INTRODUCTION
Many cities around the world are still experiencing Congestion. Congestion is familiar in
countries that have large populations. Congestion has become a common problem the world faces
(Tanzina & Nita, 2020). There are many causes of Congestion ranging from insufficient road
capacity to accommodate the number of vehicles and road repairs to accidents. Traffic congestion
is a significant problem for the transport system. Traffic jams cause to travel to be hampered and
less effective (Metz, 2018). According to a source from The Economic Times News, in 2022, traffic
congestion in the United States jumped by about 7%. In 2021, some cities in the world experienced
an hourly increase in Congestion to the highest level, especially the city of Istanbul, Turkey
congestion rate reached 62%, measured according to the TomTom Traffic Index.
Indonesia itself is a country that is included in the top 5 rankings as the country with the
most Population, with a population of 276 million people. This has caused Indonesia not to escape
the problem of Congestion. With the high number of residents in an area, the transportation needs
will also be higher, which causes traffic to become congested. Congestion in Indonesia is often
also caused by traders selling on the side of the road, so many vehicles slow down their vehicles
or stop on the side of the road. Vehicles that stop on the side of the road will cause a buildup of

vehicles because the width of the road becomes smaller than the width of the road should be (Lia
& Nur, 2018).
One of the benchmarks for the success of a region is its economic growth. Although Batam
City got the nickname an industrial city, the nickname industrial city was pinned to the city of
Batam because the city of Batam has a variety of industries that encourage economic growth. The
economic collapse caused by the large number of industries in the city of Batam became a draw
for migrants looking for work. With the increase in the number of migrants, the need for vehicles
will also increase, this is also a trigger for Congestion on the streets of Batam City, especially
during peak hours, namely morning and evening (Saurabh, Siddharth, & Khushbu, 2018).
Jalan Gajah Mada is one arterial road in Sekupang District, Batam City. Jalan Gajah Mada
is often used to going to work and school. This has caused Jalan Gajah Mada to become one of the
congestion points in Batam. In addition, road widening work that narrows road sections further
adds to Congestion along Jalan Gajah Mada in the morning and evening (Saleh, Sugiarto, Hilal, &
Ariansyah, 2017). Jalan Gajah Mada is an uphill and downhill road. The large number of large-
load vehicles passing through this road causes Congestion because large-load vehicles will
experience a decrease in speed when going uphill (Xin, Yi. Z., Yong, & Yan, 2020).
This study aims to determine the effect of diverting traffic flow on road performance during
peak hours, namely in the morning or evening so that a policy can be determined whether the
traffic flow diversion policy is appropriately implemented. In addition, the diversion of traffic flow
is significant in untangling Congestion.
LITERATURE REVIEW
A road is a land transportation infrastructure that covers all parts of a road, including its
auxiliary buildings and equipment intended for traffic, which is at the ground and water level, and
above water; surface, except for railroads, lorries, and cable roads (Umam, Hardaningrum, &
Nasihien, 2021). In Indonesia, roads are categorized into National Roads, Provincial Roads,
Regency Roads, City Roads, and villages (Dinas Pekerjaan Umum).
Roads in Batam are included in the category of urban roads. An urban road is a road that
has a permanent and continuous development along all or almost all of the road, at least on one
side of the road, whether it is a land development or not, a road near the urban center with a
population of more than 100,000 inhabitants (F., Sugiarto, & Aprillia, 2017).
The Traffic flow is the number of vehicles calculated by the detector per unit of time is
called traffic flow and according to traffic demand (Ma, et al., 2017). Travel delay time,
Congestion occurs when normal traffic flow is disrupted by high vehicle density resulting in excess
travel time (Tanzina & Nita, 2020). In addition, vehicle overcrowding can occur due to a lack of
road capacity. Capacity is defined as the traffic flow supported on a particular section of a vehicle's
road (Adriansyah, Widodo, & Sulandari).
Traffic congestion is a widespread global phenomenon due to high population density, the
growth of motor vehicles, and their infrastructure. The most common definition of Congestion in
a state of traffic flow is when the travel demand exceeds the Capacity of the road (Tanzina & Nita,

Jalan Gajah Mada Development Project, Batam

2022
2020). Batam is an industrial city, one of the cities where Indonesians go to find work, and this
causes Batam City to have a reasonably high population.
Congestion can be measured by measuring vehicle speed and vehicle volume. Vehicle
volume is defined as the number of vehicles passing through a point on a highway, a given lane,
or the direction of a highway over a specific time interval (Anam, Sulandari, & Kadarini, 2018).
Comparing volume with road capacity is one way to measure Congestion with vehicle volume.
Vehicle speed can also be used as a traffic jam gauge (Jain, Jain, & Jain, 2017). Speed is the
distance of displacement in a unit of time. Speed units are expressed in km/h or m/s (Wirnanda,
Anggraini, & Isya, 2018). Road performance analysis of existing lane conditions includes
calculations of free current speed, road capacity, degree of saturation, actual speed, and service
level (Mufhidin, Karimah, Isradi, & Rifai, 2022).
There are two types of traffic jams, repeated Congestion and non-recurring Congestion.
Repetitive Congestion generally occurs in the same place at the same time every day. This is
generally a consequence of factors that act regularly or periodically on the transport system, such
as daily commutes or weekend trips. Recurring Congestion is predictable and usually occurs
during peak hours (Agyapong & Ojo, 2018). Congestion in the city can be caused by various
reasons, such as excess demand, signals, incidents, work zones, weather-related, or special events
(Tanzina & Nita, 2020). Various causes of Congestion have occurred in every country, especially
developing countries. Developing countries have a higher population, which leads to higher
demand for roads than road capacity.
Traffic jams can also occur due to road accidents. In Indonesia, driving accidents are still
very frequent. Road traffic accidents cause traffic jams (Milenković & Glavić, 2017). Road
accidents can cause Congestion caused by vehicles that reduce their speed so that there is a buildup
of vehicles. The exact location of the accident above the road body will reduce the Capacity of the
road, and this is also the cause of Congestion. Inadequate infrastructure is one of the most common
reasons for Congestion, especially in densely populated areas. Due to the higher population rate,
the number of existing vehicles is also getting higher and higher. The increase in the number of
vehicles will cause Congestion if the infrastructure is not upgraded (Isradi, Nareswari, Rifai, &
Prasetijo, 2021). This is what causes infrastructure to be the cause of Congestion.
Infrastructure development, such as widening roads and bridges, and the creation of
culverts, can lead to a reduction in the number or width of roads (Tanzina & Nita, 2020). The
construction area will combine the use of the road with construction activities, which will cause
delays or Congestion (Goswamy, 2019). Maintenance will usually reduce one or more lanes during
road widening or road. Changes in environmental or weather conditions can affect traffic flow and
driver condition behavior caused by bad weather; about 28% of all highway accidents and 19% of
all deaths occur (Tanzina & Nita, 2020). When the weather is rainy, most people use car
transportation, and the large number of people who use cars will increase the density of the road,
which causes delays.
An optimal work zone schedule with effective traffic management strategies, such as traffic
diversion and managed lanes, can significantly reduce Congestion's impact, subsequently

improving system performance (Zhao, Chien, & Du, 2019). Before choosing a route to be used as
a diversion of traffic flow, it is necessary to conduct an in-depth evaluation of traffic performance
so that the problems that arise can be the best solution (Maya, 2020).
METHOD
The systematic scientific research process must begin with identifying the right problem
(Rifai, Hadiwardoyo, Correia, & Pereira, 2016). Therefore, the research was conducted on the
section of Jl. Gajah Mada, Batam, starting from Pura Agung to the Taman Kota housing complex,
which has a length of 1 km (Figure 1).
Figure 1. Research Location
This research is carried out directly, namely a survey of the location. The thing that needs
to be considered during the survey is the volume of vehicles that occur on Jalan Gajah Mada during
peak hours (Figure 2). The method used in this study is quantitative. Data is one of the main
strengths in compiling scientific research and modeling (Rifai, Hadiwardoyo, Correia, Pereira, &
Cortez, The data mining applied for predicting highway roughness due to overloaded trucks,
2015). The data used in this study consisted of primary data and secondary data. The primary data
is in the form of location conditions, road dimensions, number and speed of vehicles. At the same
time, the secondary data needed is map location, population data, and land usethe location
chosen by the research on the performance analysis of Jalan Gajah Mada Baloi, Batam.

Then the value of Jalan Gajah Mada capacity is 6400 pcu/hour. The degree of saturation
(DS) is defined as the current ratio to Capacity on a given section of the road. Used as the main
factor in the determination of the level of performance of intersections and road segments. Guided
by IHCM 1997, Jalan Gajah Mada has a saturation degree value of 2.08 (Departemen Pekerjaan

The purpose of traffic engineering in road development in Batam is to obtain or provide
traffic conditions that are as smooth and safe as possible. In addition, it is hoped that without
adding high costs to improving the movement of people, goods, and services with the existing
geometric and traffic conditions through a system of arrangements, arrangements, and regulations.
This analysis is to find traffic management alternatives that result in better road network
performance than actual conditions. Of the alternatives analyzed, four alternatives provide positive
results for improving the performance of the road network in general. In addition, there are even
alternatives that can reduce the value of the degree of traffic saturation by up to several percent. In

the end, two alternatives are selected that produce the best and most stable performance during the
planning period.
CONCLUSION
Jalan Gajah Mada has a service level value of road C, so the Jalan Gajah Mada section has
a stable traffic flow with vehicle speed influenced by vehicle volume. The diversion of traffic flow
is considered quite effective in unraveling Congestion on Jalan Gajah Mada. This is indicated by
the vehicle speed value that increases during the enactment of the diversion of traffic flow. Jalan
Gajah Mada has a relatively good level of road service. The vehicle speed at the diversion of traffic
flow is 48.78 Km/h, and the speed before the diversion of traffic flow is 26.16 Km/h. Some
alternatives can reduce the value of the degree of traffic saturation by up to several percent. In the
end, two alternatives are selected that produce the best and most stable performance during the
planning period.

The significant population growth and industrial expansion have intensified the ecological footprint of water resources and led to the overexploitation of natural resources. This has resulted in various environmental challenges, including the urban heat island effect, altered hydrological patterns, water resource depletion, and severe climatic events like urban flooding. To address these issues, rainwater harvesting, reclamation, and reuse methods are proposed as additional water resources. This study aims to identify and prioritize potential risks associated with urban rainwater harvesting to enhance the ecological footprint of these projects throughout their lifecycle. Data was gathered through semi-structured interviews with professionals to uncover risks tied to urban rainwater collection systems. Thematic analysis was conducted to identify key risk factors. To identify and prioritize these risks, the study employed ‘Interpretive Structural Modelling’ (ISM) and ‘Cross-Impact Matrix Multiplication Applied to Classification’ (MICMAC) techniques. The study highlights several potential risks linked to urban rainwater collection systems. Through thematic analysis, essential risk factors were identified, and the ISM and MICMAC techniques provided a structured approach to understanding their interrelationships and importance. The findings offer a model for managing and mitigating risks in urban rainwater harvesting systems, contributing to more sustainable urban water resources management. By prioritizing these risks, the study offers actionable insights for stakeholders in urban planning and water resource management, supporting the effective and safe implementation of rainwater harvesting projects in urban areas. This research ultimately contributes to more sustainable practices in managing urban water resources.

In recent years, with major cities turning to the stock development stage, the development and construction of underground space has gradually become an important strategy for sustainable urban development. The construction of underground passages at freight transport hubs will help the separation of passenger and cargo, which will greatly alleviate urban traffic jam and improve transport efficiency. However, due to the restriction on urban land use and construction cost, it is difficult to achieve gentle slope design for all of underground passages, longitudinal slopes with large gradient are unavoidable. Generally, trucks have quite large gross weight, its uphill speed reduction and downhill brake disc temperature rise would affect road capacity and traffic safety greatly. Therefore, it is quite necessary to propose optimal design of longitudinal slopes given the consideration of truck dynamic performance and its driving safety. Truck models were established in TruckSim, they were used to simulate vehicle driving status uphill and downhill then. Speed reduction and brake disc temperature rise were used to obtain suitable slope gradient and length based on simulation. It was concluded that slope gradient and vehicle output power ratio have great influence on truck climbing ability. Using speed reduction of 20 km/h between vehicle uphill original speed and its stable uphill speed for reference, the maximum slope length for uphill with different gradient could be obtained. Slope gradient and vehicle gross weight have giant impact on brake disc temperature rise. Using brake disc temperature of 200 and 260 °C for reference, suitable slope length for downhill with different gradient were obtained.
