The primary focus of this research was to create a Smart Count of Vehicle Loading Prototype for ships, with an emphasis on monitoring and tallying vehicles boarding and disembarking from ships based on their weight. Microcontrollers, such as the ESP32, were utilized for the counting process and to determine if the ship's cargo weight exceeded its maximum capacity. The main objective was to prevent overloading on ships, which could lead to accidents during voyages or while vehicles were being loaded onto the ship. To achieve this goal, weight and distance sensors were installed on the ship and controlled by the microcontroller, allowing for accurate monitoring of the quantity and categories of vehicles being loaded. After designing and testing this prototype device, it has become a new technological innovation that makes monitoring the weight and quantity of cargo on ships easier and more efficient. This is supported by the fact that each sensor's readings can work well with an average error rate below 2%. Additionally, the maximum communication range between the Blynk IoT application and the ship system can reach up to 20 meters.

In motor vehicles, there is heat energy wasted from combustion in the combustion chamber. The temperature in a motorcycle engine has work, if it exceeds the ideal working temperature and is forced, it will be fatal.

The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of adding variations in exhaust wrap thickness on heat from exhaust headers and heat transfer rates. The research approach used is Quantitative, Experimental. The data collection method uses thermocouple test equipment and datalogger. The data obtained was processed into graph data and analyzed using the anova one-way method. The results showed that by adding a variety of coating cloth (exhaust wrap) to the exhaust header can reduce the temperature that comes out of the exhaust header where by coating 3 layers of exhaust wrap can reduce the most optimal heat and also reduce the heat transfer rate from testing for 1 minute, 2 minutes and 3 minutes with exhaust wrap of 17.99 J/s without exhaust wrap,  6.47 J/s 1 layer exhaust wrap and -28.10 J/s 3 layers exhuast wrap.

The development of the automotive world to date has grown rapidly, especially two-wheeled vehicles. Large temperature changes in lubricating oil viscosity, even if the value is too low, will reduce the lubrication of engine parts, increase friction between metals, and cause engine parts to heat up quickly. Efforts to control and overcome excessive engine heat can replace mineral-based lubricating oils with environmentally friendly and biodegradable lubricating oils. The purpose of this study is to determine the effect of using a mixture of cooking oil and surfactants C64H124O26 and C42H80NO8P as engine lubricants on the power and temperature produced by motorized vehicles. The independent variables of this research are RPM variation and mixture of pure cooking oil with lecithin and polysorbate surfactant (2.5%, 5%, 7.5%). The dependent variables are engine temperature and power. The control variables of this research are testing at room temperature, 4 stroke 125CC matic vehicle, and Raw Material using Palm cooking oil. The test method uses an infrared thermo gun for temperature and Dyno test for the highest power test on the type of Cooking Oil + Polyosrbate 7.5% with an average overall power of 5.872, then for the lowest temperature on the type of Cooking Oil + Polysorbate 2.5% with an average value of 86.2ºC.

Rapid advances in technology, especially through online and offline media, have changed the way people connect, access information and share views. YouTube has become the main platform for users to interact and distribute multimedia content, one of the contents of which is persuasive videos. Persuasive videos influence and convey messages to the public, such as raising awareness about the obligation to pay motor vehicle tax. The method used is the Multimedia Development Life Cycle (MDLC) method in making persuasive videos. MDLC stages include concept, design, material collection, assembly, testing, and distribution. The video was produced with a focus on motor vehicle tax payment guidelines, with a duration of 2 minutes 12 seconds. Evaluation carried out through a survey of STMIK Lombok students and verification by SAMSAT employees, shows that this video is effective in conveying information and increasing public understanding about the importance of paying motor vehicle tax. Respondents prefer presenting content via video rather than photos or writing.

Vehicle testing in this research was carried out in the Practical Work Lecture program at the North Sumatra State Islamic University, MedanOne type of service provided is motor vehicle testing. Motor vehicle testing is very important to carry out for the safety of the driving public. When testing motorized vehicles, not only one vehicle will be tested, but many vehicles will be tested every day. The testing carried out will of course take quite a long time. Therefore, this research will use a queuing theory system, where this queue will be formed and help in managing and optimizing performance in motor vehicle testing. In this research, we will lokk at the service time and waiting time required for motor vehicle testing. The method used in this research is data taken in 2022. The data was processed using Microsoft Ecxel with service time results of 15,8 and waiting time of 57,05.

This shows that the bentor tariff variable is the factor that is most able to influence the satisfaction of motorized rickshaw consumers in the Central Market of Polewali Mandar Regency.

This study explores how public service innovations in motor vehicle testing, based on Regional Public Service Agencies (BLUD), can improve road safety governance. In regions with rapidly growing motor vehicle populations, inadequate roadworthiness controls contribute to high traffic accident risks. While Indonesia has a regulatory framework for motor vehicle testing, service delivery remains largely administrative and lacks a strong focus on road safety. The study aims to assess how public service innovations can enhance road safety governance through local government-managed vehicle testing based on BLUD. Using a qualitative case study approach, data were collected through in-depth interviews, observations, and document analysis involving local government officials, testing technicians, and service users. Thematic and interpretive data analysis identified governance dimensions that influence service effectiveness. The study finds that road safety governance improvement relies on four main capacities: relational, structural, resource, and adaptive. Although BLUD-based management offers flexibility for service innovation, its implementation has not fully aligned with road safety goals. Challenges remain in public trust, cross-agency coordination, resource availability, and organizational learning. The study concludes that integrating public service innovation with institutional capacity building and safety-focused performance management is essential for strengthening road safety governance. These findings highlight the strategic importance of motor vehicle testing in enhancing road safety and public value at the regional level.

The public's lack of understanding of the benefits of vehicle testing and driving safety can have serious impacts on road safety and the environment. Many vehicle owners do not realize that vehicle testing is not only a legal obligation, but is also a preventive step that can reduce the risk of accidents and extend the service life of the vehicle. Efforts to increase public awareness need serious attention from the government, educational institutions and non-governmental organizations. The aim of this writing is to raise public awareness about motor vehicle testing. The method used in this research is Literature Review. The literature review method is a description of theories, findings and other research materials obtained from reference materials to serve as a basis for research activities. Literature reviews contain reviews, summaries and the author's thoughts about several library sources (articles, books, slides, information from the internet, etc.) about the topic being discussed. The research results show that by exploring the causes and consequences of this lack of awareness, strategic steps can be taken to increase public understanding and compliance with vehicle testing procedures. The government, educational institutions and other related parties need to work together to create a safer and more sustainable environment on Indonesian roads. In this context, education and outreach are the main keys to changing society's paradigm regarding the importance of motor vehicle testing.
