Queues and Delays at Signalized Intersections, Indonesian Experience

To predict queues and delays at signalized intersections in Indonesia, the 1997 Indonesian Highway Capacity Manual (IHCM) has been widely used. However, the queue length at signalized intersections predicted by the IHCM was usually over the value. The aim of this research was, therefore, to improve the IHCM formula to calculate the queue length at signalized intersections. Traffic surveys have been carried out at various signalized intersections in some Indonesian cities. The measured queues have been compared to the IHCM predicted queues. The IHCM formula has been calibrated by trial and error method in such a way that there was no significant difference between the predicted and the measured queues. A new improved saturation flow formula has been recommended to be used for calculating the queue length and delay. It has also been recommended to reduce the passenger car equivalent for the motorcycle.
