Performance Study of Gendengan Intersection with the Implementation of a One-way System with Contra Flow Bus Lane

Abstract

The central government plans to provide operational funding for urban public transport in the form of a Buy the Service (BTS) scheme in order to anticipate the degradation of the Batik Solo Trans (BST) public transport performance. One of the efforts to improve BST public transport services is by providing BST public transport a special lane facility on Brigjend Slamet Riyadi road from East to West direction called One-Way System with Contra Flow Bus Lane. This study discusses the design of traffic signal timing settings at Gendengan Intersection with implementation of One-Way System with Contra Flow Bus Lane on Brigjend Slamet Riyadi road. The signalized intersection performance is calculated by using the Indonesian Highway Capacity Manual 1997 method. Several scenarios of traffic signal timing for the signalized intersection are used to find out the best scenario. The results of signalized intersection performance analysis show that with implementation of One-Way System with Contra Flow Bus Lane, the level of service Gendengan intersection has decreased from D to F in the afternoon peak hours for Protected Scenario case, while in the morning and afternoon peak hours remain constant for all scenarios.
