Different impact of side friction condition on traffic flow along Yosodipuro Street Surakarta
Abstract
The increase of side friction in Surakarta has caused increasing traffic volume in several road networks, especially in Yosodipuro Street. On this road, there are many public facilities that generated some activities on or along the roadsides that influence the performance of road capacity. The research aims to know the different impact of side friction along the street, in term of road capacity, the degree of saturation, and the level of service. The analysis is based on the Indonesian Highway Capacity Manual (IHCM) 1993. The survey was carried out in a day mainly from 6 a.m. to 12 p.m. located in three spots of Yosodipuro Street and each spot has 200 meter length. The data obtained from the field are geometric data, traffic counting data, and side friction data. Based on the analysis, it can be concluded that the highest hourly volume in Yosodipuro Street is 2058.83 pcu/hour. This condition happens in Location 1 around 06:30 - 07:30, and the capacity of this street is 2118.32 pcu/hour. The degree of saturation (DS) of each location is 0.972 at Location 1, 0.638 at Location 2, and 0.632 at location 3. Based on DS, the level of service (LOS) of each location are D-Level at Location 1, C-Level at Location 2 and Location 3. This means both Location 2 and 3 are still in normal condition, while Location 1 is approaching its capacity.
