Of the 24 teams from 24 Indonesian universities that participated, Semar UGM managed to secure two titles in the Proto-Electric Car and Eco Fun Race-Electric Car categories.

General Manager of Semar UGM Hendra Widyatmoko (Mechanical Engineering) said the team created a prototype car that uses a low-power electric motor with a super-efficient controller. With the said design, the car has broken a new record for the Asia Pacific region with a mileage of 644.77 km/kWh, previously achieved by China’s HuaQi-EV with 501.6 km/kWh.

“Alhamdulillah, it was smooth sailing throughout the stages, from proposal submission, scrutineering to the competition day. We won first place in two categories. Hence we would like to thank all parties who have supported us, both internally (the University, the Department of Mechanical and Industrial Engineering, and the Faculty of Engineering) and externally,” he said, Monday (22/11).

Semar UGM Supervisor Dr. Jayan Sentanuhady said the team took three years to develop the car, starting from designing, manufacturing, and participating in the race. In addition, the good cooperation among three different cohorts involved in the creation has been among the key factors that help them claim the titles. (sumber ugm.ac.id)

Dr. Hilya Mudrika Arini (DTMI), Dr. Tri Mulyani Sunarharum (DTAP), and Dr. Budi Hartono (DTMI) from Gadjah Mada University’s Faculty of Engineering developed SIGAP-Merapi Adventure, a disaster response simulation game, in partnership with Dr. Agnessa Spanellis from Heriot-Watt University. The Global Challenges Research Fund in the United Kingdom is funding this research and community service initiative, which is part of the Multi-Hazard Prediction and Disaster Response Management Research Project in Indonesia.

This research, as well as community service, is being carried out in order to assist developing countries in overcoming the genuine obstacles they face as a result of natural disasters, such as periodic volcanic eruptions. The goal of this study is to see if game-based learning can help communities plan for and respond to natural disasters, as well as enhance community resilience.

This game was created by the research team based on a case study in Argomulyo Village, Sleman Regency, Yogyakarta, which is adjacent to Mount Merapi. Interviews with Key Persons from village inhabitants, the Destana/DRR Forum, and BPBD DIY were conducted in order to plan out the current Merapi eruption evacuation education approach. Players can use this game to determine their disaster reaction behavior and learn about various evacuation techniques during emergency response situations. Players’ capacity is also put to the test when they are presented with a variety of crisis scenarios in order to save their village from a catastrophic volcanic eruption.

The RESilient Emergency Preparedness for Natural Disaster Response via Operational Research (RESPOND-OR) research project, led by Lancaster University’s Centre for Transport and Logistics (CENTRAL), aims to solve challenges and improve natural disaster emergency preparedness and response. The RESPOND-OR project will provide a Decision Support System to help with decisions such as: I disaster relief supply allocation and distribution, ii) population evacuation, and iii) emergency response personnel scheduling and routing. The project, which is funded by the UKRI Engineering and Physical Sciences Research Council’s Global Challenge Research Fund (EPSRC/GCRF) program*, brings together a multinational, interdisciplinary research team from the United Kingdom (Lancaster University), Indonesia (Universitas Gadjah Mada and Universitas Indonesia), and Sudan (Universitas Indonesia) (University of Khartoum). The research team is collaborating closely with important stakeholders from both Indonesia and Sudan who represent disaster management organizations. The National Disaster Management Authority (BNPB), the Yogyakarta Special Region Disaster Management Agency (BPBD DIY), and the Humanitarian Forum Indonesia are the primary stakeholders in Indonesia (HFI). The goal is to make sure that the project deliverables are in line with the needs of the stakeholders.

The UGM team, which includes Bertha Maya Sopha, Ph.D., Hilya Mudrika Arini, Ph.D., and Sekar Sakti, M.Sc., is working on a simulation model to predict the evacuation time and number of evacuated residents (both aided and self-evacuated) for flood evacuation in Jakarta. Between October 2020 and March 2021, empirical data was collected and a conceptual model was developed. The initial iteration of simulation, which will be released in April 2021, will integrate agent-based modeling and discrete-event simulation. It replicates the evacuation of residents from their homes. Trucks and rubber boats are used to simulate actual response actions throughout the evacuation procedure. In June 2021, the initial simulation model was presented to BPNB and NGOs at a verification workshop. The simulation model can be used as an experimental tool to help better create a flood evacuation plan for Jakarta.
