The traffic flow forecasting is very important aspect of traffic predication and congestion. It alleviates the increasing congestion problems that cause drivers to shorten the travelling duration required and prevent financial loss. Increasing congestion is one of the severe problems in big city areas. The aspect of traffic prediction is that it may give drivers to plan their traveling time and traveling path, based on the predictive data information they have. The aim is to design locally weighted regression model by proposing a method, which is a combination of Genetic algorithm and locally weighted regression method. This model helps to achieve optimal prediction performance under various traffic condition parameters. The time series model is used to predict the forecast value for the accurate assumption of the traffic volume generation according to the road capacity. The GA model results show these kind of predictions always be useful for highway road authorities.

Abstract The SGM signalized intersection in the city of Yogyakarta is a junction with high traffic volume and has the potential to cause traffic congestion. This study aims to analyze the performance of this intersections and es-timate costs due to congestion that occurs. This study was performed by conducting a field survey to determine the geometric conditions, traffic volume, cycle time, and vehicle speed. The data obtained are then analyzed and modeled using Vissim 10 software. The intersection performance indicator considered is the queue length and level of service. The calculation of congestion costs using indicators of vehicle numbers, vehicle operating costs, spot speed, desired speed, travel time value, and queue time. The results of the observation showed that the performance of the SGM signalized intersection in Yogyakarta was very poor, with the level of service F at peak hours, so that repairs need to be done. In this study, the recommended solution consists of 2 alternatives, namely alternative 1, by changing the phase, and alternative 2, by widening the road. The results of the analysis show that alternative 2 provides the best solution to improve performance and reduce congestion costs at the intersection. Keywords: signal intersection, congestion costs, service level, intersection performance, queue  Abstrak Simpang bersinyal SGM di Kota Yogyakarta merupakan suatu simpang dengan volume lalu lintas tinggi dan berpotensi menimbulkan kemacetan lalu lintas.

Automated vehicles (AVs) are believed to have great potential to improve the traffic capacity and efficiency of the current transport systems. Despite positive findings of the impact of AVs on traffic flow and potential road capacity increase for highways, few studies have been performed regarding the impact of AVs on urban roads. Moreover, studies considering traffic volume increase with a mixture of AVs and human-driven vehicles (HDVs) have rarely been conducted. Therefore, this study investigated the impact of gradual increments of AV penetration and traffic volume on urban roads. The study adopted a microsimulation approach using VISSIM with a Wiedmann 74 model for car-following behavior. Parameters for AVs were set at the SAE level 4 of automation. A real road network was chosen for the simulation having 13 intersections in a total distance of 4.5 km. The road network had various numbers of lanes from a single lane to five lanes in one direction. The network consists of a main arterial road and a parallel road serving nearby commercial and residential blocks. In total, 36 scenarios were investigated by a combination of AV penetrations and an increase in traffic volumes. The study found that, as AV penetration increased, traffic flow also improved, with a reduction of the average delay time of up to 31%. Also, as expected, links with three or four lanes had a more significant impact on the delay. In terms of road capacity increase, when the penetration of AVs was saturated at 100%, the road network could accommodate 40% more traffic.

Abstract Traffic congestion at an intersection could be caused by the volume of vehicles that exceed the road capacity, the duration of the green light that is fixed, and so on. The volume of vehicles per unit time at an intersection cannot be known with certainty. Therefore, we need to predict it using fuzzy logic, specifically the Mamdani fuzzy implications. The problems are as follows: how are the input variables to be analyzed with Mamdani fuzzy implications; how are the prediction results, and how is the accuracy based on MAPE. The case study was conducted at two intersections in Semarang City. The tests were carried out using Matlab and manual calculations. The input variables in traffic volume prediction are MC, LV, HV, and time. While the input in the prediction of the duration of the green light is the number of motorcycles and cars. Based on the predictions, there are 74 vehicles (per hour) at the Kaligarang intersection in the east-north direction, there are 111 vehicles at the Kariadi intersection in the south-north direction, and the predictions are good and very accurate (measured by MAPE). The duration of the green light at the Kaligarang intersection on the west approach is 86 seconds, the duration on the Kariadi intersection on the north approach is 81 seconds, and the predictions are good and very accurate.

Background: Intersections affect the safety and capacity of urban traffic. Therefore, the design and selection of the type of intersection need to be made very carefully. According to the demand level, a different intersection can be designed. Signalized intersections are one of the intersection types in which the sequence and duration of the flow at the intersection are provided by the lights. Generally, this type of intersection is used on roads with high traffic volume. Modern roundabouts are one of the types of circular intersections that provide advantages over other types of intersection in terms of smooth operation and safety. Modern roundabouts exist in several types today worldwide. In practice, the distinction about the kinds of roundabouts would not be fully clarified; as a result, queuing and delay can be seen as negative effects. Methods: In this study, to make a distinction and clarify the kinds of roundabouts, first, the roundabouts types are introduced according to geometric and operational aspects. A signalized intersection, where a circular island is placed and also signalized, was investigated in terms of capacity, delay, and emissions located in Niğde. The traffic flow performance of the current state (nested signalized roundabout) was calculated with HCM Method (for signalized intersection) using SIDRA and compared with roundabout solutions of the intersection with HCM6 (for roundabout) method using SIDRA Intersection analysis software. Results: From the results of the intersection capacity analysis study based on HCM6, it was seen that the application of a roundabout scenario (intersection considered as a modern roundabout) showed higher performance at the intersections than the intersection having a secondary signal. Capacity increased to 67.8%, the average delay decreased to 72.8% and 95th percentile queue dropped to 82.2%. Conclusion: Roundabout controlling instead of a nested signal system can be an example of the increase in the performance of traffic flow. This highlights the importance of choosing the appropriate roundabout design.
