ABSTRACT

The increasing population in Jember district has caused the higher needs of transportation facilities in Jember, particularly on train as a public transportation. The increase can be seen by the number of passengers in Daop 9 Jember. By 2015, the number of train passengers in Jember Station which originally amounted 640.000 passengers increased to 800.000 passengers by 2016 (increase about 20%). PT. KAI is planning to develop Jember Station in order to provide convenience and better service for train passengers. Jember Station development will result in changes of traffic flow around the station, so that traffic simulations due to this station development need to be done. Traffic simulations were done by creating scenarios of traffic flow around Jember Station, until the intersection performance of this area can be known. In this study, the method used to collect traffic volume data and inventory is by direct survey on field. In the calculation of intersection performance and traffic simulation, the method used is MKJI (Indonesian Highway Capacity Manual) 1997. After the analysis was conducted, the obtained intersection performance data in road network around Jember Station was very diverse. On signalized intersection, the highest intersection performance was located in SMPN 2 Jember intersection from eastern intersection in Bedadung street with Level of Service (LoS) F. Whereas on unsignalized intersection, the highest intersection performance was located in Hotel Nusantara intersection with Level of Service (LoS) C. Then, in order to obtain a better intersection performance in road network around Jember Station after development, a traffic management was done with : setting the traffic flow, installation of traffic signs on the road network, and also resetting the traffic light in signalized intersection. After the traffic management was conducted, there was a better level of service on both signalized and unsignalized intersection around Jember Station, which means the recommended traffic scenarios are proper to be implemented.
