SIAP YIA: AN AIRPORT PAVEMENT INFORMATION SYSTEM FOR AIRPORT PAVEMENT DATA STORAGE

Suci Ryski Nur Afriyani — 2025-06-13

The information system for storing pavement data at the airport remains manual and is currently focused on a single device. This study aims to design a website-based application for storing pavement data at the airport. With this application, it is expected to improve the service of the airport facilities unit. The data used in this study is pavement data from Yogyakarta International Airport. This study employs the Research and Development (R&D) method, utilizing the Waterfall model for the second stage, specifically the design stage, with planning tools that include flowcharts and use case diagrams. The design of this application also uses the App Sheet website using simple coding. Additionally, this application is compatible with various platforms, making it more flexible for use anywhere and at any time online. Of course, with this application, pavement data storage can be computerized properly, and it features a database that helps reduce the accumulation of documents and prevent the loss of documents in other files.

PLANNING TO OPTIMIZE CONDENSATION WATER FOR CLEAN WATER NEEDS AT THE AIRPORT

Akbar Nopriansyah Saputra — 2025-06-13

Condensation water from air conditioning can be used as an alternative water source because it still contains few minerals, has a low temperature, and maintains quality. However, until now, this condensation water has not been utilized for airport operational activities. This water could be used to water plants that have previously used up 5,000 liters of clean water. This research aims to design a water tank or reservoir for condensation water so that it is easy to distribute. The Research and Development method (R&D) using the 4D Model starts with definition (define), planning (design), development (develop), and dissemination (disseminate) limited to the design stage. The results of this study are presented in the form of a 3-dimensional design plan for a 50,000-liter condensation water storage system, equipped with a piping system, control tank, and pump to distribute the water. This study has received design validation from material experts and supervisors of the airport's mechanical unit. The validation results indicate a functional aspect assessment value of 77.5% (Good) and a quality aspect of 82% (Good), suggesting that further tank maintenance systems should be considered. Based on this assessment, the design of the condensation water optimization plan is deemed feasible for implementation.

TECHNICAL DESIGN OF ELECTRIC BICYCLES AS OPERATIONAL AIDS IN THE AIRPORT FACILITY MAINTENANCE

M Indra Martadinata — 2024-06-13

Airports, as the main gateway to air transportation in Indonesia, are increasingly expected to implement environmentally friendly practices, one of which includes the use of electric vehicles to support operational activities. This research aims to design the technical specifications of an electric bicycle as a tool for operational maintenance at airport facilities. The method employed is Research and Development (R&D) using the ADDIE model, supported by a literature review and simulation using SolidWorks 2021. The bicycle is designed with a simple, mild steel frame, a 350-watt BLDC motor, and a 48V 15Ah lithium-ion battery, with a payload capacity of up to 100 kg. Structural analysis using the Finite Element Method (FEM) shows that the design is structurally safe, with Von Mises stress and strain values remaining below the material's yield strength. The safety factor also indicates high structural reliability. The novelty of this study lies in the integration of FEM-based structural design with airport-specific operational requirements, thereby filling a gap in prior research that has primarily focused on general e-bike performance without consideration for the specific context of airport maintenance. With an estimated construction cost of IDR 8 million, the design presents a low-emission, cost-effective solution to support sustainable airport operations.
