Abstract : Universiti Pendidikan Sultan Idris
The purpose of this study was to evaluate the mathematical model for traffic flowing through a merging area on the Malaysia Federal Highway operation which ramp areas at  Kilometer   31.6  from  Shah  Alam  to  Kuala  Lumpur,  Kilometer  32.9  from  Kuala Lumpur  to  Shah  Alam   and  Kilometer  33  from  Kuala  Lumpur  to  Shah  Alam.  The continuous flow model was used in  this study that assumes traffic flow to be similar to the heat equation in regards to the concept  of the one-dimensional viscous flow of compressible fluid. The research design used in this study  was comparative method. The continuous flow model set an initial condition, together with a set of  boundary conditions,  was  prescribed  to  solve  the  partial  differential  equation.  The   boundary conditions were selected to assess the suitableness of the design of the entrance ramp in    Malaysia.   A   sample   of   highway  traffic   data   was   collected   on   the   tapered  acceleration lane and obtained by the videotaping method. The highway traffic data were  provided   by  the  Faculty  of  Civil  Engineering,  Universiti  Teknologi  Mara (UiTM). The Maple  programming was used to write an algorithm program to evaluate the solution in terms of Fourier  series with a finite number of iterations. The findings of this study disclosed  the instantaneous  speed  ratios at lower values of  easiness to flow were converging slower compared to the higher  values of instantaneous speed ratio. The instantaneous speed ratio values were found to be more  accurate when the additional  iteration  numbers  were  considered  and  the  traffic’s   instantaneous  speed ratio for three selected sites on the Malaysia Federal Highway was less than  1.39 at location 0.4 which was less than 1.4 as proposed by theoretical model. In conclusion, the  mathematical model was found to be accurate in estimating the safe distance and speed of vehicles  on merging area so that the collision can be minimized and for the assessment  and  decision-making   of  the  configuration  of  the  traffic  flow.  As  the implication,  this  study  on  the   mathematical  model  and  theories  of  traffic  flow provides the possibilities of the improvement  for the design of the entrance ramp in Malaysia.
