The Effect Analysis of Traffic Volume, Velocity and Density in Dr.Siwabessy Salobar Road

Selviana Walsen, La Mohamat Saleh

Traffic density has been considered to be affected by the traffic volume and the traffic velocity. This study focuses on investigating the roles of both aspects on the traffic density along the street of Dr. Siwabessy, from Ambon City to Air Salobar or vice versa. This street has been considered to be one busy street in Ambon City with various vehicles passing by along with the crowded pedestrian activities and with new business centrals (e.g. school) along the road describing the complexity of the street traffics. From the study, it was found that the traffic velocity was statisitically the more significant factor in determining the traffic density compared to the traffic volume following the use of the coefficient regression model. The other finding is that the traffic along the street can be classified to be under-saturated
