Application of Remote Sensing and GIS for Angkuta Stop and Route in Malang City

Malang city has one public transportation that is Angkuta, but the current conditions are considered ineffective. Mass transportation planning requires adequate facilities such as bus stops and effective routes. This research aims to select the most optimized bus stop locations for the Malang city transportation user from Angkuta and to extend bus route based on the existing route of Angkuta with review performance assessment. This research determines the potential location for bus stops with scoring method or parameter assessment, which can find out the potential trip production and trip attraction of passengers in the block area. By manually digitizing building roofs from the satellite image, physical parameters of buildings such as building density, average building size, and building layout are calculated. The method used for route evaluation is by analyzing route performance parameters. These parameters are carried out by field surveys for six Angkuta routes. The results of this study generated potential locations for bus stop locations on the six routes. ABB route has 18 stop points, Route AG has 28 stop points, the AMG route has 33 stop points, the ADL route has 34 stop points, the LDG route has 37 stops, and the ABG route has 33 stops. The results of route performance analysis show that the ABG, ADL, and AMG routes have a fair performance. LDH routes have good route performance. Routes AG and ABB have bad route performance. This study shows that using satellite image data can be used as a recommendation to determine potential locations for bus stops. Moreover, the analysis of route performance parameters can use as a reference in route performance assessment.
