Effects of motorcycles properties to queue length at signalized intersection with Vissim Software

Abstract

A traffic simulation model is an effective approach tool for analyzing traffic operations. It can produce relatively close to real-world output. This study aims to determine the effect of motorcycle proportion on the length of the queue which is then modeled using Vissim Software. Data obtained from the recording handycam are volume and type of vehicle. The data shows that the largest proportion of motorcycles is as follows: Pulau Pinang road = 67.6%, Ahmad Yani road = 73.9%, Setia Budi (north) road = 69.7%, Setia Budi (south) = 71.1%. Based on the survey and Vissim simulation the maximum queue length at Pulau Pinang road is 192 m and 267.14 m. Ahmad Yani roads are 290 m and 375.2 m, Setia Budi (north) road are 233 m and 489,5 m, Setia Budi (south) road are 230 m and 477.9 m. It is clear that there is a significant difference between the simulation and the real situation for the queue length results. The results also concluded that there is no significant correlation between motorcycle proportion and Queue length on the real situation.
