On Routes of Smart Bus in Kajang, Selangor
PLANNING MALAYSIA: Journal of the Malaysian Institute of Planners VOLUME 18 ISSUE 3 (2020), Page 241 – 250 EVALUATION OF LEVEL OF SERVICE (LOS) ON ROUTES OF SMART BUS IN KAJANG, SELANGOR Nur Shazreena Mat Shukri1, Zakiah Ponrahono2, Yakin Nur Sunoto3, & Wan Noratikah Wahidah Wan Ghazali4 1,2,3,4 Department of Environment Faculty of Forestry and Environment UNIVERSITI PUTRA MALAYSIA Abstract Level of service (LOS) is a method used for the development of transportation infrastructure designations based on a specific analysis. The concept of LOS lies on the importance of an assessment of roadway operational performance services for the improvement of bus service delivery. A high performance of bus service delivery could relatively influence the satisfaction level of its users. This study assesses the LOS of three main designated routes of SMART buses in Kajang Selangor (KJ01, KJ02, and KJ03). The SMART buses are free buses provided under a free transit programme which aims to encourage people to use public transportation. An on-board survey and inventory observation were employed to collect the data. Findings indicate that KJ01, KJ02, and KJ03 fall under the category of LOS D considering the attributes of service frequency, service hours, passenger load/thresholds, and speed of bus. The discovery may serve as a useful guidance for the development of a comprehensive plan for LOS to be coordinated in improving the service quality of bus transportation. Keywords: Level of service (LOS), public transport, free bus 1 Student at Universiti Putra Malaysia. Email: [email protected] Nur Shazreena Mat Shukri, Zakiah Ponrahono, Yakin Nur Sunoto & Wan Noratikah Wahidah Wan Ghazali Evaluation of Level of Service (LOS) on Routes of SMART Bus in Kajang, Selangor INTRODUCTION The concept of free-fare public transportation known as SMART buses was introduced in Kajang by the local authorities in 2016.

Section 2 Statement of Need Projek Mass Rapid Transit Laluan 2 : Sg. Buloh – Serdang - Putrajaya Detailed Environmental Impact Assessment SECTION 2 : STATEMENT OF NEED 2. SECTION 2 : STATEMENT OF NEED 2.1 TRAFFIC CONGESTION - THE CHALLENGE OF THE FUTURE Traffic congestion and the efficient mobility of the urban population will be one of our main challenges in the coming decades, both in Malaysia as well as in the rest of the world. Traffic congestion is a drain on our productivity, contributes to air pollution, is energy inefficient and reduces the quality of life. In the Klang Valley, traffic congestion has become a major problem due to the increasing number of vehicles and the urban sprawl. Over the past few decades, the expanding population in the Klang Valley has led to an urban sprawl - the KL metropolitan area has extended from the city centre to over a 20 km radius. It has expanded outwards from the city centre to the adjacent administrative areas of Petaling, Gombak, Ampang Jaya, Subang, Kajang, Hulu Langat and Putrajaya. This urban sprawl has serious impacts including long commuting distances to work, high car dependence and higher per capita infrastructure costs. The urban sprawl also puts a tremendous amount of strain on the city’s transportation infrastructure. The major highways and the ring road around the city are already congested. During peak hours, traffic is often reduced to a crawl and lengthy queues are not uncommon. The major road systems which have been constructed, under construction or committed are unlikely to be able to satisfy Klang Valley’s needs even to 2020.

The Prehistoric Human Presence in Gua Kajang: Ancient Lifeways in the Malay Peninsula
JMBRAS, DECEMBER 2018 VOL 91 PART 2, NUMBER 315, pp. 1–18 The Prehistoric Human Presence in Gua Kajang: Ancient Lifeways in The Malay Peninsula Hsiao Mei Goh and Mokhtar Saidin Abstract The importance of Gua Kajang (Kajang Cave) as a prehistoric archaeological site in Peninsular Malaysia has been recognized since the early 1900s and was designated as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 2012. Over the past 10 years, archaeological excavations and research in this cave have produced evidence of prehistoric occupation that broadens the understanding of prehistoric cave archaeology in the Lenggong Valley. This article presents the early lifeways of prehistoric people of Gua Kajang between 11,000 and 4,000 years ago based on two human burials and associated finds, including stone artefacts, fauna remains and earthenware pottery. The material indicates that the early humans of Peninsula Malaysia were cave- dwellers or hunter-gatherers who depended heavily on forest resources. The Authors Hsiao Mei Goh (corresponding author) is a research fellow at the ARC Centre of Excellence for Australian Biodiversity and Heritage, University of New South Wales. She is also an adjunct faculty member of the Centre for Global Archaeological Research (CGAR), Universiti Sains Malaysia. Mokhtar Saidin is a faculty member of Centre for Global Archaeological Research (CGAR), Universiti Sains Malaysia. His expertise is in the field of palaeo- environment, Palaeolithic culture and stone tools. He has led Palaeolithic studies in Peninsular and East Malaysia, covering key sites in Southeast Asian archaeology.

Mobile Phone Base Station Radiation Study for Addressing Public Concern
American J. of Engineering and Applied Sciences 3 (1): 117-120, 2010 ISSN 1941-7020 © 2010 Science Publications Mobile Phone Base Station Radiation Study for Addressing Public Concern Aiman Ismail, Norashidah Md Din, Md Zaini Jamaludin and Nagaletchumi Balasubramaniam Department of Electronics and Communication, Center for Communications Service Convergence Technologies, College of Engineering, University Tenaga Nasional, Jalan Kajang-Puchong, 43009 Kajang, Selangor, Malaysia Abstract: Problem statement: The proliferation of mobile phone base stations had increased concerns from the public on the radio frequency radiation hazards that might come from them. The world wide public concern involved health risk due to radio frequency radiation. In Malaysia also public interest has increased, although it is not as intense as probably in other parts of the world, but had also resulted in tearing down of a few base stations. Due to this growing concern, a study was conducted to evaluate the radio frequency radiation levels near several mobile phone base stations in two major cities in Malaysia. Approach: Measurements in terms of electric field strength, power density and specific absorption rate were made to check the exposure level at public locations. Broadband meter were first used to survey the sites near the base stations. From the survey, spots with relatively higher readings will be further investigated using narrow band measurements. The measured values were then compared with the recommended international maximum permissible exposure limit. Results: The study showed that the measured values were found to be less than 1% of the maximum permissible exposure. Conclusion: The amount of radio frequency radiation from the selected base stations in the two major cities are adhering to the international limits although the physical radio base station infrastructures spawning out everywhere in these areas may give the reverse impression.
