An Analysis Of The Road Network Performance In Area Faculty Of Engineering Hasanuddin University Gowa

Journal Title: IOSR Journal of Mechanical and Civil Engineering (IOSR-JMCE) - Year 2018, Vol 15, Issue 3

Abstract

A campus is a center of educational activity that has a high activity on the movement of vehicles. The existence of the Campus Faculty of Engineering Hasanuddin University Gowa affects to the flow of human movement and cause the attraction of the trip, which implies the increase in traffic volume and level of service road. A study of the performance of Malino axis road due to the existence of the Campus Faculty of Engineering Hasanuddin University Gowa. This research aims to explain the performance of the road network in area Faculty of Engineering Hasanuddin University Gowa and traffic handling strategy. The analysis shows that the flow of vehicles entering the campus will burden the road to Malino by 12% -15%, while the exit vehicles will increase the traffic load on the toll road to Sungguminasa by 12% -13.5% of the total number of vehicles, currently the degree of saturation the road of Malino axis road 0.56 with the level of service classified C. In year 2023 to 2025 predicted the level of Malino axis road service decreased (category D) with the degree of saturation 0.77 - 0.88 make the traffic flow is unstable due to high traffic volume. Malino axis traffic volume approaches planned road capacity in 2026 with a saturation degree for 0.94 (service level E). Moving heavy vehicle operating hours across the peak hour due to C excavation activities, increasing road width, and maximizing the Bus Rapid Transite (BRT) as a public transport mode is a handling strategy to maintain road network performance.
