Performance Analysis of Road Section and Unsignalized Intersections in Order to Prevent Traffic Jams on Jl H. Djole – Jl. Pasar Lama

Abstract

The unsignalized intersection of Jalan H Djole – Jalan Pasar Lama is located in Bekasi City is a commercial area with densely populated settlements and dense economic activity every day. Lack of facilities and infrastructure led to traffic jams on the intersection. A analysis is needed that aims to determine the volume of the vehicle, the performance of road sections and intersections which are measured based on capacity, degree of saturation, and level of service. And then alternative solutions to improve the performance of these roads and intersections.
 The analytical method used is the Indonesian Road Capacity Manual 1997. The data required in this study are primary data in the form of road geometric data, traffic volume, vehicle speed data and side friction data. As well as secondary data such as location maps, land use, and population data. Based on the results of the analysis that has been carried out, the highest traffic volume at the intersection occurs on Friday, 17.00 - 18.00 WIB, with a DS value of 1.06 and LOS F. Alternative solutions that can be given at the intersection are vehicles on minor roads A and C You can only turn left, with the alternative solution, the DS values ​​are 0.73 and LOS C. Whereas on the roads it has DS values ​​of 0.71 and LOS C. An alternative solution that can be given to roads is to reduce the level of side friction around the segment. Street. With this alternative solution, the DS value is 0.65 and LOS B.
