EVALUATION OF ALTERNATIVE RAILWAY CONNECTION ACCESS AT JAKARTA SOEKARNO HATTA INTERNATIONAL AIRPORT
Abstract: Traveling between
the center of Jakarta and Soekarno Hatta International Airport (SHIA) is
further constrained by the limited number of main routes available which likely
cannot be accommodated in the future by road based transport modes alone.
Hence, the airport needs to develop airport surface access to accommodate its
network. The aim of this research is to analyze the railway access system for
developing the system of SHIA using multi criteria analysis in the selection of
alternative route alignment of the railway line and a qualitative study in data
collection within the research design. Development of the criteria includes
technical, economic, environmental and spatial aspect. Three alternatives have
been proposed in this analysis, i.e. through West Jakarta, through North and
West Jakarta and through North and Central Jakarta. The results show that
alternative 3 (through North and Central Jakarta) can give implications to the
airport users, i.e. providing a high standard of the rail link in a well-timed
manner and a cost-effective public transport link. Improving the multi-modal access
to the airport will improve the supply of employment to business, lead to urban
regeneration around station locations, and improve Greater Jakarta Metropolitan
Area regional competitiveness.
