Abstract
  • Traffic engineering is a phase in engineering that involves planning, geometry design, and traffic operation on the road. Performance analysis of facilities such as intersections is part of traffic engineering studies. This study aims to analyse the performance of several intersections along Jalan Sulaiman/Jalan Temenggung Ahmad in Bandar Maharani, Muar, Johor. Therefore, the objectives are to identify a peak hour along this road based on commuter volume counting and to analyse the level of service of the selected signalised intersections. Turning movement data were collected manually at signalized intersections while for roundabouts, data were extracted from the drone-recorded video. SIDRA Intersection 8.0 was used to analyse the collected data in this study. The commuter volume study found that the peak hour and the peak 15-minute are from 5.30 p.m. to 6.30 p.m. and 6.00 p.m. to 6.15 p.m. with 2420 and 653 vehicles, respectively. Based on the performance analysis, the level of service for all studied intersections during the peak hour is at the worst performance or F and needs immediate action by the local authority. In summary, the intersections along Jalan Sulaiman/Jalan Temenggung Ahmad can be considered among the busiest road in Bandar Maharani Muar based on the analysis outcomes. The responsible party should carry out proper intervention to increase the capacity at the involved intersections.
