KINERJA LALU LINTAS PADA RUAS JALAN SATU ARAH (STUDI KASUS JL. SUNAN KUDUS KABUPATEN KUDUS)

Introduction

Kinerja lalu lintas pada ruas jalan satu arah (studi kasus jl. Sunan kudus kabupaten kudus). Analisis kinerja lalu lintas pada ruas jalan satu arah Jl. Sunan Kudus, Kabupaten Kudus setelah pembangunan Fly Over Ganefo Mranggen. Studi ini mengidentifikasi kemacetan, tingkat pelayanan, dan solusi strategi.

Abstract

The high mobility of the people and traffic due to the existence of a railroad crossing on the Mranggen road section is the main factor for the high congestion that exists on this section. The government's efforts through the Central Java Office of Public Works and Human Settlements to build the Ganefo Mranggen KM 14 Fly Over is an alternative solution to tackling the high traffic jams on this section. Therefore, researchers will identify how the performance of the Mranggen road section after the construction of the Fly Over. After conducting research, it was found that the busiest traffic was on Wednesday at 16.00-16.15 with a total flow value of 883.3 pcu/hour. The degree of saturation is 0.962 > 0.75, which exceeds the requirements of the 1997 MKJI guidelines. If the value of the degree of saturation > 0.75 requires improvement, then the degree of saturation is included in the category E service level with conditions of very high traffic density and low volume. The highest side resistance value on this section is 906.8 where the time interval is 06.00-09.00 WIB with the VH Resistance Class (906.8> 900) which means commercial area, with roadside market activity. So that alternative solutions can be found using SWOT calculations where it is known that the segment is in a position between the Weakness and Opportunity axes, namely in quadrant 4. This means that the Ganefo Mranggen Fly Over segment is advised to change the strategy from internal Weaknesses So that the strategy is changed to Opportunity ( external Opportunity) in order to achieve good traffic performance on the Ganefo Mranggen Km 14 Fly Over section.

Review

This paper aims to evaluate the traffic performance on the Mranggen road section following the construction of the Ganefo Mranggen KM 14 Fly Over, a project initiated to alleviate severe congestion primarily caused by a railroad crossing. The abstract details an assessment revealing high traffic flow, particularly on Wednesdays, leading to a degree of saturation (0.962) that exceeds the 1997 MKJI guidelines. This indicates a very high traffic density and Category E service level, despite an ambiguous mention of "low volume." The study also identifies high side resistance, particularly during morning hours due to commercial and market activities. The abstract concludes with a strategic recommendation derived from a SWOT analysis, placing the segment in Quadrant 4, suggesting a shift from internal weaknesses towards external opportunities to improve traffic performance. While addressing a practical and relevant urban planning issue, the paper suffers from a critical inconsistency between its title and abstract. The title, "KINERJA LALU LINTAS PADA RUAS JALAN SATU ARAH (STUDI KASUS JL. SUNAN KUDUS KABUPATEN KUDUS)", explicitly states the study is on a *one-way road* in *Jl. Sunan Kudus*, Kudus Regency. However, the abstract exclusively discusses the *Mranggen road section* and the *Ganefo Mranggen Fly Over*, making no mention of Jl. Sunan Kudus or a one-way street configuration. This fundamental discrepancy immediately raises concerns about the scope and focus of the research presented. Furthermore, the abstract would benefit from more detailed methodological information regarding data collection and analysis techniques. While findings like degree of saturation are presented, the interpretation of "low volume" within a Category E service level (very high density) is contradictory and requires clarification. The SWOT analysis outcome, advising a shift from "internal weaknesses" to "external opportunity," is a generic conclusion that lacks specific actionable recommendations derived directly from the traffic performance analysis. Given the significant mismatch between the title and abstract, it is imperative that the authors clarify the true subject and scope of their research. Assuming the abstract correctly reflects the study, the title needs immediate revision to reflect the focus on the Mranggen road section and its flyover. Before publication, the paper should provide a clearer exposition of its methodology, including how traffic data was collected and analyzed, and how the SWOT analysis was applied to yield specific, relevant strategies. The contradictory statement regarding "low volume" and "very high traffic density" for a Category E service level also needs to be rectified for clarity and accuracy. Addressing these points would substantially enhance the paper's scientific rigor and readability, allowing its valuable insights into congestion management around the flyover to be properly assessed.
