Comparison Of Road Performance On Malioboro Area Before And After The Application Of A One-Way System

Abstract

The Malioboro area is a shopping and tourist area in Yogyakarta that is a popular tourist destination, resulting in traffic jams. The implementation of the One-Way System is one of the efforts to alleviate traffic congestion in the Malioboro area. The goal of this study was to determine the performance of Malioboro Street before and after the one-way system was implemented, as well as the impact of the one-way system on the surrounding roads such as Abu Bakar Ali Street, Malioboro Street, Margo Mulyo Street, Suryatmajan Street, PS Senopati Street, Mayor Suryotomo Street, and Mataram Street. The quantitative descriptive method is used in this study. The primary data for this study came from a survey conducted at the research site, and the secondary data came from the Yogyakarta City Transportation Agency. The two sets of data were then analyzed in Microsoft Excel and modeled in PTV VISSIM. After confirming the validity of the modeling results, proceed with the analysis of road performance using Indonesian Highway Capacity Manual 1997 (Manual Kapasitas Jalan Indonesia 1997) to obtain a comparison of the degree of saturation, speed, and level of service on the road sections studied before and after the implementation of the one-way system in the Malioboro area in accordance with the Regulation of Transportation Minister Number 96 of 2015. The Malioboro Road Section had a saturation level of 0. prior to the implementation of the One Direction system in the Malioboro Area. After the implementation of the One Direction system in the Malioboro Area, the degree of saturation improves to 1,22, a 42 percent decrease with an average speed of 22 km/hour, and the average speed of the Malioboro Road Section increased with an average speed of 24,8 km/hour but remained on level of service F. The speed of the Abu Bakar Ali Road Section has decreased by 58 percent and remains at level of service F with a 51 percent decrease in the degree of saturation, the speed of the Malioboro Road Section has increased by 11 percent and remains at level of service F with a 42 percent decrease in the degree of saturation, and the speed of the Suryatmajan Road Section has decreased by 19 percent with a 27 percent decrease in the degree of saturation, and overall decreases in speed and increasing number of degree of saturation while still in the F Level of Service in Mataram Street, Margoo Mulyo Street, PS Senopati Street and Mayor Suryotomo Street.
