Abstract:

This paper analyzed Molino Road and Daang Hari Road Intersection and applied the Continuous Flow Intersection which was compared to the current condition of the intersection and the proposed intersection design. The study conducted a 16-hour manual traffic count in 14 days with 7 days of the holiday season that started from November 24 to November 30, 2018, and 7 days of the non-holiday season that started from January 28 to February 3, 2019. The researchers interviewed 3 traffic enforcers, a barangay representative, 13 commuters, 3 motorists, and the Bacoor Traffic Management Development planner to highlight the problem factors that affect the performance of the intersection. The simulation tool PTV Vistro determined the result of the gathered data and the design tool PTV Vissim planned the Continuous Flow Intersection. The results showed that the conducted manual traffic countingfor both holiday and non-holiday season determined the AM peak hour that starts from 6am to 9am and PM peak hour that starts from 4pm to 9pm. The PM peak 5pm to 6pm data was used by the researchers on the analysis of Level of Service. The level of service of the current condition of the intersection falls to F for both holiday and non-holiday.After the optimization of the signal timing and CFI design application the result changed to D for the holiday and C for the non-holiday. Results showed that the proposed design improves the current condition of the intersection.
