Summary: | One serious problem in Jakarta megacity is the daily
traffic jam. Recently, according to the ever increasing
amount of newly registered vehicles in Jakarta, the time
interval needed to across some districts in Jakarta tends
to be longer. The main reason for the traffic jam is the
condition in which the road capacity and the arrival rate
of vehicles are not staying in balance. Well planned
traffic rules can be used to control the traffic flow so
that the overload condition should never happen. To
assist in the planning of these traffic rules, a traffic
simulator has been developed at the Center for
Information and Communication Technology in BPPT.
By integrating a GIS-based digital road map into the
above traffic simulator, the visualization of the
simulation results can be enhanced significantly. In this
paper some of the simulation results which are
performed on the Semanggi’s highway section are
presented. Further, the capability of this software-tool to
support the management of Jakarta’s highway will also
be figured out. |
