Traffic Impact Analysis (TIA) – My Personal Perspective
CONTENTION RATIO (CR) also applicable in performing effective TIA to allow FF and exert more patience and clear understanding for the road users if somehow have to face some congestions here and there. TIA shall not be solely done by surveyors but having full support from other relevant professionals with solid foundation in traffic engineering and state-of-the-art data collection, data analysis, logical, analytical, and psychological expressions of drivers cum toll-payers. Submerge their emotions, emulate and simulate before giving stupid recommendation, if any.
Wrong if data collection done only during
normal working days and picking peak hours to ascertain the passenger-car-unit
per hour (PCU/hr) for recommendation to BPJ, KKRM; people travel at their
convenience regardless of weekends or festive seasons. It is just a
mind-boggling situation in the fine country of ours have billion dollars
outsets that worth no more than a single sen when get implemented.
In any transportation network to be implemented successfully at today standard and technology availability four (4) items have to be evaluated beforehand; Construction (C), Tunneling (T), Rolling Stocks (R) and Supporting System (S). CTRS shall be the acronym; but quantity and creativity belongs to hybrid man-machine cooperation and interactive information analysis on in simple term I purposely coin as hybrid-generative AI. I have started hearing AI word as mere jargon since 1986 and solid 2-years next together with Expert System (A), Automata Theory (B) , Cybernetics (robotics-B+), Software Engineering (A-) in Modula-2, Ada and Motorola MC68009 microprocessor, Pattern Recognition & Image Processing (B+), Computer Architecture & Associative Processing (B), Computer Aided Design (B), Digital Control System (A), Digital Signal Processing (A) and Digital Communication Systems (A). Please note that the letters in parenthesis () are the grades I had at the finals and written in the transcript.
Please we are in a quick pace into smart and
sustainable livelihood whereby no one voluntarily banging or purported
collisions of each others’ vehicle. Driving at individual safe pace without
collision. Cmon we are also moving into near 3% annual population growth and
the same rate can be projected for rate of increase of new drivers. I sensed
that ALL tools are already available only waiting for smart people to utilize
it use it for us to feel the mutual benefits in ALL areas; urban, suburbs and
rural.
Tell u what Alex, Sarawak has shown the way by
creation of medium-size roundabouts which many folds more time and highly efficient
free-flow traffic in comparison with the so-called smart traffic lights be
except not pedestrian-friendly and need bigger space for penyuraian trafik.
Also consideration on terrain, demographic, morphostructure, geomatical input
etc etc. Thanks.
BTW, I've given Baru Bian's MALAYSIAN ITS (Intelligent Transportation Management System) Blueprint 2019-2023 ISBN: 978-967-5399-23-7, an "F" grade because do not really touch the ground for simple implementation in modularity to cover seamless inter-connectivity by 2034 more of cut and paste, can't differentiate between technology and brand-name. So sorry for PTDs and management-only Engineer develop something like such and 6 ministries sit at the council, 6 in supporting role and mentioned 20 agencies sign-off as a product to guide. Need to say no more.
Got to sign-off to be in an Open House. Thanks for reading.
