Access Road Analysis to/Form Airport (Case Study: Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport)

Sultan Hasanuddin International Airport, Makassar is a gateway airport in Eastern Indonesia and South Sulawesi Province. The number of passengers and flights through airport increased rapidly from year to year due to the competition of cheap tickets among airlines. This is causing of the displacement mode (modal split) from the sea and land transportation modes to air transportation mode, then will influence the traffic flows at the ground transportation to/from the airport and its surroundings. The purpose of this study is to calculate the capacity, estimate the traffic circulation conditions (traffic flows) and the degree of saturation on the access road to/from the International Airport of Sultan Hasanuddin, MakassarGrowth in passenger and aircraft numbers through the International Airport of Sultan Hasanuddin, Makassar is increase from year to year due to the competition of cheap tickets among airlines. This is causing of the displacement mode (modal split) from the sea and land transportation modes to air transportation. Increasing number of passenger and aircraft movements affecting the accessibility of vehicles or modes of ground transportation to and from the airport. Data collection was conducted by field survey, includes traffic data at the airport entrance road (Jl. Bandara Baru) and the intersection between Jl. Perintis Kemerdekaan - Jl. Ir. Sutami ??? Jl. Bandara Baru, to determine the density of vehicles traffic flows. Data analys was done by using IHCM Method Chapter V, to analyze the capacity and degree of saturation for airport roads and IHCM Method Chapter II, to analyze the capacity and degree of saturation on the crossing sections. The results can be summarized as follows: Jl. Bandara Baru was performing well even for the prediction of the next 5 years, while at the intersection at Jl. Perintis Kemerdekaan ??? Jl. Ir. Sutami ??? Jl. Bandara Baru were performing poorly on the north and south approaches, and on the west and east approaches the performance were good.
