SATURATION FLOWS AT SIGNALISED INTERSECTIONS IN A MEDIUM SIZED CITIES: A CASE STUDY IN INDONESIA

Methods of controlling traffic flows at intersections in developed countries are not always applicable to the conditions in most developing countries. Conditions in Indonesia also vary from city to city. The paper describes a method of measuring local saturation flow rates through several major signalised intersections in Maenad, a city with a population of some 320 000. Results from observations from morning and afternoon peak periods and midday are used in the TRB USHCM-83 and IHCM-93 models together with an ideal saturation flow rate. It is suggested that differences in predicted and measured values may be due to driver characteristics or a bias caused by the lack of road markings at the intersections.
