ABSTRACT

Traffic congestion is a persistent global issue, particularly in densely populated cities like Bandung, Indonesia. The construction of an underpass offers a potential solution to reduce congestion at high-density intersections, such as the Cibiru Roundabout, which connects JL. Soekarno-Hatta, JL. Cibiru, and JL. A.H Nasution. This research analyzes traffic performance and assesses the feasibility of implementing an underpass at this location. A quantitative descriptive research method was used, with data collected through field measurements of vehicle volume and speed. The analysis followed the Indonesian Road Capacity Guidelines (PKJI) 2023 to evaluate capacity, degree of saturation, and service level. Using PTV VISSIM software, simulations were conducted to project traffic conditions over the next ten years, considering a 5% annual growth rate. Results indicate significant congestion, with service levels reaching "F" across various segments. Simulation outcomes suggest that an underpass would improve traffic flow by increasing capacity, reducing delays, and shortening queues. This study provides a valuable reference for urban planners seeking effective interventions in other cities facing similar traffic challenges.

INTRODUCTION

Traffic congestion is still unresolved worldwide, especially in every country with big cities (Haryati, 2020; Prasetyo et al., 2022). Indonesia has several big cities closely related to this issue, one of which is the city of Bandung, which has a high population (Ekiciputara et al., 2022; Marza et al., 2023). Unsurprisingly, Bandung has many congestion points, including the Cibiru roundabout, which brings together three road junctions, one of which is JL. Soekarno-Hatta, JL. Cibiru and JL. A.H Nasution. Bandung is a famous city and the largest metropolitan city in West Java. Bandung has experienced rapid growth in various sectors, such as a center of trade, tourism, education, culture, and industrial center.

Interestingly, after Jakarta and Surabaya, Bandung has the second-highest population in Indonesia. Data from the Central Agency Statistics (BPS) in 2023 shows that the city of Bandung has a population of 2,469,589 (Prasetyanto et al., 2021; Tjahjono et al., 2021). With the increasing number of people in Bandung and the continued growth of traffic, several problems arise, including congestion (Rivaldi & Novriani, 2024). This study aims to identify the traffic density and performance at the Cibiru Roundabout, Bandung City, and provide recommendations for reducing vehicle density in the next ten years. Traffic jams occur when traffic is hampered or stopped due to the volume of vehicles exceeding the available capacity. Congestion has detrimental consequences for the economy and the environment (Gertler et al., 2024; Prasetyanto et al., 2021; Sari & Yudhistira, 2021; Siregar et al., 2021).

The Cibiru Roundabout is a circular intersection used as a substitute for traffic lights or stop signs to regulate the traffic flow that connects the city of Bandung with Bandung Regency (Datu et al., 2018). The problem occurred because the traffic flow from Jalan Soekarno Hatta to Jalan Cibiru met the flow from Jalan A.H Nasution. The Cibiru Roundabout is also one of the strategic transportation nodes in Bandung, where traffic activity is very high and is often the focus of attention related to congestion problems and traffic violations. Traffic jams usually occur at this roundabout during busy traffic hours, coupled with the environment around the roundabout (Suryaningsih et al., 2020).

PTV VISSIM is a program for reviewing simulation results by entering geometric and vehicle data, as well as other elements to be visualized in the form of animations or outputs to review traffic performance (Al-Msari et al., 2024; Haq et al., 2022; Karakikes et al., 2017; Kučera & Chocholáč, 2021; Luo et al., 2024). VISSIM's PTV software can simulate existing traffic conditions. The outputs on VISSIM PTV are queue length, delay, speed, stops, and travel time, which function in engineering traffic (Al-Msari et al., 2024; Mitkas & Politis, 2020; Prasetyo et al., 2022).

Traffic congestion remains a critical issue in urban centers worldwide, particularly in densely populated cities like Bandung, Indonesia. Research, such as Harwidyo (2022), explored the effectiveness of underpasses in reducing traffic delays in other Indonesian cities, indicating that such infrastructure can significantly improve traffic flow and reduce congestion. Additionally, Apriyono et al. (2021) evaluated various traffic management solutions, showing that underpasses have notable benefits for minimizing intersectional delays. Despite these, studies have examined the specific conditions at the Cibiru Roundabout in Bandung, a crucial intersection linking key roadways such as JL. Soekarno-Hatta, JL. Cibiru, and JL. A.H Nasution.

This study uniquely focuses on the Cibiru Roundabout to assess the feasibility of an underpass and provides simulations projecting traffic conditions over the next decade. By addressing the congestion challenges specific to this location, this research adds to the existing body of knowledge. It offers a model that could apply to other high-density intersections. The findings will guide urban planners and policymakers in making data-driven decisions for Bandung and similar urban areas.

In recent years, urban areas worldwide, especially in densely populated cities, have grappled with significant traffic congestion issues. Previous studies have highlighted various strategies to alleviate congestion. For example, a study by Harwidyo (2022) analyzed the impact of underpass implementation on reducing traffic delays in Jakarta, demonstrating that underpasses can improve traffic flow and decrease congestion. Similarly, research by Andika (2021) focused on roundabouts in other major Indonesian cities, showing how traffic infrastructure improvements, such as underpasses and bypasses, effectively reduce saturation levels and improve road service quality.

However, limited research has citly on the unique traffic conditions at the Cibiru Roundabout in Bandung, a crucial intersection connecting several major roads. Given Bandung's rapidly growing population and economic activities, understanding the impact of an underpass at this location is essential for improving local traffic management. This study addresses this gap by analyzing the potential benefits of implementing an underpass at the Cibiru Roundabout, providing insights that could support similar projects in other urban settings.

Based on this problem, the focus of the problem is to analyze the traffic performance of the Cibiru Roundabout with the title "Analysis of the Implementation of the Cibiru Roundabout Underpass Using PTV VISSIM" Case Study of the Cibiru Roundabout, Bandung City aiming to determine the traffic performance at the Cibiru roundabout and simulate the existing and alternative conditions so that the traffic flow at the Cibiru roundabout will be smooth. The method used in this study is quantitative descriptive based on the Indonesian Road Capacity Guidelines (PKJI 2023) and recommends making an alternative in the form of an Underpass from Jl. Soekarno-Hatta towards Jl. Cibiru.

METHOD

Research Flow"

This study employs a quantitative descriptive research design to evaluate traffic performance at the Cibiru Roundabout in Bandung, Indonesia. The research aims to assess the current traffic conditions and simulate the potential impact of implementing an underpass to reduce congestion. Data was collected through field observations and measurements, focusing on vehicle volume, speed, and traffic patterns. Data was gathered over a specific time frame to ensure accuracy and reliability, capturing peak traffic hours to understand congestion levels thoroughly (Wallwey & Kajfez, 2023).

The Indonesian Road Capacity Guidelines (PKJI) 2023 served as the primary framework for analyzing traffic performance, including metrics such as capacity, degree of saturation, and level of service at the roundabout. PTV VISSIM software was used for traffic simulation, allowing researchers to project traffic conditions with and without an underpass over a ten-year period, assuming a 5% annual growth rate in vehicle numbers. This simulation provided insights into how the underpass might improve traffic flow, reduce delays, and minimize queue lengths in the future.

Primary and secondary data management uses the 2023 PKJI reference, resulting in traffic performance outputs that are used as study material for recommendations to be applied to the Cibiru Bandung roundabout. The location of this research was the Cibiru Roundabout, Bandung City. Primary data is obtained through a traffic survey. The observation is carried out for 11 hours in the morning from 06.00 – 10.00 WIB, afternoon from 11.00 – 14.00 WIB, and afternoon from 16.00 – 19.00 WIB, with the provision that it is taken at one peak hour.

Analysis Existing

The existing analysis aims to observe the behavior and output of the VISSIM program and compare it with alternatives. The results of the existing analysis presented include the values of volume, speed, delay, and queue length. The use of the VISSIM program in the existing analysis needs to be calibrated and validated. The calibration results in the VISSIM program are shown in the following table(Andika, 2021).

After adjustment, the table shows that there are differences in rider characteristics, which are presented by VISSIM by default and after calibration. Driving behavior is an adjustment to the characteristics of drivers in Indonesia. With these characteristic data, the results obtained are in accordance with the actual situation in the field. A regression test is required to present the validation value after the calibration (Wibowo et al., 2023).

Judging from the table above, the highest queue result from the result running vissim was 443,66 meters in the afternoon from the direction of JL. Soekarno Hatta – JL. A.H Nasution. The condition of the highest queue result from the result of running vissim after adding the Underpass is 24,55 meters in the morning from the direction of the Underpass, the highest queue result from the result of running vissim after adding the 10-year projection Underpass is 92,5 meters in the morning from the direction of the Underpass. Queue from the direction of JL. Soekarno Hatta – JL. A.H Nasution can be overcome because part of the vehicle volume is allocated through the Underpass; the increase in queues from the direction of the Underpass in the 10-year projection is in line with the increase in traffic growth at the Cibiru roundabout in Bandung city.

CONCLUSIONS

The performance of the Cibiru Bandung roundabout is currently poor due to excessive vehicle volume, which is passing its capacity and causing significant congestion. Data shows that the roundabout handles 84,749 vehicles daily with an average speed of 13.4 km/h, an average delay of 9.6 seconds, and a congestion probability reaching 105%. The degree of saturation is 1.64, with a service level of F, indicating frequent congestion and long queues. To address this, an Underpass was proposed as a solution, and the simulation results showed improved traffic flow. With the Underpass, the vehicle volume increased to 95,040 vehicles per day, the average speed rose to 30 km/h, and the delay was reduced to 11 seconds, resulting in an average queue of 3 meters and a service level of B, meaning stable traffic flow with some speed restrictions. For a 10-year projection, traffic volume is expected to rise to 139,151 vehicles per day, with an average speed of 25 km/h, an average delay of 18 seconds, and an average queue of 13.1 meters, resulting in a service level of C, indicating a stable but limited flow due to high traffic volume. Overall, the Underpass from JL was implemented—Soekarno to JL. Cibiru can significantly increase traffic volume and reduce congestion. However, further research is needed due to time constraints, and future studies should explore alternative solutions such as toll roads or an Electronic Road Pricing (ERP) system to address congestion. The researcher also suggests developing this study with a new method to obtain more accurate and comprehensive data for better traffic management solutions.
