Penentuan Prioritas Perawatan Berdasarkan Hasil Track Quality Index (TQI) Jalur Kereta Api Antara Stasiun Semarang Poncol – Stasiun Alastua

PT. Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) has a measuring train that is used to determine the condition of the railroad tracks. The output of measuring train is a railroad quality value called the TQI (Track Quality Index). The TQI value can used to determine priority rail road maintenance. This study aims to determine the TQI category of the railroad between Semarang Poncol - Alastua, then determine improvement priorities and maintenance programs. The results of the analysis of the Semarang Poncol-Alastua cross-section railway data have an average category II for 20 < TQI ≤ 35. For priority treatment based on the results of the first point TQI on the SMT-ATA upstream track KM 0+156/188 Type Device LK (arch) with a TQI value of 48.1 categories III with an alert condition, an immediate corrective action program and track laying. Downstream track ATA-SMT KM 1+993/975 with a TQI value of 48.1 categories III with an alert condition, an immediate corrective action program and for the type of repair is track laying.

Work behavior analysis using do it method on the daily check officers at the locomotive depot of operation area VI Yogyakarta, Indonesian railway company

Background: One of the efforts to reduce accidents is to use the Do It method. Work accidents caused by incorrect work behavior. One of the theories used for the ABC theory uses the Do It method to perform maintenance. The purpose of this study is to determine the behavior of workers in the Daily Check section at the Locomotive Depo PT. Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) Operation Area VI Yogyakarta using the Do It method. Method: This type of research is qualitative research.

Judging from the predetermined and observed behavioral targets, the safety briefing activities have a percentage of 90% behavioral status, 62,5% percentage of Personal Protective Equipment (PPE) use behavior, and 94,2% percentage of compliance procedures. Conclusion: The behavior status of workers in the Daily Check section officer behaves safely. Behavioral targets and observations were carried out namely safety briefing activities, PPE use behavior, and compliance with work procedures.

Rearranging First-In First-Out (FIFO) Parts Layouts

Surabaya locomotive warehouse is one part of the company PT. Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) as a place to store spare parts for repair and maintenance purposes, especially locomotives. The implementation of these inspections and repairs, of course, requires spare parts to facilitate the maintenance process which generally spare parts are placed in storage or warehouses. The problem in the Surabaya locomotive warehouse is that the arrangement of spare parts for bin boxes for each type of group is not always fixed so that the search becomes a bit hampered. This study aims to review the repair of bin box spare parts placement on a regular basis by using the First-In First-Out (FIFO) approach to sort bin box spare parts based on their movement flow. Based on the results of the analysis, the classification of bin boxes in each type of spare parts rack group based on the flow of movement in sequence is fast moving, medium moving, and slow moving. In the fast moving spare parts bin boxes are placed on the bottom row of shelves, bin boxes that have medium moving spare parts are placed on the second and third rows of shelves. Meanwhile, bin boxes that have slow-moving spare parts will be placed on the top shelf. After classifying the spare parts in the bin box, an addressing area is made on each row of the rack to determine the location of the spare part position.

Prediction model for the maintenance of rail infrastructure in Java

Maintenance is the most prolonged phase after constructing a railway track is completed and operated. The initial indication of the need for railway track maintenance can be seen from the track quality index (TQI) value. Maintenance of railway tracks can be based on the TQI data category, which is a track superelevation, leveling, lining, and gauge width with TQI categories ranging from very good, good, fair, and poor. In the existing condition, only one-track measurement train, the EM-120, is owned by PT Kereta Api Indonesia (Persero) operates on the island of Java, so there are still railway tracks that still need to be measured by track measurement trains and require a TQI value. Implementing the TQI categorization is necessary for maintenance; hence a comprehensive study is essential to monitor and track the advancement of the research. This paper will map the literature on railway track maintenance, TQI, and prediction models. The literature database was taken from Google Scholar and analyzed using the VOS viewer tool with a mapping of previous research. The results of this research are highly useful in understanding the current development of railway track maintenance research; however, a study has yet to be identified that predicts the TQI category for railway tracks that have not been surveyed by track measurement trains.

Effect of compression molding temperature on the characterization of asbestos-free composite friction materials for railway applications

<abstract> <p>Brake pads significantly affect the braking performance of railways under both normal and emergency operating conditions. In previous studies, brake pads were made using the hand lay-up method and produced the best properties on specimens with epoxy, rice husk, Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> and Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> compositions of 50%, 20%, 15% and 15%. However, the resulting density does not meet the density standard set by PT Industri Kereta Api Indonesia (PT INKA), which is 1.7–2.4 g/cm<sup>3</sup>. To date, there has been limited research into the utilization of the compression hot molding method for the production of asbestos-free composite friction materials composed of epoxy, rice husk, Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> and Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> for railway applications. In this study, we aimed to determine the effect of compression molding temperature on the characterization of composite brake pads for railway applications. The brake pad specimens were made of epoxy resin, rice husk, Al<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> and Fe<sub>2</sub>O<sub>3</sub> with a composition of 50%, 20%, 15% and 15%, respectively. The manufacture of composites in this study used the compression molding method with a pressure of 20 MPa for 15 min holding time. The mold temperature used were 80, 100, 120 ℃. Density, hardness, tensile, wear, thermal gravimetric analysis (TGA) and differential scanning calorimetry (DSC) tests were performed to evaluate the properties of the specimens obtained. The results demonstrated that an increase in molding temperature improved the characterization of the brake pads, with the best results achieved at a molding temperature of 120 ℃ (SP-3 specimen). SP-3 specimens had the best density, hardness, tensile properties and thermal properties compared to other specimens.</p> </abstract>
