Analysis on junction performance from 5 development at Jalan Ipoh Lumut (FT100), Manjung, Perak

Abstract

Traffic Impact Assessment (TIA) is a study to review, understand and mitigate adverse traffic impact of a new development on the existing road network. TIA is usually imposed by authorities such as Public Works Department (JKR), Malaysia Highway Authorities (LLM) or local authorities as a condition to obtain approval for road and drainage plan as well as the planning permission. It is important to evaluate the traffic impact of a development onto the existing road network so to recommend appropriate mitigation measures to accommodate the additional trips generated by the proposed development in specific and to improve the traffic flow and circulation in the vicinity of the study area in general. In this study, a traffic model is constructed using SIDRA that essentially consists of an advanced suite of functionalities which are broadly adopted worldwide in comprehensive transport planning studies and analyses. Junction Analysis is becoming an important scope in project commencement to measure the effect of a particular developer’s traffic toward the transportation network. Jalan Ipoh Lumut (FT 100), Manjung, Perak is a busy arterial road. In addition, there are also intersections with unacceptable traffic conditions during peak hours. Under such circumstances, appropriate traffic management plan is necessary to improve the road safety as well as traffic conditions along Route FT 100. It also will measure the current traffic condition by using SIDRA for Level of Services (LOS).
