The effect of Bogor Tram station construction plan towards pedestrian level of service around Baranangsiang terminal area

With the ongoing development plan for the Bogor Tram, an increase in pedestrian traffic is expected. An evaluation process is necessary to meet the needs of pedestrians once the tram has been constructed. By analyzing real data on pedestrian volume and movement patterns, this evaluation will help identify areas that require improved pedestrian facilities. The goal is to create a safer, more comfortable, and accessible environment for pedestrians while enhancing the connectivity between the tram system and pedestrian facilities. The pedestrian Level of Service in the Baranangsiang Terminal area falls under the category of LOS A, where pedestrians can travel safely and comfortably. However, a reevaluation of the available facilities still needs to be conducted. The issue identified is that the majority of pedestrians directly cross the road and do not use the pedestrian overpass as they find it too far. Therefore, in order to improve facilities for pedestrians using the transportation services, the addition of efficient and disability-friendly pelican crossings is being implemented. This research is conducted using PTV Vissim as the main software tool for modeling the system. Certain adjustments are done to make the model run exactly like on field such as changing walking behavior parameter and adding vehicle along Jalan Raya Pajajaran road. Thus, the output provided in this study is pedestrian facilities that are suitable based on the scenario of the tram when it operates in the future. In conclusion, the ongoing development plan for the Bogor Tram in Indonesia is expected to increase pedestrian traffic. To enhance pedestrian facilities and address the issue of pedestrians not utilizing the existing pedestrian overpass, the addition of efficient and disability-friendly pelican crossingsis proposed.
