North Butterworth Container Terminal (NBCT) dan empat persimpangan telah dipilih dalam kajian ini untuk menunjukkan kesan trafik dalam penggunaan tanah berkaitan logistik. Empat persimpangan tersebut ialah Persimpangan Pintu Masuk NBCT (Persimpangan A), Persimpangan Jalan Heng Choon Thian/Jalan Bagan Luar/Jalan Kampung Gajah (Persimpangan B), Persimpangan Lebuhraya Butterworth Kulim/Jalan Siram/Jalan Sungai Nyior (Persimpangan C) dan Persimpangan Lebuhraya Lingkaran Luar Butterworth/Jalan Chain Ferry/Jalan Syarikat (Persimpangan D). Data trafik telah dikumpul di pintu masuk NBCT dan empat persimpangan berhampiran dengan terminal kontena tersebut. Operasi NBCT disiasat melalui pemerhatian dan temubual yang telah dijalankan dengan pihak pengurusan Penang Port Sdn. Bhd. Hasil analisis memberikan penjanaan perjalanan dan waktu puncak NBCT, dan menunjukkan variasi dalam permintaan lalu lintas oleh jenis kenderaan ke terminal kontena dan dari terminal kontena tersebut. Daripada data yang dikumpul, purata masa proses lori berat di kaunter pendaftaran NBCT adalah 104.8s. Semasa waktu puncak, terdapat 50 lori berat yang beratur dan menunggu di jalan pendekatan NBCT. Perjalanan tertinggi yang dijanakan oleh NBCT adalah dari 1615 jam hingga 1715 jam dengan jumlah 1697 pcu/jam. Dari NBCT, 73% lori berat bergerak ke Persimpangan B dengan melalui Persimpangan A. Apabila lori berat tiba di Persimpangan B, 90% daripada lori berat bergerak ke Persimpangan C. 51% lori berat yang tiba di Persimpangan C bergerak ke Persimpangan D. Daripada analisis, ia menunjukkan bahawa peratusan tinggi lori berat bergerak sepanjang laluan dari NBCT ke kawasan perindustrian Mak Mandin dan Prai dan sebaliknya. Dari analisis kapasiti, jalan pendekatan di setiap persimpangan dengan jumlah lori berat yang tinggi menunjukkan LOS E dan F.

The North Butterworth Container Terminal (NBCT) and four intersections were selected in this study to address the traffic impact of logistic-related land use. The four intersections are NBCT Entrance Intersection (Intersection A), Jalan Heng Choon Thian/Jalan Bagan Luar/Jalan Kampung Gajah Intersection (Intersection B), Lebuhraya Butterworth Kulim/Jalan Siram/Jalan Sungai Nyior Intersection (Intersection C), and Lebuhraya Lingkaran Luar Butterworth/Jalan Chain Ferry/Jalan Perusahaan Intersection (Intersection D). Traffic data was collected at the entry of NBCT and four intersections near to the container terminal. The operation of NBCT is investigated by observation and interview conducted with the management team of Penang Port Sdn. Bhd. The results of analysis provide trip generation and peak hour of NBCT, and the variation in the traffic demand by vehicle types to and from the container terminal. From the data collected, the average process time of heavy lorries at the registration counter of NBCT is 104.8s. During the peak hour, there are 50 heavy lorries queued and waited on the NBCT approach road. The highest trip generated by NBCT is from 1615 hrs to 1715 hrs with the volume of 1697 pcu/hr. From NBCT, 73% of heavy lorries travelled to Intersection B by passing through Intersection A. As the heavy lorries reached Intersection B, 90% of the heavy lorries travelled to Intersection C. 51% of heavy lorries arrived at Intersection C travelled to Intersection D. From the analysis, it shows that high percentage of heavy lorries travelled along route from NBCT to Mak Mandin and Prai industrial area and vice versa. From the capacity analysis, the approach roads at each intersection with high volume of heavy lorries show LOS E and F.
