physical counter measures but also soft means employing information and communication technologies will contribute to solve them. I believe our work serves as an informative example for IRF colleagues and countries considering introducing ETC systems

DR. KARLA LECHTENBERGIRF: What are the chief problems with developing safety countermeasures on roads with low traffic volumes?

Dr. Karla Lechtenberg: Guidance for low-volume roads found in the AASHTO Roadside Design Guide was

extrapolated from high-speed and higher-volume design guidelines. Consequently, guidelines for low-traffic volume roads are only loosely based on actual research results and they may be impractical for local road applications due to right-of-way and financial constraints. There is a perception that few cost-effective treatments exist for a reasonable severity reduction.

IRF: What does your research tell us about developing crashworthy treatments on these roads?

Dr. Lechtenberg: This research, at times, indicates that the hazard or non-crashworthy treatment may be better to leave in place instead of leaving the hazard unshielded. In some instances, however, the existing treatment may be more of a hazard than the hazard itself. If crashworthy treatments are economical and they reduce the severity of an impact, the research recommends installing a crashworthy treatment. There may also be opportunities to develop new and less expensive crashworthy treatments specifically for low-volume roads.

IRF: As a researcher, what is the chief value of presenting your work at an IRF conference?

Dr. Lechtenberg: The chief value of presenting my work at an IRF conference is to disseminate the research results to countries and government agencies that may have the need and use for the research and may not have been aware that the research exists. The more that research is presented, the better chance there is of it being able to help save a life.

More than 120 papers were presented in the technical tracks of the 1st IRF Asia Regional Congress. IRF staff met with some of the authors and asked them about the significance of their research work.

12 ABOUT THE IRF

The International Road Federation, established in Washington, D.C. in 1948, is a non-governmental, not-for-profit organization with the mission to encourage and promote development and maintenance of better, safer and more sustainable roads and road networks worldwide. Working together with its members and partners, the IRF promotes the social and economic benefits that flow from well-planned and environmentally-sound road transport networks; it helps put in place technological solutions and management practices that provide maximum economic and social returns from national road investments.

The IRF has a major role to play in all aspects of road policy and development worldwide:

• For governments and financial institutions, the IRF provides a wide base of expertise for planning road development strategy and policy.

• For its members, the IRF is a business network, a link to external institutions and agencies, such as the United Nations and the European Union, and a platform to communicate with and access government officials and decision makers.

• For the community of road professionals, including national road associations, advocacy groups, companies and institutions dedicated to the development of road infrastructure, the IRF provides support and knowledge.

Through the International Road Educational Foundation, the IRF awards grants to graduate engineers and other transportation professionals from around the world in support of full-time academic training. With this, the IRF actively supports future generations of industry leaders.

The International Road Federation also takes pride in honoring and recognizing road-industry projects demonstrating excellence and innovation in road development worldwide, via the Global Road Achievement Awards program. The competition, designed to elicit information on successful projects and programs from leading industry organizations, will draw attention to these leading projects and organizations, providing a road map for others to follow in continuously improving and advancing road development worldwide.

With a wide network spanning 116 countries across six continents, the IRF believes that it can make a difference by providing best practices and expert advice to face today’s multifaceted world of transport.
