Transportation modelling using PTV Vissim for the adjacent junction in Sampangan Semarang City

Abstract

The growth of vehicles in the city of Semarang is fast, as calculated based on the BPS Semarang the number of vehicle growth is 11% per year. This causes the road capacity to be periodically increased. As is the case at the adjacent intersections on Dewi Sartika street and Talangsari street initially, to break up delays and queues and increase capacity, efforts were made to add a 7-meter-wide bridge. However, this widening will not solve the problem in the next 5 years so that alternative solutions are needed for the two intersections. This study aims to evaluate the two intersections using the Binamarga method based on the 1993 MKJI, to determine the capacity of the intersection and plan the design of the intersection in the future and then make modelling with PTV Vissim Software to describe the simulation of the actual situation.
