Abstract

To improve rail-based urban public transport services, the Indonesian government plans to increase rail trips in Surabaya. One of the additional train trip plans is to add an urban train trip from Surabaya Kota station to Gubeng station from 06:00 to 22:00 with headway every 30 minutes. The increase in train trips will result in more frequent closure of level crossing gates and more incredible queues. The purpose of the study was to find out how many additional rail trips can increase the number of train trips that already exist without causing any meaningful effect on highway traffic. The research method used is to analyze the characteristics of road traffic at level crossings that occur at this time, then simulate the addition of train trips with headway every 30 minutes. The simulation results showed that the additional train trip from 06:00 to 22:00 with the headway every 30 minutes was only 45 to 57 trips. Not all scheduled plans for additional train trips can increase the number of existing train trips. Only 68.18% to 86.36% of the planned additions could add to the number of existing train trips. The addition of train trips also resulted in the addition of vehicle queues and also the addition of queue dispersal times that occurred.
