3.0 TRAFFIC SURVEY

3.1 Introduction

The performance of the current road facility in catering for the existing traffic
demand provides valuable information and vital for the traffic analysis. On this
account, it is necessary to undertake traffic surveys to ascertain the traffic demand
at the main and collector routes adjoining to the development area.

The traffic count surveys for this study were conducted on 24th, 25th and 26th of
October 2017; to obtain the traffic volume on Tuesday, Wednesday and Thursday
(24 hours). This was done to ascertain the pattern of the daily traffic volume and its
peak hour traffic period. Based on surveys analysis, the peak-hour traffic period for
the main road was determined.

3.2 Traffic Count Surveys

Traffic count surveys were conducted at junction location toward the proposed
development compound as shown in Figure 3.1.

The continuous traffic count surveys were expected to yield the following results: -

• Determine the existing traffic profile and demand along the main route.
• Assess the current traffic flow characteristics
• Ascertain the current vehicle composition to identify if there are any special
characteristics in terms of vehicle composition that needs to be catered for in
the recommendation of the future junction layout.
• Provide an overview on the current performance of the available routes in terms
of traffic volume analysis.

Existing traffic movements at the locality were also observed to determine the shifts
in traffic that will take place when the existing or whenever new access junctions are
utilized.

The traffic and movement counts involved manual enumeration of vehicles by their
respective classifications at fifteen minutes intervals as well as automated traffic
counting using Metrocount MC5600.

The classified counts were converted into their equivalent passenger car units (pcu).
This is to account for the different effects of the various vehicle types have influence
the traffic conditions. Thus, the converted pcu units were utilized in the process of
evaluating the level of traffic on the relevant roadways and junctions surveyed.

The adopted equivalent pcu factors for the vehicle categories are consistent with the
Jabatan Kerja Raya's Arahan Teknik 8/86 (Revision 2015) and Malaysian Highway
Capacity Manual as presented in Table 3.1 below.

Buses 2.08
Trailers 2.27

The future traffic demand was ascertained by incorporating an annual traffic growth
to the existing volumes. The existing directional traffic movements were also the
underlying basis from which the directional traffic distribution to and from the
proposed development was established. Figure 3.2 below shows the ATC setup at
site while Figure 3.3 shows the video recording device setup.

4.2 Level of Service Criteria

Existing road capacity is analyzed to determine existing operational performance

of the roads in the vicinity of the project site. Performance of the roads is
measured based upon the volume to capacity (V/C) ratio and level of service
(LOS).

Generally, the roadways in the vicinity of the site can be considered either as a
local or collector road whereby the acceptable volume to capacity ratio is between
0.70 to 0.90 that is the level of service between LOS 'C' and LOS 'D' as per Arahan
Teknik (Jalan) 8/86.The capacity of a road is calculated to determine the maximum
amount of traffic that can be accommodated by various sections of a road. The
capacity of a road is dependent upon several factors such as the carriageway
width, gradient of road, number of lanes road environment etc.

Table 4.1 describes the different operating conditions for various ranges of V/C
ratios and its associated level of service under urban conditions.

Table 4.1 Level of Service Table

LEVEL OF
REMARKS
SERVICE (LOS)
Free flow with individual users virtually unaffected by the presence of other vehicles in
A the traffic stream. This is a condition of free flow with low volume and high speed of
vehicle travel on the highways.

B Stable traffic flow with a high degree of freedom to select speed and operating condition
but with some influence from other users.

Restricted flow that remain stable but with significant interaction with others in the traffic
C stream. The general level of comfort and convenience decline noticeably at this level.
Speed and maneuverability are closely controlled by the higher volume. Most of the
drivers are restricted in their freedom to select their own speed, change lane or pass.
High density flow in which speed and freedom to maneuver are severyly restricted and
D comfort and convenience have decline even though flows remain stable. This level
represents unstable flow with operating speed being maintained, though considerably
affected by changes in operating condition.
Unstable flow at or near capacity levels with poor level of comfort and convenience. This
E
level represents operation at lower operating speed with volume at or near the capacity of
the highways. Flow is unstable and stoppage may occur for a momentary duration.
Forced traffic flow in which the amount of traffic approaching a point exceeds the amount
that can be served. LOS F is characterized by poor time travel with low comfort,
F convenience and increase in accident exposure. This condition describes a forced flow
operation at low speed where volumes are below the capacity. Speed is reduced
substantially and stoppage may occur for short or long periods of time because of
downstream traffic condition.

In an urban environment with reasonably comfortable traffic flow volumes,

normally the value range of LOS ‘A' to LOS 'D' is considered acceptable.

4.3 Evaluation and Analysis of Existing Traffic Conditions

The study has identified the existing traffic volume at junctions surrounding the
development area that may be used subsequently to provide working database and
basis information for further study on the Traffic Forecast and Analysis of Future
Scenario especially for the intended development.

Peak-hour Field traffic study have been conducted on Tuesday, Wednesday and
Thursday (Peak - Hour Survey Count) to obtain the site data and ascertain the
current level of service on the available routes. Figure 4.3 shows the variation of
traffic volume obtained at allocated census stations.

Three days continuous traffic count was conducted to ascertain the occurrence of
peak-hour traffic at the particular census station. Highest peak hour volume was
observed during morning, midday, and evening survey period, while been lower
along the rest of the day.

5.0 TRAFFIC FORECAST

5.1 Traffic Growth

The traffic impact analysis investigates the performance of the road during the
weekday periods. This is due to the land use that has been planned for the
proposed development.

The following factors were considered in forecasting the traffic demand for the
analysis:

• An annual traffic growth of 2.5% was used to gauge projection for road
planning and development (Referred to recommendation from RTVM 2015).

• An annual traffic growth of 2.5% was applied throughout the analysis.

• The analysis was conducted for a typical weekday (AM peak analysis)

• The analysis involves the completion of the proposed development.

• The trip generation of the developments those have been proposed.

• The distribution of the development traffic via proposed access and exit way.

5.2 Trip Generation

The estimation of trip generated and attracted to the proposed development was
based on trip rates for the designated land use. These trip rates were based on the
trip rates obtained from the Malaysian Trip Generation Manual, 2010 produced by
the Highway Planning Unit of Malaysia. Table 5.1 tabulates the trip rates used for
the designated land use proposed in the development.

Table 5.2 Trip Generation

Morning Peak period generates total of 601 trips while evening period shows 639
trips from the proposed development component. Analysis will be carried out on the
peak hour for critical situation.

5.3 Internal Trips

In evaluating the actual ingress-egress volumes, it is necessary to take into

consideration the self-contained concept of the proposed development. In other
words, the land use of the proposed development has been planned to interact and
co-exist. In traffic terms, this translates to the production of internal trips. Thus, the
analysis of the access junction needs to take into consideration the possibility of
internal trips from the trip generation exercise.

To account for the internal trips that would be generated and attracted within the
proposed development, for the housing units, it was assumed that 10% of the trips
generated from the proposed housing development unit would be internally bound.
In other words, the analysis assumes that 10% of all trips generated from the
proposed development would be attracted by the land use within the development or
immediately in adjacent (Shop Lots, Food Courts). It is believed that this would
adequately represent the internal trips generated and attracted within the proposed
development. On the other hand, for the commercial area, it was assumed that 30%
would be internally bound due to the location of shops and food courts plot inward,
closer to the development rather than being located by roadside, thus assumed to
served more toward internal and adjacent vicinity trips.

5.4 Trip Distribution

The traffic generated and attracted to the proposed development was then
distributed and assigned to the road network system to analyze their impact on
access junction leading to the proposed development. The traffic count surveys
provided the existing traffic pattern of the area.

The trip generated will be distributed through the existing junctions that provide the
connectivity to the bigger town network. Figure 5.1 shows the trip distribution from
the proposed development for both housing and commercial plots.

5.5 Trip Assignment

Trip assignment involves the determination of the amount of traffic that will use
certain routes of the road network. By taking into account the entry and exit points of
the development including the traffic from the existing housing areas to the exit-way,
the trips were assigned accordingly. The existing situation has been analyzed using
information obtained from the surveys. In assigning trips for future conditions the
following assumptions have been made; the distribution of traffic in and around the
study area will remain similar in the future; and drivers would choose the shortest
route available to reach their destination. Based on these assumptions and
incorporating the traffic growth factor, the future traffic scenario was analyzed and
the appropriate access layout is identified.

6.0 TRAFFIC ANALYSIS

6.1 Projected Traffic Volume

The analysis involves LOS projection upon the development and existing junctions.

The traffic forecasting exercise for the analysis has incorporated the following
considerations:

• An annual growth of 2.5% over the analysis period;

• The traffic distribution, taking into consideration the nature of route selection
relevant to the existing traffic movement.

From the analysis, the traffic projection shows the existing number of carriageway at
Jalan Jelapang – Ulu Chepor (A1) need to be upgraded to 4-lane Dual Carriageway
in order to maintain acceptable LOS. Table 6.1 deliberated the projected traffic
volume and Mid-Block Analysis over the years.

6.2 Trip Distribution and Assignment through Design Years

The traffic generated from the development are assigned and distributed to the
identified exit and entry point of the development. The generated traffic volume is
added to the projected traffic volume to represent the predicted volume of the
existing road. These volumes will later be evaluated to identify the traffic impact
assessment towards the proposed junctions through the design years (until 2029).

6.3 Traffic Analysis on Proposed Junction

The traffic analysis was conducted on selected routes based on the traffic
generation, the traffic growth and the trip distribution in the locality.

This junctions need to be designed to allow it to perform at a high level service. The
performance of the existing junction is evaluated in terms of queuing and degree of
saturation (v/c ratio), following which the level of service at which this junction would
operate can be ascertained. The analysis on the performance of the junction and the
efficiency of the recommended layout was determined using SIDRA.

The analysis on the junctions is conducted for the peak traffic hours during the
weekday for the development. The analysis on the performance of the signalized
junction was determined by considering a worst case between AM and PM peak
hour traffic.

Analysis summarized in Figure 6.1 through Figure 6.2 shows that J1 and J2 (Existing
Junction) need to be upgraded. Junction 3 is proposed to be closed due to being very
near to J2, while proposed J5 (New Junction) already can be provide the required
accessibility as a common junction. Junction 4 is proposed to be a left-in left-out junction
for safety.

In Figure 6.3, it shows that additional number of lane required at J5 to cater for the
projection years beyond 2029. However, periodic validation down the years on the actual
traffic projection and Level of Service is recommended for calibration.

7.2 Conclusion and Recommendation

The traffic impact assessment study has identified the projected traffic associated
with the proposed development and provides an evaluation on the impact of this
additional traffic on the existing and future road network.

The recommendations on the junction layout and lane configuration for the access
junctions have taken into consideration the various factors that affect the volume of
traffic. This includes the proposed developments, road links, junction upgrading and
the land use of the proposed development.

In summary it can be concluded, that the recommendations of the traffic impact

study are: -

1) The junctions under study, namely J1, J2, J3, J4 (Existing) and J5 (Proposed
Development Access) are analyzed against traffic projection and trip
generation by the development along the study period of 5 and 10 years.
(2019-completion, 2024, and 2029). The proposed upgrade and mitigation is
deliberated in Figure 6.1 through to 6.4.

2) Based on the projection of traffic growth along study route; Jalan Jelapang –
Ulu Chepor (A1), the midblock analysis shows the roadway capacity need to
be upgraded. (Table 6.1)

3) It is recommended that the propose upgrades and traffic mitigation proposals

to be shared between the committed developers for this area as per
JKR/Authority discretion.
