Abstract

The performance of traffic flow on Brigjend Hasan Basri Road, Banjarmasin City especially near the Pertamina Kayu Tangi gas Station Area is influenced by the queue of trucks consisting of 4-15 trucks or ±150 m long, thus creating congestion. Analysis of the influence of truck queue vehicles was carried out to obtain traffic performance affected by truck queues and without truck queues, as well as compare the two analysis results. The method of data collection is carried out by observation and direct recording. Data analysis was carried out using conventional methods (Greenshield, Greenberg, and Underwood) and the best model was obtained, namely the Greenshield model. Based on the calculation results, there was a decrease in the maximum Flow by 10.16%, the free flow speed decreased by 19.41% and the maximum density increased by 11.48%. The result of the calculation of the Level of Service, for road conditions without a queue of trucks that have a saturation degree value of > 0.8 occurs in the range of 15.10 – 16.40 Central Indonesian Time and the hour range of 16.30 – 18.00 CIT (zone). As for the condition with the queue of trucks occurring in the range of 14.50 – 18.00 CIT (zone)..
