THE BOGOR BUS STATION RELOCATION IMPACT ANALYSIS TO THE BOGOR OUTER RING ROAD (BORR) AND PANGERAN SOGIRI STREET PERFORMANCE
Abstract: As the main bus
station in Bogor, West Java, Baranangsiang bus station is currently located in
the crowded city centre, near many offices, campuses and department stores.
There is a plan of Bogor’s Dinas Perhubungan Komunikasi dan Informasi (Diskominfo)
to relocate the bus station to the new location in the Pangeran Sogiri Street
in Tanah Baru area, near the newly built toll road, the Bogor Outer Ring Road
(BORR).This research is conducted to analyze the traffic performance impact of
the relocation plan of the bus station to the BORR network and the Pangeran
Sogiri Street.
The traffic data is obtained from the field survey in the Baranangsiang
bus station and the BORR network. Some other secondary data are obtained from
the Dinas Lalu Lintas and Angkutan Jalan (DLLAJ) Bogor city. Based on the
obtained data, a micro simulation model is built by using Aimsun traffic micro
simulation program. The analysis is conducted in three traffic performance
parameters; the traffic density, speed, and vehicles queue length.
With respect to the analysis result, the relocation causes a serious
traffic problem to the BORR network and the P. Sogiri Street. To minimize the
problem caused by the relocation, three scenarios are proposed and thus
simulated based on the findings and observed traffic problems. The first
proposed scenario is conducted by widening the P. Sogiri Street and providing a
4-4 toll payment gate system to the BORR. This first scenario is able to reduce
traffic problem in some sections, but the average network density, speed and
queue length are still high by 132%, -54%, and 200% respectively compared to
the existing condition. The second scenario is conducted by widening the P.
Sogiri Street and providing a 5-3 toll gate system. This second scenario is
also able to reduce traffic problem in most sections, but the average network
density, speed and queue length are still high by 248%, -70%, and 95%
respectively compared to the main bus station before the relocation. The third
scenario is conducted by widening the P. Sogiri into 4 lanes, providing a 4-3
toll gate system, and providing a new access from/to P. Sogiri Street to Bogor
city direction. The simulation result shows that the third scenario is
considered as the best scenario since in this scenario, the density, speed and
queue length are relatively similar compared to the existing condition.
