Abstract

The western and southern path of highway that connects Banda Aceh to Meulaboh City is national road. The distance between the two cities is 246 kilometers. On the connecting link between the two cities there are at least three locations in the mountainous area. Roads geometric in these locations have low capacity, uphill and downhill with high grade and also have a small curved radius. These conditions cause low levels of road services and the risk of traffic accidents is high. These three segment area are: Paro, Kulu and Geurutee mountain area. Traffic at these three road locations is often hampered and also has a high risk in terms of safety. Consider with current and future traffic condition, there is a discourse to increase the capacity of existing roads or plans for new road trace on the mountain with tunnels construction. In the feasibility study stage, there will generally be alternatives that must be selected for the best alternative. To choose the best alternative, it should be done by considering the many criteria. For this reason, this paper is the selection of the best route using the Multi Criteria Analysis (MCA) method.
