The parking lot density at the Faculty of Engineering, Universitas Muhammadiyah Yogyakarta (UMY), reflects students' high use of motor vehicles. Various factors, including demographic characteristics, travel patterns, and the availability and limitations of public transportation infrastructure, influence this. However, no specific research has analyzed students' transportation mode choices at the Faculty of Engineering UMY and their impact on the campus parking capacity. This study aims to describe students' demographic and travel characteristics and analyze the parking capacity at the Faculty of Engineering UMY. The methods used were descriptive statistics and cross-tabulation analysis by distributing questionnaires to 98 respondents. The results show that most respondents are male, within the age range of 19-23 years. Most students have an income higher than the Provincial Minimum Wage (UMP), enabling them to own a private vehicle or pay for transportation costs. The primary transportation mode used by students is motorcycles. Private motorcycles dominate the transportation choice due to their efficiency for short trips (0-15 minutes or 1-7 km). Parking capacity analysis shows that the parking capacity for two-wheeled vehicles at the Faculty of Engineering UMY has exceeded its capacity with a saturation rate 1.21 during peak hours. Meanwhile, the parking facility or four-wheeled vehicles has reached 100%, with a saturation rate of 1, indicating that it is complete but has not exceeded capacity during peak hours. The conclusion of this study emphasizes that the choice of transportation mode for students at the Faculty of Engineering UMY is dominated by private vehicles, particularly motorcycles. This condition results in high parking saturation, which calls for transportation management strategies such as improving public transportation accessibility, regulating private vehicle usage policies, and optimizing parking spaces.

Wearing Course Lataston (HRS-WC) is a type of flexible pavement with durable and good durability and flexibility. The constituent materials of HRS-WC asphalt consist of aggregate, asphalt, and filler. Bentonite powder is an active chemical filler material with superior swelling ability, ion exchange properties, and large surface area. It quickly absorbs water to form a thick suspension. This research aims to determine and determine the Optimum Asphalt Content (OAC), optimum filler content, comparison of the percentage value of increase or decrease in Marshall test parameters, and the effect of adding bentonite powder filler to HRS-WC Asphalt on asphalt performance according to the General Specifications for Bina Marga Year 2018 Revision 2. Based on the research results on Marshall characteristics, the KAO value was obtained at 7.5%, and the optimum filler content value was 1.90%. The addition of bentonite filler shows changes in the characteristics of HRS-WC asphalt, namely an increase in stability, Marshall Quotient, and VFA, as well as a decrease in flow, VIM, and VMA. So, the effect of adding bentonite filler to HRS-WC asphalt can increase density, reduce the number of voids, fill voids between aggregates, and be able to bind asphalt to the asphalt mixture. However, the excessive addition of bentonite powder as a filler can reduce the flow value and make the asphalt mixture harder and stiffer.

The ability to write clear and descriptive texts is an essential skill in a variety of academic and professional contexts. From designing compelling narrative essays in literature class to crafting clear and concise reports in the workplace, effective descriptive writing allows individuals to communicate their ideas and engage audiences with vivid imagination and sensory detail. However, the development of these skills often requires intensive practice and constructive feedback. Traditional writing instruction often relies on human feedback from teachers and lecturers. Therefore, this study aims to compare the feedback ability generated by generative artificial intelligence on the ability to write in descriptive texts. This study uses a quantitative research approach with quasi-experimental design. This study involved 58 students of Civil Engineering Vocational Education Program. The non-equivalent control group design was used to compare the results of the experimental class and the control class. Based on the results of data analysis using the Wilcoxon test, there were 29 positive ranks, this means that there were 29 students who experienced an increase in scores at the time of the posttest with an increase of 18.38% from the pre-test score. The average Gain Score = 0.4933 with a maximum value of 0.7272 and a minimum score = 0.28. It can be concluded that the use of generative artificial intelligence in providing feedback on students' descriptive texts is a medium or quite effective.

Traffic congestion is a common issue in developing metropolitan areas, impacting both economically and socially. Long vehicle queues result in delays for many vehicles, which increases travel time and contributes to deteriorating air quality due to emissions from motor vehicles at intersections. One of the influencing factors is the non-optimization of intersections due to delays. Previous studies commonly use the Highway Capacity Manual Indonesia, 2023, to analyze intersection optimization. However, this study will utilize PTV Vissim software. In planning the intersection, some factors must be considered, such as capacity, density, speed, and type. An average daily traffic survey and a road geometric survey will be conducted in the field survey. The analysis will be performed using PTV Vissim software to optimize the 3 (Three) Talang Buluh intersection in Banyuasin Regency by examining the impact of vehicle queue length and evaluating policies for improving traffic management. According to the analysis results, the data from the First Scenario shows that the maximum vehicle queue length reaches 124.02 meters, with an average delay of 18.75 seconds from the Palembang direction. In the second scenario, installing traffic signal control devices increased the queue length to 287.95 meters from the Betung direction, with the most extended delay reaching 129.52 seconds. The third scenario, which involved geometric changes at the intersection, successfully reduced the vehicle queue length to just 47.70 meters from the Palembang City direction. Additionally, the most extended delay recorded was only 11.59 seconds, demonstrating the effectiveness of this approach, though it is costly and unsuitable for short-term use. Overall, Scenario 1 can serve as a short-term solution for intersection optimization. However, if road widening improvements are feasible, Scenario 3 is the optimal solution for enhancing traffic efficiency and effectiveness, significantly reducing vehicle queues and delays. This is crucial for implementing long-term traffic management strategies at the Talang Buluh Intersection in Banyuasin Regency.
