Pelaksanaan Inspeksi Keselamatan pada Perlintasan Sebidang JPL 349 KM 163+758, Jalan Timoho, Yogyakarta

What is it about?

Accidents between motorized vehicles and trains may occur at level crossings even though it has been maintained and given an adequate infrastructure. This study aims to conduct a safety inspection at JPL 349, Timoho Street, Yogyakarta since the level crossing location close to the center of human activity. This research method begins with a literature study and primary and secondary data collection. The primary data consisted of infrastructure completeness data, highway and rail track geometric, traffic volume, traffic delay, vehicles queue length, and pavement condition index (PCI). While secondary data was in the form of train departure and arrival schedules.

Why is it important?

I). While secondary data was in the form of train departure and arrival schedules. The conclusions of this study stated that the JPL 349 level crossing do not meet the applicable regulatory standards in terms of signs, markers, train travel time intervals, intersection angles between highway and rail track, and the distance between level crossings. In terms of geometric, the horizontal alignment of the highway was also not in accordance with the applicable regulations. The longest traffic delay was 194 seconds and the longest queue of vehicles was 210 m. In addition, it was known that the average PCI was 72.9% (very good).
