Background: Traffic congestion is a major problem faced by the city of Bandung, particularly at the Soekarno-Hatta – Buah Batu intersection, which often experiences saturated conditions where traffic volume exceeds the basic capacity of the arterial road. This study aims to analyze the existing condition of the intersection and evaluate the effectiveness of integrating traffic engineering and public transportation as a sustainable solution. Method: This study employs a microscopic traffic simulation approach using Planung Transport Verkehr (PTV) VISSIM 9 software, based on traffic volume data obtained from ATCS CCTV observations, classified by vehicle type and movement direction. Two scenarios were analyzed: the existing condition with a 360 second signal cycle and the engineered condition with a 150 second cycle combined with high-capacity bus services. Finding: The simulation results show that under existing conditions, the average queue length reaches 267.74 meters with a traffic flow of about 2,600 pcu/hour/lane, far exceeding the basic capacity of 1,700 pcu/hour/lane. After applying traffic engineering and public transport integration, the average queue length decreased significantly to 22.9 meters, with a potential reduction of up to 1,920 private vehicles per day. Conclusion: The combination of signal cycle optimization and high-capacity public transport can improve intersection performance efficiency while supporting sustainable urban mobility in Bandung. Novelty/Originality of this article: This study introduces an integrated framework combining signal timing optimization and high-capacity public transport, evaluated through microscopic traffic simulation using ATCS CCTV data. It provides quantitative evidence of congestion reduction and private vehicle demand shifts at a saturated urban intersection in a developing city context.
