Their multidisciplinary team employs advanced simulation tools such as SIDRA, VISSIM, EMME, and Paramics, enabling precise analysis for both current traffic and future projections.
Key Findings from the EVCC™ Pedas RSA TIA Report
Commissioned in 2022, the TIA for EVCC™ Pedas RSA (located at KM241 (Southbound) PLUS Expressway) provided robust traffic modeling and volume projections. Here are the highlights:
Existing Demand is High—And Growing
Over 67,000 vehicles per day (16-hour count) were recorded between Senawang and Pedas/Linggi (Oct 2022)
Car/Van/Taxi dominates usage: 89.7% of traffic composition
Peak hour was recorded between 8:15–8:30 AM, with over 1,200 vehicles
Projected Traffic Surpassing 175,000 by 2060
Based on 24-hour projections validated by Rekarunding Trafik, EVCC™ Pedas RSA is strategically positioned along a steadily growing expressway corridor. The anticipated growth highlights the site's long-term commercial relevance:
84,101 vehicles/day by 2025
110,118 vehicles/day by 2035
175,162 vehicles/day by 2060
This consistent year-on-year growth—averaging between 3.19% in the early years and stabilizing at ~1.5% post-2045—reinforces the long-term viability of EVCC™ Pedas RSA as a flagship RSA catering to high-throughput private and commercial highway users.
Implications for Design and Capacity
The report guided several key aspects of the RSA’s planning:
Vehicle-type distribution, informing parking allocation for heavy trucks, buses, and private vehicles
Ingress/Egress point configuration, designed to maintain uninterrupted flow into PLUS E2 Expressway
Peak Hour Response, ensuring congestion mitigation during festive or weekend travel surges
TIA: A Mandatory Milestone for RSA Compliance
As per Lembaga Lebuhraya Malaysia (LLM) regulations, all new RSA developments must undergo a comprehensive Traffic Impact Assessment. With Rekarunding Trafik’s expert guidance, EVCC™ Pedas RSA has met and exceeded this requirement—ensuring a development that is not only visionary but fully aligned with regulatory and safety standards from day one.
