Abstract

The Internet of Things (IoT) has revolutionized information gathering and daily activities, particularly in train operations. However, the implementation of IoT in Indonesia has not been optimally used, leading to delays in train location information. This research aims to explore the application of IoT for train location tracking systems in two countries, namely the UK as a developed country that adopts technology more quickly compared to Indonesia. This study employs qualitative methods with case studies approach to analyze IoT implementation in train tracking in Indonesia and the UK, focusing on regulations, and technology which support train tracking systems. Several research has discussed about how to use IoT in designing systems to produce train locations information and how this can help improve the safety of train operations. The originality in this research is exploration of how the implementation of IoT related to train tracking has been utilized and the benefits that have been felt by each stakeholder in both countries. The UK has implemented privatization, which has positively impacted infrastructure development. In addition, Office of Rail and Road (ORR) as an independent organization in UK regulates passenger information conveyed by train and station operators. In contrast, Indonesia's infrastructure is owned by the government and managed by KAI, the passenger train and station operator for mostly intercity train. The Ministry of Transportation supervises operators, implementing regulations from construction to operations. The comparison results indicate that specific regulations, data openness, and Darwin system in UK are the factors in real-time train information provision.

Abstract

Nowadays, music plays an essential role in train stations. Many train stations offer music in various forms. This study focuses on the background music, defined as music prepared and recorded in advance by the train station manager and played at certain times with a specific duration in the stations. The songs or musical instruments played in Java Island, Indonesia, are folk songs that reflect the identity of each region. The objectives of the study are to analyse the background music selection in the train station globally, to identify the purpose of background music used in the train stations from the railway company perspective, to identify the criteria and characteristics of folk songs used as background music, and to analyse the passengers’ perspective on background music at the train station. The research utilised a qualitative case study research methodology. The methods used include online research and literature reviews to answer the first objective regarding background music selection at train stations globally. Then in-depth interviews with rail service providers and the rail service users. The conclusions obtained are: 1) the Japan Railway Company create unique melodies for each line and station to help the train passengers remember specific locations and lines and guide the passengers to steps and orderly queues during peak hours; 2) KAI's purpose in playing background music at the station is for additional services for passengers as well as a sign that the train has arrived and to provide a regional identity as one of the local cultures; 3) the percentage of background music is dominated by instrumentals with traditional arrangements; 4) About 80% of the respondents who were interviewed said that the songs played at the station had a place for bonding with the location, others are nostalgic, proud, peaceful and relaxed.
