Therefore, a Surakarta road network needs urgently to be expanded and a proposed ring-road is considered necessary.

The aim of study is to predict the future traffic condition in terms of effective journey time after a proposed ring-road is implemented using Teacher Friendly Transportation Program (TFTP). The results show that effective journey time in 2009 and 2014 was significantly reduced after opening the proposed ring-road in the Surakarta road networks. The efficiency of journey time in 2009 was predicted in the range of 8 to 9 minutes for three alternatives and in 2014 was about 9 to 11 minutes. Meanwhile, the journey time for ring-road in 2009 was estimated in 17.1 minutes with the efficiency of journey time for alternative 1, 2 and 3 was calculated in 17.9, 10.9 and 13.9 minutes, respectively. The journey time for ring-road in 2014 was found to be 19 minutes with the efficiency of journey time for alternative 1, 2 and 3 is 20, 17.5 and 15, respectively. ]]>
