| Abstract | On section of road often more than one u-turn median opening that operates, but sometimes this make long queue in some periods time. It's causing many factors like oncoming speed and maneuver that make waiting time. Basicaly, no procedure or guideline for u-turn sections design. The attempted to find the optimal approach regarding acceptances gap that occurs at U-turn median opening and the appropriate application criteria for the road that use U-turn median opening based on the capacity and traffic demand existing in the u-turn median opening. Gap acceptances influential for operational of U-tum, where the vehicle while performing maneuvers will decrease the speed of vehicles. The different of speed can cause delays and queuing in the U-turn area. The evaluation of the delay and travel time will provide to know the performance of the U-turn median opening. The purpose of this study is to evaluation the performance of U-turn median opening with study case at Burlian Road, Palembang, Indonesia. The specific objectives in this study are to find the operational performance of U-turn movement by delay and travel time analysis by HCM 2000 and to evaluate the performance of U-turn using Vissim Simulation program. Vissim Simulation used for simulated 10 difference of width median opening. Simulated case study using Vissim simulation with 10 different of width median opening showed in narrow width median opening will make major delay and the high of travel time. The travel time would lower with an increasingly the width of median opening. Simulation showed that travel time and delay slight differences when the width of median openi ng large than 8 m. |
