    1 DAY WORKSHOP ON URBAN TRANSPORTATION IN PJ

    - Engaging Local Community Participation for Sustainable Urban Transport Solutions


    3 December 2013 at MBPJ Banquet Hall, Petaling Jaya
    Jointly organized by the Institution of Engineers Malaysia and Majlis Bandaraya Petaling Jaya

    Paper 1: Functionality of
    Traffic Impact Assessment Study
    REAM Guidelines for TIA
    presented by:

    Ir Chin Kar Keong

    Chairman Highway & Transport Engineering Technical Division IEM &


    Managing Director of Atur Trafik Sdn Bhd

    Main Topics Covered


    i) Traffic Impact Assessment as decision
    making/planning tools,
    ii) Use of traffic modeling/analytics

    What is Traffic Engineering?

    A branch of civil engineering that uses engineering techniques to achieve


    the safe and efficient movement of people and goods on roadways. It
    focuses mainly on research for safe and efficient traffic flow, such
    as road geometry, sidewalks and crosswalks, segregated cycle
    facilities, shared lane marking, traffic signs, road surface
    markings and traffic lights.

    Traffic engineering deals with the functional part of transportation system,


    except the infrastructures provided. It is closely associated with other
    disciplines:

    Transport engineering
    Pavement engineering
    Bicycle transportation engineering
    Highway engineering
    Transportation planning
    Urban planning
    Human factors engineering.

    Typical Role of Traffic Engineer


    designs traffic control device installations and
    modifications, including traffic signals, signs, and pavement
    markings
    considers traffic safety by investigating locations with high
    crash rates and developing countermeasures to reduce
    crashes
    prepares short-term traffic flow management plans (e.g.
    construction traffic control plans, including detour plans for
    pedestrian and vehicular traffic)
    prepares long-term traffic flow management plans
    (estimating the impacts of proposed commercial
    developments on traffic patterns)
    develops systems for intelligent transportation systems

    Level of Service (LOS) based on HCM


    A: free flow. Traffic flows at or above the posted
    speed limit and motorists have complete
    mobility between lanes. The average spacing
    between vehicles is about 167m or 27 car
    lengths. Motorists have a high level of physical
    and psychological comfort. The effects of
    incidents or point breakdowns are easily
    absorbed. LOS A occurs late at night in urban
    areas, frequently in rural areas, and generally in
    car advertisements.

    Level of Service (LOS)


    B: reasonably free flow. LOS A speeds are
    maintained, maneuverability within the traffic
    stream is slightly restricted. The lowest
    average vehicle spacing is about 100m or 16
    car lengths. Motorists still have a high level of
    physical and psychological comfort.

    Level of Service (LOS)


    C: stable flow, at or near free flow. Ability to maneuver
    through lanes is noticeably restricted and lane changes
    require more driver awareness. Minimum vehicle
    spacing is about 67m or 11 car lengths. Most
    experienced drivers are comfortable, roads remain
    safely below but efficiently close to capacity, and posted
    speed is maintained. Minor incidents may still have no
    effect but localized service will have noticeable effects
    and traffic delays will form behind the incident. This is
    the target LOS for some urban and most rural highways.

    Level of Service (LOS)


    D: approaching unstable flow. Speeds slightly
    decrease as traffic volume slightly increase. Freedom
    to maneuver within the traffic stream is much more
    limited and driver comfort levels decrease. Vehicles
    are spaced about 50m or 8 car lengths. Minor
    incidents are expected to create delays. Examples are
    a busy shopping corridor in the middle of a weekday,
    or a functional urban highway during commuting
    hours. It is a common goal for urban streets during
    peak hours, as attaining LOS C would require
    prohibitive cost and societal impact in bypass roads
    and lane additions.

    Level of Service (LOS)


    E: unstable flow, operating at capacity. Flow becomes
    irregular and speed varies rapidly because there are
    virtually no usable gaps to maneuver in the traffic
    stream and speeds rarely reach the posted limit.
    Vehicle spacing is about 6 car lengths, but speeds are
    still at or above 80 km/h. Any disruption to traffic
    flow, such as merging ramp traffic or lane changes,
    will create a shock wave affecting traffic upstream.
    Any incident will create serious delays. Drivers' level
    of comfort become poor. This is a common standard
    in larger urban areas, where some roadway
    congestion is inevitable.

    Level of Service (LOS)


    F: forced or breakdown flow. Every vehicle
    moves in lockstep with the vehicle in front of
    it, with frequent slowing required. Travel time
    cannot be predicted, with generally more
    demand than capacity. A road in a constant
    traffic jam is at this LOS, because LOS is an
    average or typical service rather than a
    constant state.
