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.
