Abstract :
Patal - Pusri Intersection is one of the
intersections in Palembang with heavy traffic flow and
frequent traffic jams. The existence of Underpass
construction, apparently could not be a complete
solution to unravel traffic congestion. The purpose of
this research is to analyze five alternative scenario plans
to disentangled the vehicle density, congestion, and
reduce pollution from exhaust emissions caused by
vehicle density. This research was conducted using
VISSIM Microsimulation Program assistance to
simulate existing alternative scenarios and to analyze
the effect of these alternative scenarios on reducing
vehicle exhaust emissions using the EnViVer Program
assistance. The results showed that the fifth alternative
scenario as the flyover construction, geometric changes
at the intersection’s leg crossing, and traffic lights
rearrangement became the most effective alternative
and was able to parse vehicle density and traffic
congestion, and was able to reduce exhaust emissions by
32.36%. This was shown by the reduction in queue
length by 44% and the delay times by 57.05%, and the
reduction in exhaust emissions in the form of carbon
dioxide (CO2) by 35.5%, nitrogen oxides (NOx) by
43%, and particulate matter (PM10) ) by 18.6% at the
intersection significantly.
