DISCUSSION

Based on the survey that had been done, we discovered the performance of the
intersection that have been chosen which is at the Jalan Ilmu 1/1 near the Mawar College in
UiTM Shah Alam. At the junction, there are 4 movements of vehicles as described in the result
above. First of all, the 4th movement is found to be the highest total vehicles per hour which is
608 vph and the lowest is at the 2nd movement which is 159 vph. That sums up the highest
volume capacity at the 4th movement which is 474 pcph and at the 2nd movement to be the lowest
which is 129 pcph. This is due to the smooth flow or path at the 4th movement as the direction is
only a straight line but at the 2nd movement, the vehicles have to turn right which crossing the
oppose road that already has a lot of vehicles movement, thus make it difficult to turn through it.
On the analysis of the T intersection, the actual capacity for the 1st movement is 710 pcph
which is more than the 2nd movement which is 465 pcph. The major difference in this actual
capacity is because of the high conflicting flow at the 2nd movement that involved 3rd movement
and also the 4th movement. The 3rd movement is an oppose direction or flow to the 2nd
movement, thus making it the most difficult turn to pass through it. Meanwhile, at the 1st
movement, there is only 3rd movement involved in the conflicting flow and it is also the same
path and direction to the 1st movement of vehicles, thus resulted the lower conflicting flow than
2nd movement.
From all the important data and analysis that being calculated, the last part to be
determined is of course the Level of Service (LOS). LOS for the 1st movement is A, for the 2nd
movement is B, for the 3rd movement is C and for the 4th movement is A. But using the SIDRA
software, the result obtained is slightly different, which are LOS B for the 1st movement, LOS C
for the 2nd movement, LOS A for the 3rd movement and LOS A for the 4th movement.

CONCLUSION
In conclusion, the intersection capacity and performance of the site on Jalan Ilmu 1/1 shows
logical results based on either manual or computerized analysis. The T junction which composes
of 4 movement of traffic flow shows different LOS grades in relation to the volume of vehicles
passing through each intersection and the size of each lane in an hour. A higher grade of LOS
shows a better performance of the lane which means a smooth traffic flow of the lane where a
lower grade of LOS shows a lower performance of the traffic for the lane. A low grade of LOS
for this area which has an LOS of C, should be redesign for better traffic flow and performance
as it may cause congestion thus further affecting the LOS of other lanes
