Intelligent Transport System in Japan.

Driving a car on the streets of Tokyo, Japan, even if you’re a beginner can quickly familiar with the road conditions. Through the intersection at the top of the red and green panels display information, you can always learn from point A to point B between the running time, speed, block length. Through radio and street-side car radio you can find information on various crossroads. If you install the car terminal, the information will be automatically converted to text. You can also phone the main road about traffic congestion, traffic accidents, restrictions on vehicle access, traffic control and so forth. The collection of accurate and precise information, processing and transmission can not be separated from the Intelligent Transport System in Japan.

Good framework for rapid development has brought

Japan in January 1994 has been governed by the National Police Agency, International Trade and Industry, Transport, Posts and Telecommunications, Ministry of Construction to support the five departments of the “intelligent road transport vehicle for promoting the Association (VERTIS)”, aims to promote Japan In the field of technology ITS, product research, development and socialization and implementation. VERTIS next 30 years to determine the objectives are: to the existing road traffic deaths by 50%, to eliminate traffic congestion, reducing vehicle fuel consumption and exhaust emissions. Japan’s new transport system is key to Japan’s intelligent transportation is one of the “central traffic control integrated framework of ITS in Japan” under the guidance of the system design with high performance core and 10 sub-system components.

Level of Accidents

Current safeguards the existence of motor vehicles in Indonesia still has not been able to reduce the level of accidents on the highway. This caused most of the existing security is to minimize the occurrence of injuries after a crash like the Anti-lock Braking System (ABS), Air Bag (air bag), Electronic Brake Distribution (EBD), Securing a car that will be the choice to drive in the future is a system that uses communication and provide information on the crash site with a mapping of GPS (Global Positioning System) and grown in the mobile system for recording accidents. Use of this system are already many in the market, but because expensive equipment is not all layers of Indonesian society that have a vehicle able to buy these tools.
Therefore required a safety car that is cheaper and can give early warning before the accident in order to reduce the current accident rate increases. Through a sensor device will be known distance between the vehicle which will then provide a response in the form of an alarm as a warning sign or vehicle is automatically stopped in accordance with the distance between vehicles.

Motor Vehicle Accidents

With increasing number of motor vehicle accidents, the level was increased. In 2003, the number of vehicle accidents reached 19 091 units, but a year later increased to 26 187 units or an increase of approximately 37%. These numbers continue to rise until in 2006 reached 70 308 cases of accidents or increased 168% compared to 2004 . This increase is of course fantastic and pertained to the year 2007 the accident rate is increasing in line with the growth in motor vehicle very rapidly. On the other hand vehicle that supports not just the view of its ability to save time, but also how that object was transported safely and undamaged until the desired place. And so we need a safety to minimize these accidents.

Highway Toll Roads Traffic Accidents

Highway Toll Roads are relatively new in Indonesia. Their high standard of design is believed to differentiate their accident characteristic from common road. This thesis aimed to identify accident and safety problem on The Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road. The study was concerned with the classification and analysis of road traffic accidents data on Jakarta-Cikampek Toll Road. They consisted of data from October 1988 up to September 1989 when the section between Cibitung and Cikampek was single-carriageway, and from April 1991 up to March 1992 when the whole length of toll road was completely dual-carriageway. The former is defined as Period I and the latter is Period II.

Compilation using several methods were carried out to obtain the appropriate data that could describe accident and safety problem on this toll road. The Definition for Coding Accidents (DCA) was used to identify the type of accident based on their movement. From data analysis, it is found that in Period I, the accident rate in general were higher in the single-carriageway section than in dual-carriageway operation. Comparison of accident rate between Period I and Period II shows higher accident rate for Period I for total, fatal and serious accidents, especially in single-carriageway section. The most significant factor causing accident on this road in both periods of study were human error i.e. drowse and careless drivers. These were strengthen by other factors i.e. driving at night, straight geometric condition, variation of vehicle speed, high traffic volume; and vehicular factor i.e. tire burst. Single vehicle accidents were the most frequent type of accident.

Reform The Judiciary

Unravel the tangled threads, which are generally more difficult to find the starting point (starting point) bureaucratic reform the judiciary. Moreover, this work becomes heavy when the still high public trust (high Distrust) to the world court. Therefore, in order to reform the bureaucracy can run an effective judiciary, the courts require the attention and full support not only from governments but also from the wider community. Furthermore, if the court can work impartially, with integrity, and justice in deciding the case, then eventually people will automatically understand and accept whatever decision was issued. Meanwhile, a court that applies the principles of openness, accessibility and accountability, of course, will eventually get a high appreciation and trust of the community naturally.

IFCE Based Identification Results

IFCE based identification results, there are at least 7 (seven) major areas that require improvement in the judiciary that will bring positive impacts on the cultural organization of the courts in shaping the values that affect the pattern of exceptional performance. The seven areas can be grouped into three main sections, namely: (1) Court management and leadership as the main controller; (2) Court policies and Human, material and financial resources, as well as Court proceedings as a whole system, and (3) Client needs and satisfaction, and Affordable and accessible court services, and public trust and confidence as the outputs to be produced. Meanwhile, there are at least 11 (eleven) particularism values that must also be built in a judicial institution, namely: equality before the law (equality before the law), justice (fairness), unbiased (impartiality), independence in making decisions (independence of decision-making), skills (competence), honesty (integrity), openness (transparency), accessibility (accessibility), accountability (accountability), timeliness (timeliness), and certainty (certainty).

Excellent Court

Seal of the United States Supreme Court

General guidelines for reform of the bureaucracy has been established by the Ministry of State for Administrative Reform and Bureaucratic Reform (Kemeneg PAN) in the form of nine courses which cover approximately 23 activities. This program can actually serve as the grand design and initial roadmap of improvements in the judicial environment that includes: (1) strategic direction, (2) Management of change, (3) Structuring the system, (4) Structuring the organization, (5) Arrangement governance, (6) Arrangement of human resources management system, (7) Strengthening the organizational unit, (8) The preparation of legislation, and (9) Internal Control.

Completing the bureaucratic reform agenda is not necessarily the same judiciary fully with the bureaucratic reforms in the sector, institutions, or departments in the executive sphere. Nevertheless, general guidelines that already exist can be exploited by way of synergizing the special values that are embedded in the judiciary.

Although there has been no uniformity in shape and judicial reform programs nationally that are in two peaks of judicial power, namely the Supreme Court and Constitutional Court, at least reform the judiciary in Indonesia can be done with reference to the International Framework for Court Excellent (IFCE) ..

BUREAUCRACY REFORM JUDICIARY

a Balance icon

The initial steps in the Year of Tiger this time the world was increasingly hard for law enforcement. Not just because of blurred faces justice clearly recorded in the previous year, but also due to some event of public law which simply snaps lately, luxury cell case, the case Bailout Century, and various legal actions that were considered to be siding with the little people, dipredikasi will be a long prologue which continues to siphon public energy. The old train that brought the agenda of legal reform as though increasingly moves on rails fork, no clear direction, and was impressed reactive. Oddly enough, two weeks before the expiry of one hundred days in government work programs, programs on the sector claimed to have walked polhukham precisely one hundred percent.

Society must not be allowed to drift with the evaluation was impressed how “the politics of lipstick” is, because if its referring to the three main program-Prosperity, democracy, and justice-in fact a lot of things like fire substantively far from baked. Should not be allowed to also program the law of development which has been prepared long been submerged and lost focus due to the many parties who are too busy dancing at the vortex of this tense political dynamics. Call one of the only program of bureaucratic reform in the judiciary is indeed still hobbled.

Admittedly, during the reform of the judiciary is often less bureaucracy to get more attention from policy commitment to the side of budgeting. In fact, this agenda is important to remember the court is the last bastion of justice and law enforcement efforts in the homeland. This brief paper at least trying to attract the public focus back on track as if the law passed.
