Identification scenario of dedicated lane for Suroboyo Bus Purabaya - Rajawali route by Rapid Demand Assessment Method

Abstract

Surabaya City has recently launched the new Suroboyo Bus service which serves the North-South corridor of the city. Based on the BRT service spectrum chart, this service system is currently in between the category of ordinary buses and busways systems. To convert into a full busway system, a dedicated bus lane for Suroboyo Bus is necessary. This paper aims to understand the suitable types of dedicated lanes in the route, confirmed with the size of the demand, the city's policy, and the geometric characteristics and the nature of the built environment along the corridor. This research conducts demand analysis and calculates the operational services by using the Rapid Demand Assessment method. It can be seen that the scenario of the type of dedicated lane development in the form of traffic lane conversion and segregated busways have matched the demand which can serve 75 buses per lane per hour and improved the travel time by 35-65% during congestion.
