Performance Analysis of Road Capacity for the Plan to Relocate On-Street Parking to off-Street Parking (Case Study on Jalan Panglima Sudirman, Bojonegoro Regency)

Abstract

Increased economic activity in urban areas often creates new challenges in transportation management, especially regarding parking. On the Panglima Sudirman road section of Bojonegoro Regency, the existing condition is that there is a lot of on-street parking, this causes the level of service on the road to decline. This research aims to determine changes in road capacity, impacts on road performance with the transfer of on-street parking to off-street parking. The research method uses a quantitative approach with descriptive and comparative analysis methods to evaluate road performance before and after the transfer of on-street parking to off-street. The research results show that the plan to move on-street parking to off-street on Jalan Panglima Sudirman, Bojonegoro, resulted in an increase in road capacity of 290 pcu/hour, from 2,639 pcu/hour to 2,929 pcu/hour. Road performance, based on Level of Service (LOS), increased from 0.48 to 0.44, accompanied by an increase in average vehicle speed time from 35 km/hour to 43 km/hour.  The findings highlight the significance of effective parking management strategies in enhancing urban road performance. Implementing off-street parking solutions can significantly improve road capacity, reduce congestion, and enhance travel efficiency. These results can serve as a reference for policymakers in formulating traffic management strategies to optimize urban mobility and minimize the negative impacts of on-street parking on road performance. Future research may explore the socioeconomic effects of parking policy changes on businesses and residents in the affected areas.
