Road traffic noise reduction using TDM-TMS strategies in Makassar city, Indonesia

Abstract

The object of this paper is to propose travel demand management (TDM) and traffic management system (TMS) strategies in order to mitigate the road traffic noise (RTN) in Makassar City, Indonesia. The TDM-TMS strategies involve three in one car, two in one motorcycle, prohibition horn sound, and Bus Rapid Transit. The ASJ RTN-Model 2008 is used to predict the RTN and GIS is applied to evaluate the effectiveness of various TDM-TMS scenarios as well as the present condition. The results show the TDM-TMS strategies as a noise measure provide noise reduction of about 6dB, and it is significant and sufficient effectiveness in reducing the RTN in Makassar. The authors wish that the results of this study give a suggestion for transportation policy to reduce the RTN in the future in Makassar City.
