Analysis of One-Way System Implementation with Contra-Flow Bus Lane in Supporting Sustainable Transportation Program

Abstract

Traffic development in the central business district area along the Brigjend Slamet Riyadi road, Surakarta City, Indonesia, is relatively dense and not in accordance with the development and changes in the environmental situation. This phenomenon creates congestion on several roads and intersections. Transport planning related to traffic management and engineering, and infrastructure needs to be carried out to solve urban transportation problems. Based on the Surakarta City Government's vision related to sustainable transportation, the one-way system with contra-flow bus lane will be implemented along the Brigjend Slamet Riyadi road. With the existence of this system, it is hoped that public transport Batik Solo Trans as one solution of urban transportation problem can be more integrated, fast, safe, comfortable, reliable and efficient. The purpose of this research is to determine the impact of the implementation of one-way system with contra-flow bus lane to the traffic performance in the study area. The research methodology involves modelling and analysing the traffic performance, parking and potential public transport demand in the study area. The existence of one-way system with contra-flow bus lane has the potential to increase the use of public transportation and improve the performance of public transportation. In general, traffic performance decreases, therefore it is necessary to perform transportation demand management such as management parking.
