Abstract

This study has two objectives. First, this study investigated the barriers and their relationship that make ITS project development in Semarang City still hard. Second, this study aimed to propose some policies to mitigate those barriers. This study identifies 16 ITS project implementation barriers based on the previous research. Then, to fulfill the research objectives, this study employs three distinct methods: content validity analysis as a technique to measuring how well the factors correspond to or reflect a barrier to the ITS project’s implementation; interpretive structural modeling (ISM) as a technique for determining the direct or indirect between barriers; and Delphi as the technique to find the consensus of proposed policies to mitigate the significant barriers. The result of data processing with ISM indicated that internal organizational barriers in the context of the timing of procedure for writing plans, divided responsibilities, and the right organizational system to drive ITS project’s implementation occupied the topmost level. This barrier is affected by the lower level and has less influence than the remaining barriers. The result of data processing with the ISM method also indicated three very significant barriers to the ITS project’s implementation, namely low interoperability of the system at the Department of Transportation Semarang City, which is making it challenging to integrate the ITS-based transportation system; lack of involvement of related institutions to build long-term commitment and awareness that ITS project’s implementation has potential lack of awareness that the ITS project’s implementation has the potential to reduce crashes and save lives; and political problems (political short-termism or discontinuities due to political cycles). Then, the result of data processing with Delphi proposed and validated several policies to mitigate those barriers.
