Optimizing Multimodal Freight Transport : Railway–Airport Integration for Sustainable Logistics in Indonesia

2026-04-30T03:55:04+00:00

This study examined the integration of railway infrastructure with airport logistics in Indonesia to improve freight transport efficiency. The objectives were to analyze existing conditions, identify infrastructure and operational needs, assess potential demand for modal shift, and develop an integrated logistics model. A mixed-method approach was used, including cost and time analysis, gravity model, and Analytical Hierarchy Process supported by stakeholder interviews. The results showed that freight transport is still dominated by road, causing high costs, congestion, and environmental impacts. Railway integration can reduce logistics costs by 23.24% and delivery time by 44.6%, with high-potential corridors identified in major regions. Cost, time, and reliability were found to be the main decision factors. The Airport Rail Freight Integrated Hub model is proposed as a phased solution to support efficient and sustainable logistics integration, while also enhancing capacity utilization and strengthening service reliability within the national logistics system.

Optimization of Built Environment and Structural Configuration for Rail-Airport Intermodal Transfer Systems: Evidence from Adi Soemarmo Airport, Surakarta

2026-05-04T06:38:51+00:00

This study aims to evaluate the level of multimodal transport integration between rail services and airport facilities using the Intermodal Seamless Mobility (ISM) approach at Bandar Udara Adi Soemarmo, Indonesia. A quantitative descriptive case study method was employed through field observations and direct measurement of three key indicators: Walking Distance (WD), Transfer Time (TT), and Baggage Friction Index (BFI). These indicators were normalized and synthesized into the Intermodal Seamless Mobility Index (ISMI) to assess the quality of passenger transfer connectivity. The results indicate a Walking Distance of 146 m, Transfer Time of 4 min, and BFI of 0.547. Based on the weighted indicator model, the calculated ISMI value was 0.6697, which falls within the Good Seamless category. This finding suggests that passenger transfer from the railway station to the airport terminal is relatively efficient, convenient, and functionally integrated. However, further improvements are required to achieve the Highly Seamless category, particularly through baggage-handling facilities enhancement, additional travelators, improved wayfinding systems, and stronger intermodal information integration.

Comparative Study of Fixed-Wing and Rotary-Wing Aircraft: A Systematic Literature-Based Analysis of Flight Efficiency, Maneuverability, and Operational Function

2026-03-27T02:38:13+00:00

This study compares fixed-wing and rotary-wing aircraft in terms of flight efficiency, maneuverability, and operational function by addressing the lack of an integrated framework for mission-based aircraft comparison. A systematic literature-based comparative analysis was conducted using aerodynamics textbooks, aviation handbooks, technical references, regulatory documents, and recent scholarly articles. The analysis was structured around three parameters: flight efficiency, including energy consumption, cruising speed, and range; maneuverability, including takeoff and landing capability, hovering, and movement flexibility; and operational function, including mission suitability and operating environment. The findings show that fixed-wing aircraft provide higher cruise efficiency, greater range, and better payload effectiveness because lift is generated through forward motion over fixed airfoils. In contrast, rotary-wing aircraft offer superior maneuverability, vertical takeoff and landing, and hovering capability, making them more suitable for confined-area, emergency, and point-access missions. The novelty of this study lies in its structured analytical matrix, which clarifies the trade-off between cruise efficiency and spatial flexibility. The study concludes that neither aircraft type is universally superior; effectiveness depends on the alignment between aerodynamic characteristics, operational constraints, and mission requirements.

Vocational Awareness, Aspiration, and Career Readiness of Aviation Students in the Industry 5.0 Era

2026-04-23T05:01:34+00:00

The Industry 5.0 paradigm emphasizing human-technology collaboration, sustainability, and resilience demands a reconceptualization of career readiness in vocational aviation education. However, empirical research on how vocational awareness and vocational aspiration jointly shape aviation students' career readiness within this new paradigm remains limited, particularly in the Indonesian context. This quantitative, cross-sectional survey involved 184 aviation students from four academies in Java (sampled from 350 using proportional stratified random sampling). Validated Likert-scale instruments (Cronbach's ? > 0.85) measured all constructs, and data were analyzed using multiple linear regression. The results showed that vocational awareness (? = 0.476, p < 0.001) and vocational aspiration (? = 0.351, p < 0.001) jointly explained 67.3% of the variance in career readiness (R² = 0.673, F = 189.23, p < 0.001), with awareness exerting a significantly stronger effect. Theoretically, this study extends Social Cognitive Career Theory to the Industry 5.0 context; practically, it underscores the urgent need for human-centric industry induction and career guidance programs in aviation academies.

Blended Learning as a Supporter of the Synergy of Academic Guidance and AI Technology in Scientific Writing

2026-05-06T07:10:18+00:00

This study examined students’ perceptions of the integration of blended learning, academic supervision, and artificial intelligence (AI) technologies in the scientific writing process. Employing a qualitative research design, data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and document analysis involving undergraduate students who had participated in academic writing supervision and used AI-based tools. The findings showed that blended learning provided greater flexibility, enhanced self-regulated learning, and improved students’ engagement in academic writing. Students reported that AI tools such as ChatGPT and Grammarly offered instant feedback, assisted in generating ideas, and supported linguistic accuracy, although concerns regarding originality and the need for critical evaluation of AI-generated outputs remained. The integration of AI and blended learning was found to be effective only when it was accompanied by continuous academic supervision. This study concluded that the synergy of the three components created an adaptive and supportive learning ecosystem that significantly improved the structure, coherence, and analytical depth of students’ scientific papers.

Integration of Islamic Boarding School Culture and Project-Based Learning in Strengthening Islamic Character Education for Modern Curriculum

2026-05-07T02:26:28+00:00

This study examined the integration of pesantren cultural values with Project-Based Learning (PjBL) in strengthening Islamic character education in higher education. A qualitative approach was employed involving 20 undergraduate nursing students at Universitas Bina Sehat PPNI Mojokerto selected through purposive sampling. Data were collected through semi-structured interviews, observations, and documentation, then analyzed using thematic procedures including data reduction, categorization, and verification. The findings indicate that integrating pesantren culture with PjBL effectively strengthens discipline, responsibility, cooperation, respect, spirituality, and moral awareness through authentic and collaborative learning experiences. Students also demonstrated improved learning independence, critical thinking, and process-oriented learning attitudes. However, challenges related to passive learning habits, adaptation to collaborative learning, and unequal participation were still identified. The study further reveals that lecturer facilitation and institutional support significantly influence implementation effectiveness. Theoretically, this study contributes to culturally responsive and holistic education frameworks by integrating religious-cultural values into contemporary project-based learning.
