Abstract
This study analyzes signalized-intersection performance in Bumi Serpong Damai using calibrated VISSIM microsimulation based on peak-hour traffic, geometric data, and signal-timing parameters. Model accuracy was ensured through iterative behavioural calibration and R² validation. Optimisation scenarios involving revised phase plans and green-time allocation produced clear improvements, including reduced delay, stop frequency, queue length, and emissions. The results demonstrate the effectiveness of data-driven signal-timing strategies and provide a transferable framework for intersection optimisation in rapidly growing urban areas.
