THE DETAILED DESIGN STUDY (INCLUDING SUPPLEMENTARY FEASIBILITY STUDY) OF THE MALOLOS – CLARK RAILWAY PROJECT AND THE NORTH SOUTH RAILWAY PROJECT – SOUTH LINE (COMMUTER) (Solis - Calamba)) Draft Traffic Impact Assessment Report CHAPTER 3 3 TRAFFIC ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY The current and future capacities of the study intersections were analyzed and presented herein. The area was divided into two sections: Solis to Blumentritt and Blumentritt to Calamba. Each section corresponds to two (2) horizon years which were considered in the assessment of the future capacity. The section of Solis to Blumentritt will undergo a rapid construction at the year 2020 and expected to operate at 2025. On the other hand, the section of Blumentritt to Calamba will be analyzed at the year 2025 for the construction period and 2030 for the operation period. Road capacities were analyzed mainly based on their level of service (LOS) and their capacity to carry additional vehicle volumes or margin traffic without being congested. 3.1 STUDY PERIODS Current capacity analysis was based on the data from the traffic survey results. For the future capacity analyses, the intersections were assessed based on their capacity to carry the future general traffic and the traffic volumes generated during the railway construction and operation. Future general traffic is expected to rise due to increase in population, increase in car ownership and development of new offices, commercial facilities and housing, among others. However, improvements in the highway and railway network surrounding the rail alignment will also trigger diversion of routes or mode shifting. In addition to general traffic, during construction period, the railway construction will bring about additional traffic volume in the form of trucks carrying soil fills, facilities, construction wastes among others, concrete mixers, coasters for workers and others. These construction-related vehicles will be plying to and from the construction yards that are located along the railway alignment. The viability of these locations to be opened as construction yards will be influenced by the capacity of the surrounding roads to carry the additional construction vehicle volumes. Moreover, traffic conditions during this operation period will also be affected by the generation of feeder transportation to/from the railway stations and the shift in mode usage from existing public and private modes to the rail mode. 3.2 METHODOLOGY The types of analysis that were performed to further synthesize the results of the survey are as follows: a. Intersection delay as measure for level of service (LOS) b. Queuing analysis c. Signal optimization of signalized intersections SMDI CONSULTANTS, INC. | TRAFFIC ANALYSIS METHODOLOGY 3-1 THE DETAILED DESIGN STUDY (INCLUDING SUPPLEMENTARY FEASIBILITY STUDY) OF THE MALOLOS – CLARK RAILWAY PROJECT AND THE NORTH SOUTH RAILWAY PROJECT – SOUTH LINE (COMMUTER) (Solis - Calamba)) Draft Traffic Impact Assessment Report d. Calculation of margin for additional vehicles during construction and operation periods. PTV VISTRO 6, a traffic engineering software, will be used for all these analyses. PTV VISTRO is a traffic engineering software used to evaluate the impacts of proposed future developments on the transportation network for small and medium sized networks. It is considered as an all-in-one solution for traffic analysis needs, where one can analyze traffic operations, evaluate new development impacts and optimize signal timing. It can be utilized to analyze an interaction, a corridor or a road network. The analyses in PTV VISTRO are conducted based on Highway Capacity Manual (HCM) 6th Edition. HCM is a most widely used and accepted
