【 摘 要 】

The road traffic systems, travel patterns and other traffic characteristics are different for each country due to differences in the geometric patterns, available transport facilities for commuters, proportional and type of the vehicle itself and so on. In Indonesia, the standard of pce (Passenger Car Equivalent) value found on IHCM (Indonesian Highway Capacity Manual) published in 1997. IHCM stated that the value of pce for heavy vehicles and motorcycles are 1.3 and 0.5 respectively. On these day, regarding Medan as a third biggest city in Indonesia, there have been lot of changes with regarding to the composition of the vehicle, as well as variations of the type of the vehicle itself. Becak bermotor (motorized tricycles) is a vehicle which is widely available in the city of Medan. Data from Medan City Transportation Department stated that there are more than 20,000 motorized motorized tricycles vehicles operating in the city at these day. Pce value of these rickshaws will be calculated based on observations at road and intersections in Medan. The calculation result shows that the pce value of motorized rickshaw is more than 1. This value will make the calculations regarding the performance of the traffic can be performed more accurately.
