Axhausen a 4 ETH Zurich, Institute for Transport Planning and Systems, Stefano-Franscini-Platz 5, 8093 Zurich, 5 Switzerland 6 Abstract 7 Agent-based models have become popular over the years as more traditional modelling 8 approaches were not suitable for studying emerging transportation modes and transport 9 policies. However, creating a detailed scenario, which is the basis of the agent-based 10 model that represents the supply and demand for a study area, is not trivial and requires 11 substantial effort. This is even more the case when the study area is large and contains 12 many people living and performing many different daily activities. This is exactly the 13 case for the region of Greater Jakarta, the subject of this research. Greater Jakarta has 2 14 an area of approximately 8000 km and is home to approximately 30 million people. 15 Here we present the synthesis of the Greater Jakarta commuting scenario to help future 16 researchers generate large-scale scenarios in similar regions where the data is Limited or 17 difficult to gather. First runs, using an agent-based model MATSim, integrated with a 18 mode-choice model are presented and can be used as a backbone for future improvements 19 of the Greater Jakarta scenario and investigations of different transport related questions. 20 Keywords: MATSim; Agent-Based Model; Mode-Choice Model; Greater Jakarta 21 1. Introduction 22 Travel activities are affected by many different factors, including the mode of trans- 23 portation, the trip purpose, and social interactions with other people (Kitamura, 1988; 24 Axhausen and Grling, 1992). Bradley and Vovsha (2005) studied how intra-household 0 25 interactions changed trip decisions. For example, a family s morning travel activities 26 could be influenced by the needs of a child in the household. If a parent needed to drop 27 off the child at school before he or she went to the office, that decision impacted the way ∗Corresponding author Email address: [email protected] (Anugrah Ilahi) 28 the schedule was planned. Borgers et al. (2001); Gliebe and Koppelman (2005); Simma 29 and Axhausen (2001) noted that different time allocations for different activities greatly 30 impacted trip planning. In addition, Axhausen et al. (2002) discovered that existing 31 routines, weather, and the purpose of each trip made mapping transportation efforts a 32 challenging undertaking. Arentze and Timmermans (2004) found several types of con- 33 straints on travel such as household constraints, spatial constraints, time constraints, and 34 spatial-temporal constraints. An example of time constraints was the opening and closing 35 times of different stores or shopping places. In addition, the distance is a constraint on 36 travel. The farther away sometime was, the longer it would take to travel there from a 37 home location. Trip activities can be influenced by bigger group interactions; however, 38 people are more greatly influenced by their personal needs, occupations, ethnicity, na- 39 tionality, or interests. One of the greatest influences on a persons trip decisions was their 40 family or other people with whom they spent most of their time. For this purpose, we 41 developed an agent-based model that was able to simulate complex interactions based on 42 previous studies. There are several agent-based models, such as ORIENT/RV (Axhausen, 43 1989), TRANSIMS (Smith et al., 1995), SimMobility (Adnan et al., 2016), SimTRAVEL 44 (Pendyala et al., 2012), Multi-Agent Transport Simulation MATSim (MATSim) (Balmer 45 et al., 2006; Horni et al., 2016), and GEMSim (Saprykin et al., 2019). However, we make 46 use of MATSim in this research which has been shown to be suitable to model large-scale 47 cities in Singapore (Erath et al., 2012), was able to include microbuses in simulation 48 (Neumann et al., 2015), and utilized joint activities between household and household 49 members as can be seen in Dubernet and Axhausen (2015). In addition, it could also 50 simulate the impact of emerging transportation options and policies, such as the impact 51 of car-sharing (Balac et al., 2019), Urban Air Mobility (Balac et al., 2018), bike-sharing, 52 congestion pricing, automated vehicles or equity effects, which are hard to investigate on 53 a suitable level using the more traditional modeling techniques (Horni et al., 2016). 54 Our contributions in this paper were threefold: first, to the best of the authors knowl- 55 edge, this paper will be the first to make use of an agent-based model that incorporates all 56 of mode transport available including microbuses, called angkots, as a form of transporta- 2 57 tion and that simulates the daily behaviors of the people performing their daily activities 58 in Greater Jakarta. There are previous studies that had been conducted in Jakarta. Yagi 59 and Mohammadian (2010) simulated mode and destination choices based on discrete 60 choice modelling, and Dharmowijoyo et al. (2016) measured variability of travel patterns 61 in Greater Jakarta; however, those studies do not take in to account Greater Jakarta as 62 a whole object of study using agent-based modelling. Second, our model used a novel 63 approach that integrated the mode-choice model in MATsim simulation that allowed it 64 to filter unnecessary plans. As shown in H¨orlet al. (2018, 2019), this integration can 65 give a faster convergence speed of simulations than previous scoring based models which 66 estimated all the plan options available (Balmer et al., 2006; Horni et al., 2016). Third, 67 this paper will also add to the growing literature on modelling large-scale cities, especially 68 when the data is scarce or difficult to obtain. Finally, different from a conventional four 69 step model, each individual is simulated as an agent, with each of them having their own 70 attributes, such as sociodemographic features, activity locations, and modes of trans- 71 portation. The attributes of each agent are used as an input plan, and by using iterative 72 processing, we found the best plan that maximized utility. 73 The remainder of this paper is structured as follows: The following section describes 74 the case studies of Greater Jakarta. The third section explains the MATSim framework. 75 The fourth section presents mode-choice in MATSim. The fifth section presents the first 76 results obtained for the commuting population of the Greater Jakarta. Finally, the last 77 section presents conclusions, limitations, and further recommendations. 78 2. Case studies of Greater Jakarta 79 Greater Jakarta is comprised of nine cities and four regencies. The province of Jakarta 80 itself has five cities. The other four cities are Bogor, Depok, Tangerang, and Bekasi. The 81 four regencies are Tengerang, South Tangerang, Bogor, and Bekasi. Greater Jakarta, 82 known as Jabodetabek, has a population of approximately 30 million inhabitants. Greater 83 Jakarta has a significant role in the national economy in Indonesia producing more than 84 IDR 1,500 trillion (USD 113.51 Billion ). In 2012, Jakarta was the primary contributor 3 85 to the Jabodetabek GDP, with a share of 72.44%; therefore, the economic activities and 86 employment opportunities of Jabodetabek are concentrated in the city of Jakarta. At the 87 national level, Jabodetabek contributes 18.48% of Indonesias GDP. Around 3.6 million 88 people commute within, into, and out of Jakarta (BPS-Statistics, 2014). Therefore, traffic 89 congestion is generated by daily activities of commuters coming to Jakarta. The sample 90 of the data that we used is from a JICA study (JICA, 2009), as can be seen in Table 1. 91 The total number of respondents were 334,973. 69.91% of respondents were male, and 92 47.58% of respondents who worked had university degrees. Most of respondents, 71%, 93 were in the agglomeration area (the area outside of Jakarta), and 28.74% were living in 94 Jakarta. 4 Table 1: Sample summary statistics Categorical variables N % Categorical variables N % Share Share Person is male ** 234,181 69.91 Car ownership University degree*** 96,542 47.58 No car 164'364 82.95 Employed** 202,924 60.58 1 12,703 7.10 Age categories ** 2 1,486 0.83 < 6years old 9,212 2.75 3 270 0.15 6 - 12 years old 62,086 18.53 > 3 130 0.07 12 - 18 years old 53,286 15.91 Motorcycle ownership 18 - 24 years old 34,627 10.34 No Motorcycle 53'009 29.62 24 -32 years old 51,435 15.35 1 92,668 51.78 32 - 42 years old 61,023 18.22 2 26,274 14.68 42 - 60 years old 57,565 17.18 3 5,635 3.15 > 60 years old 5,739 1.71 > 3 1,367 0.76 Income (in IDR per NMT ownership month)* No NMT 146,724 81.99 No answer 1,445 0.81 1 24,786 13.85 < 1 M 28,024 15.66 2 5,722 3.20 1 M - 3 M 116,461 65.08 3 1,192 0.67 3 M - 5 M 23,369 13.06 > 3 529 0.30 5 M - 8 M 6,746 3.77 Driving license** 8 M - 15 M 2,216 1.24 Motorcycle 98,854 29.56 > 15 M 692 0.39 Private car 7,410 2.22 Total expenditures (in Passenger vehicle 2,512 0.75 IDR per month)* Motorcycle and car 13,195 3.95 No answer 1,818 1.02 Motorcycle

It aims to provide incentives to local governments to immediately take the necessary actions to help accelerate public transport reform in their respective cities. To realize this, the calculation of vehicle operating costs (BOK) needed as an indicator of determining minimum tariffs or providing subsidies. The commonly used calculation methods in the calculation of vehicle operating costs refer to the Decree of Directorate General of Land Transportation and Transjakarta's calculation methods. Each of those calculation methods have advantages and disadvantages. The Decree of Directorate General of Land Transportation’s method has advantages in the right understanding of the calculation component. In contrast, Transjakarta’s method has advantages in practical worksheets and can provide comprehensive information.

  • Analysis of Tariff Integration Between MRT and Transjakarta*
    Advances in Engineering Research, volume 193 2nd International Symposium on Transportation Studies in Developing Countries (ISTSDC 2019) Analysis of Tariff Integration Between MRT and TransJakarta* Kevin Ginevra Arota Hulu Andyka Kusuma Civil Engineering Department Civil Engineering Department University of Indonesia University of Indonesia Depok, Indonesia Depok, Indonesia [email protected] [email protected] Abstract—The Tariff Integration System is a tariff payment residents to reduce transportation cost. Tariff integration system where users of public transportation make payments allows passengers to use several transportation modalities only once but can use two or more modes of public by only buying one ticket, which can be used for a short transportation. For this study, the modes of transportation period or can also have seasonal validity [4]. Therefore, this reviewed are TransJakarta and MRT. The purpose of this study tries to find out what the people of Jakarta perceive study is to find out the preferences that affect the community regarding tariff integration, to know the factors that can about the tariff integration system. influence people's behaviour towards tariff integration, as well as the preference for integration rates for the community. The II. TARIFF INTEGRATION SYSTEM data collection method for this study is the Stated Preference Method. The survey conducted in two places, namely in the The Integration Tariff system allows passengers to use downtown and in the suburbs. The survey in the downtown is several transportation modalities (for example, intercity and held at the Bendungan Hilir Shelter (TransJakarta Corridor 1) city buses, subways, local trains, and ferries).

  • Jakarta's Bus Rapid Transit System Indonesia
    Jakarta’s Bus Rapid Transit System CASE STUDY Indonesia | March 2016 "Transport in Asia and the Pacific faces a web of issues that need a strategic solution... Countries across the region have to contend with road safety, air pollution, social sustainability, climate change impacts, lack of public financing, decrepit infrastructure, and even cross-border bottlenecks, among others.” - James Leather, Co-Chair, ADB Transport Community of Practice Hoping to improve the worsening traffic situation in Jakarta, Sutiyoso—then Governor of Jakarta—bit the bullet and pushed for the construction of the Jakarta Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) system in 2001. With worsening traffic congestion and growing population of 8 million in 2000, BRT was thought as the ultimate solution to the traffic woes of people in the capital of Indonesia. The BRT masterplan is projected to have a busway network consisting of eleven corridors. The system is a closed trunk system without a functioning feeder system. The first corridor of Jakarta’s BRT of around 12.9 km, essentially consisting of a dedicated lane and loading platforms for large buses in the inner side of city streets, began operations in early 2004. Initially, the system ran well and showed good results—patrons’ travel time was reduced by an average of 20 minutes through a clean and convenient transport system that had longer operating hours. Pre-launch objections from affected bus operators and the driving public had disappeared. However, problems on the operational and managerial aspects of the project began to crop up a few months after the BRT was launched. Months after the BRT launch, Governor Sutiyoso—then governor of Jakarta—listened intently at the problems presented by the various stakeholders of Jakarta’s Bus Rapid Transit (BRT) System.

Green spaces, walkability, cleanliness, affordability are all important factors but most city dwellers will rank mobility high on the list. A good transportation system has direct benefts to people, businesses, the environment and the overall economy. It is no secret that Jakarta has struggled with traffc gridlock for nearly two decades. Indonesia’s capital city has many charms but unfortunately visitors often mention being stuck in traffc as the defning experience of their visit and locals simply shrug their shoulders and grit their teeth. But that does not mean no efforts have been made to fnd a solution. In fact last year, the TransJakarta busway celebrated its 15th anniversary of serving the city. The frst bus rapid transit (BRT) system in Asia, TransJakarta has redefned public transportation and changed public attitudes towards taking the bus.

  • Studi Evaluasi Program Bus Trans Sarbagita Pemerintah Provinsi Bali
    Kebijakan dan Manajemen Publik ISSN 2303 - 341X Volume 4, Nomor 1, Januari-April 2016 Studi Evaluasi Program Bus Trans Sarbagita Pemerintah Provinsi Bali I Gusti Agung Bagus Angga Putra1 Mahasiswa Program Studi Ilmu Administrasi Negara, FISIP, Universitas Airlangga Abstract This study aims to answer the question about the slackness of the Trans Sarbagita Program. This study is a descriptive qualitative evaluation. The type of evaluation that is used in this study is the formative evaluation. The data were taken from the local government institutions which directly involved in the implementation of the Trans Sarbagita. They were, The Regional Development Planning Body of Bali Province, The Department of Transportation, Information and Communication Technology of Bali and Technical Implementation Unit Trans Sarbagita, the last one is the III Commission of the Bali Provincial Parliament. Key informant were choosen purposively. The techniques of collecting data consist of in-depth interviews with open-ended question format, direct observation and the use of written documents. The techniques which are used to check on the validity of the data are triangulation technique. Meanwhile the techniques of analyzing data in this study are data reduction, data presentation and drawing conclusions. The study shows that in general the slackness of Trans Sarbagita program is caused by shortage of funds for capital expenditure and investments of the opening of a new corridor and the behavior and the culture of Balinese people who are not accustomed to travel by public transportation. Moreover, the Balinese government haven’t put Trans Sarbagita as a priority yet, the mismatch of the type of bus with the conditions of the route, and the lack of support in form of regulation that is capable of providing privileges and advantages for Trans Sarbagita create a cycle process that cause slackness of this first integrated program of public transport in the Bali Province.

  • 6 Development Goals and Strategies
    Project for the Study on JABODETABEK Public Transportation Policy Implementation Strategy (JAPTraPIS) FINAL REPORT: Main Text 6 DEVELOPMENT GOALS AND STRATEGIES 6.1 Core Issues 1) The Challenges of Traffic Congestion and Decreasing Mobility Transport and mobility is a major community concern affecting the daily lives of millions of citizens in Jakarta with traffic congestion inflicting a high social and economic cost due to wasted time, increased transport cost and loss of productivity. The Transportation Ministry estimates that traffic jams cost Jakarta IDR 28.1 trillion rupiah ($3.2 billion) yearly in fuel costs, lost productivity and health costs. Traffic congestion erodes the benefits of economic growth and development. Citizen’s also raise transport as a strong area of concern, emphasizing that better solutions are needed, involving improvements to the existing public transport network, and for governments to place restrictions on car use. Congestion impacts on all sectors, in that all, ravel choices are inconvenient; cars, motorcycles, and public transport are all, in varying degrees, inconvenient, time wasting, expensive, and unsafe. Jakarta’s development also faces 21st century challenges; specifically energy cost and security; pollution and carbon emissions and increasingly limited space for car traffic. European cities are leading the way in addressing these issues and actually develop policies to make car travel more inconvenient in favour of to promoting more efficient modes such as public transport, cycling and pedestrian space. While it is necessary to have an efficient and well connected road network, building road space with the expectation to relieve traffic congestion is often counterproductive, as the extra road space is quickly absorbed by more cars and motorcycles.
