The City

The San Francisco Bay Area has an existing commuter rail system that brings commuters from southern regional communities into the downtown city center. One of the communities served by commuter rail service is the City of Palo Alto, CA, which includes four active grade crossings, each requiring train horn sounding for each train event. The City wished to evaluate various options to eliminate the noise generated from horn soundings by creating road/rail grade separations at each existing grade crossing and other possible noise and vibration control elements. The alternatives included crossing closures, rail bed trenching, viaducts, roadway underpasses, and tunnels. A noise and vibration study was undertaken to provide an analysis of which alternatives would provide better reductions in noise and vibration in the surrounding community. The study included an assessment of existing noise levels and predicted future noise and vibration levels for construction and operation of each proposed alternative using current established noise and vibration methodology. The results of this study included comparisons of the noise and vibration associated with each of the of the proposed alternatives that could be used in conjunction with other studies considering cost, traffic, safety, aesthetics and other factors to select an overall preferred alternative.

And Performance

Traffic congestion is a classic problem in big cities especially in developing countries such as Indonesia. Many things can be the cause of the traffic jam, for it is necessary to research on traffic congestion as much as possible, with the hope of producing the best solution for all.Congestion that occurs due to the activity and mixing between local and regional flows. The purpose of this study is to analyze the level of service and performance road cut Teuku Umar street and road Setiabudi, so it can be arranged alternative actions that can be done to address the problem of traffic congestion.The method used in this research is by using Quantitative Deductive Method Rationalistic, with retrofitting Level of Service and analysis of motion control (maneuver) in order to see the level of service road and the movement of traffic in motion over Jatingaleh Region Semarang. The results of this study is the identification of the causes of traffic congestion and the suitability of the performance in the study area (Region Jatingaleh).Level of service for road Jatingaleh area is the level of F means that hampered the flow of traffic, low speed, volume over capacity, congestion often occurs at a time long enough so that it can drop to zero. In the piece Jalan Teuku Umar and Jalan Setiabudi there are several types of motion control, there are approximately 5 crossing, diverging 6, 7 merging and 3 weaving. Seeing the condition of the poor level of service in most of the observation point, of course, reduce the performance of the maneuver crossing the road.Need for the recommendation that a new path with the added solution of the motion control analysis (maneuver) in the form of Grade Separation, can be Overpass (Flyover) or underpass.Keywords: transportation, congestion, road, and traffic.

The Paper Will Address The Crisis Of Railroad-Highway Grade Crossing Accidents In The United States. A Railroad-Highway Grade Crossing Is Where A Public Or Private Roadway Crosses Railroad Tracks. Over The Years, There Have Been Many Studies And Programs To Warn The General Public Of The Hazards Of Crossing Railroad Tracks. However, The Same Types Of Railroad-Highway Crossing Accidents Continue To Occur, Despite Attempts To Educate The Public. As Will Be Discussed, Communication Between Transportation Professionals And Coordination Of Railroad And Highway Operations Also Contributes To The Crisis. The Most Effective Way To Eliminate Grade Crossing Accidents Is To Provide Grade Separation Of The Railroad From Vehicle And Pedestrian Traffic. This Has Been Completed At 39,68 1 Locations. It Is A Very Expensive Proposition. Therefore, It Has Been Done Only In Urban Areas, And Along Limited Access Highways And Arterials. The Cost Of Constructing A Grade Separated Crossing Is Estimated To Be Five Million Dollars Per Location.
