| Summary: | The Area Traffic Control System is an integral part of the Intelligent Transportation
System. It aims to coordinate signalized intersections in real-time based on on-theground traffic conditions. Its intended implementation is expected to have an
overall positive impact on traffic conditions at intersections as well as the
transportation network. Despite the initial plan to implement the Area Traffic
Control System in Ambon City, the capital of Maluku province in 2018, there has
been no implementation at present. Ambon City experiences an annual increase in
vehicle growth and accident rates. Hence, conducting research to identify potential
locations for deploying the Area Traffic Control System in Ambon City is
imperative. The study centered on six signalized intersections in the heart of Ambon
City. The selection of locations for implementing the Area Traffic Control System
in Ambon city center was determined by formulating criteria and sub-criteria
through the Analytical Hierarchy Process method, which acted as weights for
scoring analysis. The priorities for implementation were then assessed at six
intersections. Based on the findings from the Analytic Hierarchy Process, road
performance is the most influential criterion with a weight of 58,4% compared to
the other two criteria. Of the thirteen sub-criteria, only three greatly impact each
criterion. The VC ratio sub-criteria have the most impact on road performance
criteria, accounting for 68,7% of the weight. The distance to the nearest
intersection sub-criteria is most important for road geometric criteria, weighing
32,5%. Regarding land use criteria, the commercial area sub-criteria carry the
most weight with a percentage of 38,1%. Out of the six intersections studied, AlFatah intersection received the highest score of 3,851. However, ATCS application
is recommended at all six intersections as they score greater than 3,5. Intersections
with road sections having a low VC ratio, short distance to the next intersection,
and commercial areas are more optimal for ATCS implementation. This research
may be replicated to determine the location of ATCS for similar cases, particularly
in cities with characteristics similar to Ambon. |
