Abstract
Landslides occur due to instability in the soil triggered by vibrations, high rainfall and topographical conditions of an area. Landslide is a natural disaster that often occurs in West Sumatra. This landslide certainly has an impact on traffic around the area. Congestion is the impact caused by landslides due to falling chunks of material onto the road. Lack of traffic control during landslides makes travel ineffective and inefficient. Therefore, the traffic control and its impact on possible landslides were tested using a VISSIM microscopic simulation software by setting the queue and delay parameters as the outputs. Based on this output of simulations, the metamodel was developed using regression analysis. This model could be used to predict the queue and delay of traffic because of landslide at road network. Two traffic control conditions that were simulated, open and close lane is used if the width of the landslides covering the road is more than one lane. Two-way traffic control in landslide zone is used when the width of the landslides covering the road is less than one lane.
