Simulation Of the Application of The Area Traffic Control System (ATCS) At the Intersection in Kubu Raya District

Abstract

Optimizing the handling of transportation issues is challenging for Kubu Raya District due to the area's 70 times larger size than Pontianak City and the APBD funding restricted allocation for road infrastructure upgrades. Traffic congestion, air and noise pollution, traffic accidents, and delays are some of the transportation issues that Kubu Raya Regency faces. To address traffic issues at signalized junctions in Kubu Raya Regency, this study intends to provide the idea of implementing the Area Traffic Control System (ATCS) at signalized intersections at the research location which still use pretimed traffic signals. There are two intersections where the ATCS is applied: Major Alianyang-Adi Sucipto and Major Alianyang-Raya Desa Kapur. Intersection performance is analyzed using the MKJI 1997 and PTV VISSIM Software approaches. Wednesday and Saturday were the busiest days for conducting the survey. With LOS B a delay of 11.80 seconds was observed at Intersection Major Alianyang-Adi Sucipto and LOS F a delay 127.35 seconds was observed at Intersection Major AlianyangRaya Desa Kapur following the introduction of ATCS, according to the analysis conducted using PTV VISSIM Software
