Laju purata perjalanan merupakan salah satu penunjuk prestasi yang digunakan bagi lebuhraya 2 lorong di Malaysia. Selama ini, standard rekabentuk yang digunakan di negara Malaysia adalah berasaskan Highway Capacity Manual Amerika Syarikat. Oleh itu, kajian untuk menyiasat laju purata perjalanan di lebuh raya Malaysia diperlukan bagi mengenalpasti situasi trafik sebenar berasaskan keadaan Malaysia. Kajian ini dijalankan bagi mendedahkan hubung kait antara laju purata perjalanan dan laju aliran bebas, faktor-faktor yang mempengaruhi laju purata perjalanan, serta hubung kait antara laju purata perjalanan bagi kereta penumpang dan komposisi trafik. Keputusan kajian menunjuk bahawalaju purata perjalanan adalah berkadar langsung dengan laju aliran bebas, lebar lorong, dan lebar bahu jalan. Akan tetapi, laju purata perjalanan adalah berkadar songsang dengan ketumpatan akses jalan. Bagi peratusan zon tak boleh memotong pula, laju purata perjalanan akan menignkat dengan peningkatan peratusan zon tak boleh memotong dari 11.43% sehingga 55.67%. Akan tetapi, peningkatan ini akan berhenti pada suatu titik maksimum iaitu 55.67% dan akan berkurangan apabila peratusan zon tak boleh memotong meningkat iaitu dari 55.67% sehingga ke 85.71%. Bagi laju purata perjalan kereta penumpang, ia adalah berkadar langsung dengan peratusan kenderaan kelas 2, kelas 3, dan juga laju aliran bebas kereta penumpang. Akan tetapi, laju purata perjalanan kereta penumpang adalah berkadar songsang dengan peratusan kenderaan kelas 4 dan kelas 5. ___________________________________________________________________________________ Average travel speed (ATS) is currently one of the crucial performance indicators in the determination for the level of service for two-way two-lane highways in Malaysia. It has become a common practice for designers in Malaysia to use guidelines based on the US HCM when designing these highways. Therefore, this study to investigate the ATS on Malaysian two-lane two-way highways is crucial in order to identify the real traffic conditions. This investigation is done to reveal the relationship between ATS and Free Flow Speed, factors affecting ATS as well as the relationship between ATS of passenger car and traffic compositions. The result shows that ATS is directly proportional to FFS, lane width and shoulder width. However, ATS is found to be inversely proportional to access point density. ATS increases when percentage of nopassing zones increases which is at 11.43% to 55.67% of no-passing zones. After reaching a maximum point at 55.67% of no-passing zone, ATS will decrease when the percentage of no-passing zone continues to increase which is at of 55.67% to 85.71% of no-passing zones. For the case of ATSpc, it is directly proportional to the increase in percentage of class 2 and class 3 vehicles as well as the Free Flow Speed of passenger cars. However, it is inversely proportional to the increase of the class 4 and class 5 vehicles.
