ANALISIS DAMPAK PEMBANGUNAN JALAN LINGKAR TIMUR TERHADAP PENURUNAN EMISI GAS BUANG (CO2) DI KAWASAN PADANG LUAR, KABUPATEN AGAM

Abstract

To overcome traffic congestion in the Padang Luar region, it is necessary to apply Traffic Management and Engineering. One application of Traffic Management and Engineering is the Construction of the Eastern Ring Road around the Padang Luar Area. The construction of the East Ring Road will certainly facilitate the flow of traffic so as to reduce exhaust emissions (CO2). The analysis technique in this study is to use the 1997 Indonesian Road Capacity Manual (MKJI) and the Calculation of Exhaust Emissions, published by the Ministry of National Development Planning Agency of the Republic of Indonesia. The results of the analysis showed that there was a decrease in Emis Gas Discharge (CO2) per year by 1.881 tCO2equivalent, whereas previously the total exhaust emission (CO2) per year was 2.591 tCO2equivalent. The cause of the reduction in exhaust emissions is an increase in vehicle speed due to the Construction of the East Ring Road.
