ABSTRACT
The purposes of this research are to determine the potential and usefulness of Cibitung Cilincing toll road roles during pandemic covid-19. Despite regulation of movement restrictions in Indonesia, the Bekasi district area residents also demand efficient time & cost terms of their mobilities. This research uses the theory of city access concepts and urban mobility. The author used the survey method, a literature study. This research is expected to explore and measure the roles of Cibitung Cilincing Toll Road to shorten mobilities distance and more affordable costs incurred with general comparison before and after the Cibitung Cilincing Toll Road partially operated 2,75 km in August 2021. The results of this study will describe the user statements considered and related to cost, time, and their characteristics. Increased mobility in this area will undoubtedly gain potential regional development from a social perspective. © 2022, The Author(s), under exclusive license to Springer Nature Switzerland AG.
ABSTRACT
The global COVID-19 pandemic leads people to intermittent quarantines and lockdowns. Many large and crowded gatherings were postponed or even cancelled to prevent social distance violation. The paper aims to tackle the placement problem of macro sites, microcells and picocells under a restricted network topology. The cell placement problem is defined based on linear programming. The algorithm named Cost Efficiency algorithm is proposed to construct a network with higher performance and lower cost. Simulation results showed that the proposed algorithm yields higher SINR value and more number of served users over construction cost compared with other planning algorithms. The result of this work is expected to help users have better network service quality when they are isolated in hospital or self-health monitoring at home. © 2021, ICST Institute for Computer Sciences, Social Informatics and Telecommunications Engineering.
