Penerapan metode Webster untuk sistem pengaturan lampu lalu lintas di Simpang Empat Semplak Bogor

Abstract

Currently, the traffic light control system is still using a fixed time system. This system would result the traffic jams because the number of vehicles in a lane is different with a same duration of green time-lamp. The Webster method uses the concept of minimizing delay time per vehicle as an optimum cycle time equation to calculate the traffic time-lamp based on density of vehicles and width of road. This method was used to overcome the traffic jam at Semplak junction, Bogor. Based on the number of data and the width of road, the Webster method results the duration of the green time-lamp is lower than the actual green timelamp at the Semplak junction. The differences shows that the green time-lamp traffic in the Semplak junction, can be optimized in order to decrease the average delay for all vehicles passing through the intersection.
