Discussion

Based on the survey that had been done, we discovered the performance of the intersection
that have been chosen which is at the Three-leg intersections (in front of Post Office) in Jengka,
Maran . At the junction, there are 4 movements of vehicles as described in the result above. First
of all, the 4th movement is found to be the highest total vehicles per hour which is 608 vph and the
lowest is at the 2nd movement which is 159 vph. That sums up the highest volume capacity at the
4th movement which is 474 pcph and at the 2nd movement to be the lowest which is 129 pcph. This
is due to the smooth flow or path at the 4th movement as the direction is only a straight line but at
the 2nd movement, the vehicles have to turn right which crossing the oppose road that already has
a lot of vehicles movement, thus make it difficult to turn through it.
On the analysis of the T intersection, the actual capacity for the 1st movement is 710 pcph
which is more than the 2nd movement which is 465 pcph. The major difference in this actual
capacity is because of the high conflicting flow at the 2nd movement that involved 3rd movement
and also the 4th movement. The 3rd movement is an oppose direction or flow to the 2nd movement,
thus making it the most difficult turn to pass through it. Meanwhile, at the 1st movement, there is
only 3rd movement involved in the conflicting flow and it is also the same path and direction to the
1st movement of vehicles, thus resulted the lower conflicting flow than 2nd movement.
