Expert Transportation ITB Gives Way Out So That Train Accidents in Bandung Become the Last

Dream - Single-track train line in Bandung Regency, West Java claimed casualties on Friday (5/1/2024) morning. Turangga Train was involved in a collision with the Commuter Line Bandung Raya on the railway section between Haurpugur Station - Cicalengka at KM 181.

Transportation expert from ITB, Sony Sulaksono Wibowo also highlighted the tragedy that killed the 4 railway officers. According to him, the single track on railway lines in Indonesia makes this public transportation mode vulnerable to accidents.

"In train procedures, for single track, trains must take turns. The train that has priority is usually Turangga. Later, the local train enters one of the sidings at the nearest station, waiting for the Turangga train to pass, and then the local train enters the main track."

"Causes of Train Accidents"

Sony said, there are several factors that can be the cause of train accidents on the same track. The causes include signal and communication problems. "There is a possibility of miscommunication. Whether it is a signal error, a train operator error, or a signal error. Because there is communication through signals and through signals," said Sony.

Regarding the accident involving KA Turangga and Kereta Bandung Raya, Sony highlights the need for the double track to be built immediately. The construction of the double track will minimize the recurrence of similar disasters.

"Moving forward, the construction of the southern track (double track) must indeed be expedited. The northern track has already been double-tracked. The southern track was delayed for a while. However, trains are still one of the favorite modes of transportation for long distances, especially during holiday seasons."
He said.

Apart from dual tracks, Sony proposes improvements to factors that can cause problems in the field. Signal improvement is needed for communication, including signal communication on the still single track.

"Safe Passenger"

It is known that, in the accident, the Turangga train bound for Surabaya-Gubeng-Bandung carried a total of 287 passengers and the local Padalarang-Cicalengka train carried 191 passengers. All passengers are reported to be safe, although some have suffered injuries.

"All train passengers involved in the accident are safe. 22 passengers have sustained injuries and have received treatment at the nearest hospital. KAI deeply mourns and expresses condolences for the loss of four train personnel, including: the train driver, assistant train driver, flight attendant, and security personnel, due to the Train Accident incident (KKA).""
