Abstract: Palembang City having an area of 358.55 km 2 with a total population of approximately 1.8 million
people is one of the main cities in Indonesia. A city transport modeling is important in a city transportation
planning particularly to overcome the existing transportation problem such as traffic congestion. In this study
Palembang City transportation model was developed was developed using the PTV Vissum Program whose
transportation modeling was based on the four-step model of transportation. The result of the study shows that the
developed model has an excellent reliability in representing the transportation conditions in Palembang and it is
in line with the previous study that Palembang required bridges connecting between Ulu and Ilir areas of
Palembang to overcome traffic congestion in Palembang City. Ideally, in 2019 Palembang will have had 4
connecting bridges and 5 bridges in 2022.

1. INTRODUCTION Several successful studies using Vissum in transportation
As a metropolitan city as well as the capital of South
Sumatra Province, Palembang becomes the center of
government, trade, industry, and settlement in South Sumatra.
Good planning of transportation system should have been
implemented in order to be able to solve transportation
problems commonly occurred in big cities, one of which is
traffic congestion.
In this study the transport modeling of Palembang City used
macro-simulation of PTV VISSUM 15.00 to find out the
pattern of movement, search for alternative solutions in order
to be able to decipher these congestion, and control the
distribution of the movement of every trip occurring in
Palembang City.
The Vissum Program applied four-step transportation
modeling. The resulting model reliability was conducted by
comparing the traffic volume resulted from the modeling and
the one from the field survey. The analysis focused on the
adequacy of bridge construction plans in Palembang City as
outlined in the general plan of spatial Palembang City. The city
is divided into two parts by Musi River, that is the Ulu and Ilir
areas which are connected by the Ampera Bridge.

Transportation model of Palembang City was developed
using a program of macro-simulation of PTV VISSUM 15.00. 3. METHODOLOGY
The model was developed using four steps of transportation. The methodological procedure is described as follows:
Briefly, the making of traffic model using the program of PTV  The matrix of the origin of destination obtained from

City. Table 3 and Figure 5 show the results of Vissum program
for bridge service rate in Palembang in 2017, 2019, 2022, and
2027. The analysis results of needs adequacy of bridge
constructions in Palembang is as follows:
 In the existing year of 2016, the Ampera Bridge as the
only bridge connecting the Ulu and Ilir areas of Palembang
cannot serve the existing traffic movement anymore.
