| Summary: | ABSTRAK
The intention of this research is to introduce a new method in measuring saturation flow in mixed traffic conditions. This is because the conventional method as mentioned in Road Note 34 (RRL, 1963) is difficult and time consuming to apply in mixed traffic conditions.
In the experiment raw data collected by Akbari (2003) was reanalyzed to investigate the saturation flow on five traffic signals in Yogyakarta. A comparative study based on statistical analyses was carried out to investigate the significant difference of the new method compared to the conventional one.
Results of the analyses showed that using the cumulative curve is found to be no significant difference compared to the conventional method. Moreover, the method showed its simplicity and easiness to measure saturation flow in mixed traffic conditions. This concludes that the cumulative curve method is appropriate for measuring saturation flow in mixed traffic conditions.
