Abstract

The construction of the coastal road in Balikpapan is planned by integrating the existing city system with a new system through collector roads and coastal roads. The goal is to increase accessibility and also to improve the performance of cities and tourism areas. The route decision plays an essential role in the movement of people and goods. It can streamline the distance, time, and costs to reach a certain destination. The purpose of the study is to determine the scenario of route selections that passes MT. Haryono Road, Ahmad Yani Road, and Sungai Ampal Road. The model follows Wardrop's Law in assigning the traffic flow to the road network section, which connects a zone of origin to a destination zone. Wardrop's Law states that the road users will be affected by the variable of traffic volume density (V/C ratio - congestion level) when the road is jammed. Road users will choose the route with the lowest congestion levels, which is, also, the shortest, the fastest, and the cheapest. It creates a balance between the first and the last roads. However, road users still suffer from the lack of information regarding the shortest distance, the fastest time, and the cheapest fare. As a result, there are differences in road users' perceptions about the minimum distance, time, and cost. Then, the probability (probability) that road users will choose a road segment/route will be affected.
