TRANSPORTATION NETWORK ANALYSIS TO SUPPORT PALM OIL BASED INDUSTRY DEVELOPMENT IN SUMATERA ECONOMIC CORRIDOR

Abstract

ABSTRACT Optimum transportation network would accelerate regional economic growth. The essence of development of economic corridor is how to enhance link among hub to key industry nodes and supporting infrastructure. The aim of this paper is to analyze transportation network to support Sumatera Economic Corridor (SEC) which contained of typology analysis, capacity analysis and optimization analysis of the network. Methods were employed respectively minimum spanning tree, maximum flow and goal programming. Conclusions of the research are (1) typology of network which was identified to support SEC development optimally, (2) the comparison between maximum flow and milling capacity were above 75 %. And (3) by added some goal to previous analysis, provided information that comparison between maximum flow and milling capacity was not difference significantly.
