Abstract

The Aceh Transportation Agency has introduced the Trans Koetaradja Feeder Bus as a public transportation facility for the community to reach residential areas or housing complexes. However, the Trans Koetaradja service still faces limitations in accessing settlements located in remote areas, making it difficult for residents to reach the available routes. To expand coverage to more evenly distributed residential areas, including remote regions, while simultaneously reducing passenger travel time to their destinations, the operation of Battery-Based Electric Motor Vehicles (KBLBB) is planned as a small-scale public transport mode. This study aims to identify the characteristics of travelers and the factors influencing preferences for using the Trans Koetaradja Feeder Bus and KBLBB through a Structural Equation Modeling (SEM) approach. Research data were obtained using the Stated Preference (SP) method by involving 200 respondents through questionnaire distribution. The questionnaires were distributed to Trans Koetaradja users and residents living around Feeder Route 7 (Masjid Raya Baiturrahman – Lambaro) via Lueng Bata. The results showed that accessibility was the most dominant factor influencing user preferences, reflecting public concerns about the considerable distance from homes to bus shelters/stops, which potentially causes delays in daily activities. Therefore, the community welcomed the presence of KBLBB as a solution. Furthermore, the SEM modeling results with Confirmatory Factor Analysis (CFA) produced a significant measurement model, in which the variable “accessibility” was proven to influence “comfort.” Indicators within the “accessibility” construct were identified as the main factors contributing to users’ perception of comfort.

Abstract

The development of the Politeknik Negeri Lhokseumawe area in Blang Mangat Sub-District, Lhokseumawe City, is expected to impact the surrounding transportation system and road infrastructure. This community service activity aims to assess the performance of several main road segments that may be affected to support smooth accessibility and traffic safety in the area. The study was conducted through field surveys with direct observation, including an inventory of road geometric conditions and manual traffic volume counts on four major road segments. The collected data were then analyzed using road capacity, degree of saturation (DS), and level of service (LoS). Results showed three road segments operated at Level of Service C (DS between 0.51 0.62), indicating stable traffic flow but approaching maximum capacity. The remaining segment was at Level of Service A (DS between 0.11 0.19), representing very smooth traffic conditions. The highest traffic volumes were recorded on the Sp. CundaBuket Rata and Buket RataCity Boundary segments, particularly during peak hours, with load capacities ranging from 1,327 pcu/hour to 3,844 pcu/hour. To anticipate the potential increase in traffic load due to future educational activities in the area, traffic management strategies were proposed, including transport scheduling, officer deployment, and control of roadside disturbances. This study highlights the importance of early planning and intervention to maintain safety, efficiency, and comfort for road users in the area.
