The event aims to draw 10,000 global participants and will include activities like ministerial round tables and exhibitions. ITS Asia-Pacific Secretary General, Mr. Akio Yamamoto, supports Indonesia’s potential leadership in the region, addressing transportation challenges.

Indonesia was appointed as the host of The 19th ITS Asia-Pacific Forum 2024. It will be the biggest forum of ITS Asia-Pacific. “It has been long awaited since 1996, so we will prepare for this event carefully,” said the President of ITS Indonesia, Mr. William P. Sabandar. The theme for this upcoming forum is ‘Transformation Towards a Sustainable and Intelligent Urban Mobility’ is targeted to receive 10,000 participants from various countries, including America and Europe.

Intelligent Transport System (ITS) is a non-profit organisation set up jointly between industry, academia, government agencies, and communities in order to encourage development initiatives and the use of intelligent transport systems in order to provide a safe and convenient transportation ecosystem. The 19th ITS Asia Pacific Forum, will be held on May 28–30, 2024, in the Jakarta Convention Centre (JCC). The upcoming forum will discuss various issues related to transportation, such as air pollution, traffic jams, safety, and city development.

Secretary General of ITS Asia-Pacific and President of ITS Japan, Mr. Akio Yamamoto, expressed his impressions to Jakarta in front of the media. “It always feels energetic every time I come to Jakarta. There are so many young people here that make me excited,” he said to the media. Mr. Yamamoto is also giving his impressions for the venue that has been chosen by ITS Indonesia crew and staff for The 19th ITS Asia-Pacific Forum. He hopes that there will be many participants who attend and participated in the forum. However, he revealed he was anxious about the forum that will be implemented in Indonesia. “But, after I came here (Jakarta) and I met so many great people handling this project, I believe it would go well.” Said Mr. Yamamoto. He added that by seeing ITS Indonesia’s presentation, he could conclude that ITS Indonesia already understood about the issues that would be discuss in the forum later.

In the upcoming forum of ITS Asia-Pacific in Jakarta, Mr. William P. Sabandar revealed there will be several interesting activities that participants could participate in: the ministerial round table, reading the commitment letter to support sustainable and intelligent transport (Jakarta Declaration), special interest session with the academy, policymakers, and students about the newest and hot topic regarding transportation, an exhibition, product demonstration, and also technical tour of the evolution of transportation in Jakarta.

The General Secretary of ITS Asia-Pacific, Mr. Yamamoto, showed his support for Indonesia in holding the biggest ITS forum in Asia-Pacific. “Indonesia is the only Southeast Asian country that has the opportunity to host the ITS Asia-Pacific forum; if this forum is well organised, there will be an opportunity for Indonesia to become the Leader of ITS in the Southeast Asia Region,” he said. Mr. Yamamoto said, ITS will contribute to creating a sustainable transportation system and providing solutions to traffic jams. Apart from that, he also hopes that there will be the development of transportation with carbon neutrality and disaster relief, especially in Indonesia.

In the context of Intelligent Transport System (ITS) development, ITS will be used as the development mode for Indonesia’s new capital city, Nusantara (IKN). ITS Asia-Pacific hopes that the future plan of Indonesia’s new capital city will include transportation planning and this topic certainly added to the forum of the 19th ITS Asia-Pacific Forum in Jakarta Convention Center (JCC) to get discussion.

Boost asset performance, cut downtime, and stay ahead of competitors with PetroSync Reliability & Maintenance training for business leaders. In today’s competitive industrial landscape, asset performance is no longer a technical concern—it is a business imperative. If your competitors can maintain higher equipment availability, reduce downtime, and respond faster to failures, they gain an advantage that directly affects market share, profitability, and customer trust. As a business leader, you may already sense this pressure. The uncomfortable question is not whether reliability matters, but whether your organization is moving fast enough. When Your Competitors Fix Assets Faster Than You Can Imagine two companies operating similar assets in the same market. One experiences frequent unplanned shutdowns, while the other maintains steady production with minimal disruption. The difference is rarely luck—it is capability. Organizations that invest in reliability and maintenance competencies empower their teams to detect issues earlier, prioritize the right tasks, and execute maintenance with precision. Studies consistently show that mature reliability programs can improve maintenance productivity by 15–25%, simply by reducing reactive work and improving planning accuracy. While your team struggles with fire-fighting mode, competitors with structured reliability frameworks move faster, recover quicker, and deliver more consistent output. Over time, that performance gap becomes impossible to ignore. The Hidden Cost of “Business as Usual” in Reliability and Maintenance Many companies underestimate the cost of maintaining the status quo. On the surface, operations may appear stable—but beneath it lies inefficiency. Unoptimized maintenance strategies often lead to: Excessive overtime and labor waste Spare parts overstocking or critical shortages Repeated failures that erode asset life According to industry benchmarks, poor maintenance practices can consume up to 30% of total operating costs. Meanwhile, organizations that adopt reliability-centered approaches typically achieve 10–20% operational efficiency improvements, freeing capital for growth rather than repairs. If competitors are already operating leaner and smarter, continuing “business as usual” is not neutral—it is a risk. How Smart Reliability Leaders Turn Technology Into a Competitive Weapon Forward-thinking leaders understand that reliability excellence is no longer driven by people alone—it is amplified by technology. AI-powered maintenance tools, including intelligent chatbots, are increasingly used to support frontline teams. These systems help technicians access procedures, historical failure data, and troubleshooting guidance instantly. The result is faster decision-making, fewer errors, and reduced dependency on limited expert resources. Organizations implementing AI-assisted maintenance solutions report: Faster issue resolution and improved team productivity Reduced training time for new technicians Operational cost savings of up to 20–30% by minimizing downtime and unnecessary interventions However, technology only delivers value when paired with strong reliability fundamentals. This is where professional capability development becomes critical. Programs such as CMRP Training and CRE Training equip professionals with the strategic and analytical skills needed to turn tools and data into real performance gains. Staying Relevant in an Era Where Asset Performance Defines Market Winners The reality is simple: markets reward organizations that can sustain asset performance under pressure. Those that fail to evolve risk falling behind—not because they lack assets, but because they lack reliability leadership. Reliability-centered methodologies help businesses shift from reactive maintenance to structured decision-making. Programs like ARCM Training enable teams to align maintenance activities with business risk, ensuring resources are focused where they matter most. Meanwhile, RCA Training helps organizations break the cycle of recurring failures that quietly drain profitability. For business leaders, investing in reliability and maintenance capability is not just about equipment—it is about protecting competitiveness. When your competitors can deliver faster, cheaper, and more reliably, the cost of inaction becomes far greater than the cost of transformation.

To this day, PetroSync has become a leading oil and gas training provider, with a participant passing rate as high as 90%. This Press Release has also been published on VRITIMES
