Indonesia ABSTRACT Keywords: Investment Feasibility PTV Visum Tollroad This study examines the feasibility of the investment in the Yogyakarta-Bawen toll road project by analyzing traffic conditions, expenditure costs, toll revenues, and investment value. Simulation using PTV Visum shows a significant increase in the volume-to-capacity ratio (VCR) on the national road sections around the toll road until 2061. The modeling result also indicates that the operation of the toll road reduces traffic loads on several surrounding national road sections with a decrease in VCR. The analysis results reveal a negative net present value (NPV) amounting to -Rp. 506,560,648,100, and an internal rate of return (IRR) of 11. 49% is under the discount rate . 03%). In the tariff adjustment scenario, the project shows an IRR of 48% with an NPV of Rp 575,501 million, and the payback period (PBP) is achieved after 16 years. In the concession adjustment scenario, the IRR is 12. 12% with an NPV of Rp 123,461 million, and the PBP is achieved after 17 years. Meanwhile, the tariff and concession adjustment scenario show an IRR of 12. 48% with an NPV of Rp 652,033 million, and the PBP is achieved after 16 years. Based on the investment feasibility evaluation, the recommended best strategy is tariff adjustment. This strategy allows for an optimal increase in toll revenue and investment returns. It is expected that the Yogyakarta-Bawen toll road project can achieve better investment feasibility and provide long-term benefits to investors, road users, and the overall community.

Introduction The development of the Yogyakarta-Bawen Toll Road, as a part of the National Strategic Program, aimed to enhance growth, equitable development, and the well-being of society, as regulated in . The Yogyakarta-Bawen Toll Road holds strategic value in improving accessibility, connectivity, and the capacity of interregional road networks in Central Java and the Special Region of Yogyakarta . The toll road project is expected to reduce costs and travel time, enhance productivity and competitiveness through the reduction of distribution costs, and provide access to regional and international markets . Managed by PT. Jasamarga Jogja-Bawen (JJB), the toll road consists of six sections with a total length of 75. 82 km. Section 1 is scheduled to be operational in early 2024 and will be connected to the Solo-Yogyakarta-YIA Kulon Progo Toll Road . Planning for the construction of the Yogyakarta-Bawen Toll Road involves a concession agreement between the government and the Toll Road Business Entity . nown as BUJT), which regulates various investment parameters that have been agreed upon.

Accepted May 8th 2024 Available online May 31th 2024 changed in the implementation of this project is the construction schedule. Changes to the construction schedule occur due to adjustments in field conditions, including the land acquisition process, the land acquisition budget, and the availability of land for construction purposes . These changes demonstrate flexibility in facing challenges and changing circumstances that may arise during the project. Parameters related to the construction schedule are part of the government's preparations for fulfilling its commitment to land provision. The government is responsible for ensuring the availability of land required for the construction of the toll road . Factors that cannot be fully predicted, such as permitting processes, land dispute resolutions, or policy changes, necessitate adjustments to the construction schedule. Changes to the construction schedule have impacts on various aspects of the project, including traffic estimates, costs, and return on investment . The government and BUJT need to work effectively together to overcome barriers and challenges related to land acquisition. BUJT involved in the Yogyakarta-Bawen Toll Road Radyo Wijoyo Danubroto, et. INERSIA. Vol. No. May 2024 development project faces risks associated with changes to the construction schedule. These changes affect the previously established traffic projections in the initial agreement between the BUJT and the government. If there are delays in the construction, the projected traffic volume may not align with the actual conditions on the ground. This leads to a mismatch between the planned toll road capacity and the actual traffic demand, potentially impacting project revenue and feasibility . changes in travel routes, traffic distribution, and the influence of other transportation infrastructure. This helps identify potential congestion, traffic density, and toll road performance in different situations. By utilizing traffic simulation modelling using PTV Visum, more accurate and detailed traffic estimations can be made to support decision-making regarding the design, operation, and development of the Yogyakarta-Bawen Toll Road. This helps assess investment feasibility, plan optimal toll road capacity, and optimize resource allocation in the Yogyakarta-Bawen toll road development project. As a long-term investment, toll road development requires traffic estimation for the future . These estimations are crucial for assessing investment feasibility and making strategic decisions regarding the design, capacity, toll rates, and toll road operations. Analysis methods such as forecasting models, transportation modelling, and traffic simulation are used to predict future traffic volumes. Historical data, growth trends, as well as social and economic factors, are used as a basis to develop accurate estimation models. A thorough and comprehensive traffic estimation process helps stakeholders plan for optimal investments, identify risks and opportunities, and optimize resource utilization in toll road development. The investment feasibility of traffic volume changes can be measured using several financial evaluation methods, such as Net Present Value (NPV). Payback Period (PBP and Internal Rate of Return (IRR) . By using financial evaluation methods such as NPV. PBP, and IRR, the investment feasibility of traffic volume changes can be objectively assessed. If the toll road project can generate a positive NPV, achieve the PBP within a reasonable timeframe, and have an IRR exceeding the expected rate of return, then it can be considered a worthwhile This investment feasibility evaluation assists stakeholders in making strategic decisions and ensuring that the Yogyakarta-Bawen Toll Road project provides optimal financial benefits. Traffic simulation modelling using PTV Visum is one of the methods used for traffic estimation. PTV Visum is specialized software designed for transportation modelling and traffic simulation . With PTV Visum, detailed modelling is conducted regarding road characteristics, travel patterns, and interactions among vehicles on the planned toll road. In the estimation process, relevant data such as actual traffic data, travel data, and demographic data are used as inputs for the simulation modelling. PTV Visum then utilizes estimation methods like TFlowFuzzy and Least Square to generate traffic volume estimates for the planned toll road . The objective of this study is to assess the investment feasibility of the Yogyakarta-Bawen Toll Road development, including evaluating investment feasibility based on financial methods such as NPV. PBP, and IRR. This research will calculate and analyse the NPV. PBP, and IRR values of the project over the concession period of 40 years, starting from the land acquisition in 2021, to assess whether this project is financially viable and provides optimal returns on investment. The research results are expected to provide accurate recommendations based on data for decision-making regarding this project and contribute to improving the growth and connectivity of Central Java and the Special Region of Yogyakarta. TFlowFuzzy is a method that combines fuzzy logic techniques with traffic flow to estimate traffic volume. Fuzzy logic is used to handle uncertainty and ambiguity in traffic data. TFlowFuzzy provides more accurate traffic volume estimates by considering complex and nonlinear traffic conditions . Least Square is a statistical calculation used to find the best regression line or mathematical model that describes the relationship between dependent and independent variables in the data. The method searches for a model that has the least squared error between the observed data and the data estimated by the model. By using the Least Square method, parameter adjustments are made to the model to obtain more accurate traffic volume estimations . Method The research method used involves traffic counting surveys on nine road sections relevant to the YogyakartaBawen Toll Road project. These surveys were conducted by collecting data on traffic volume at various observation points during specific time periods. The identified traffic volume during peak hours through traffic counting surveys becomes an important input for traffic modelling using the PTV Visum software. By utilizing the collected peak-hour traffic volume data, traffic modelling with PTV Visum is conducted by Traffic simulation using PTV Visum allows PT. JJB to test various scenarios and different conditions, such as INERSIA. Vol. No. May 2024 Radyo Wijoyo Danubroto, et. inputting the volume data as parameters in the simulation. Road network depiction is done using secondary data provided by PT. JJB. In the road network modelling, zones are divided based on administrative regions that support the presence of the toll road. In total, there are 18 zones that serve as toll road support zones, as shown in Figure 1. used in the study. This demonstrates that the modelling has a high level of accuracy in predicting traffic volume based on the available survey data. In this study, traffic modelling was conducted to depict two different conditions: the do-nothing condition . ithout the toll roa. and the do-something condition . ith the toll roa. This modelling was carried out for a time range starting from the existing year . until the completion of the concession period of the YogyakartaBawen Toll Road project, which is 40 years until 2061 Through the Demand Matrix Correction procedure in the PTV VISUM software, the model will improve the origin and destination matrices by considering the available traffic survey data . Fuzzy logic approaches and least square methods are used to fill in unmeasured values or correct inaccuracies in the traffic survey data . , . In this study, to estimate future traffic volume, the average growth of Gross Regional Domestic Product (GRDP) from 2015 to 2021 was used. The data was obtained from 11 cities/districts, as sourced from publications by the Central Statistics Agency, as shown in Table 1. Table 1. Toll road traffic flow Average Annual Growth Regency/City Rate (%) Magelang Regency Semarang Regency Temanggung Regency Magelang City Salatiga City Semarang City Sleman Regency Yogyakarta City Kulon Progo Regency Bantul Regency Gunung Kidul Regency Average Growth (%) Standard Deviation Figure 1. Zones in the model After conducting traffic modelling with PTV Visum, the validity of the modelling results is assessed . One method that can be used to test validity is by calculating the coefficient of determination (R-squared or R. With the results of traffic volume modelling, the evaluation of VCR is carried out on the surrounding national road sections. The VCR is calculated by dividing the modelled traffic volume by the road capacity obtained from analysis based on the Indonesian Highway Capacity Manual (IHCM) 1997. If the modelling shows high traffic volume and a VCR exceeding 0. 75, it indicates the roadway is saturated. In traffic modelling using PTV Visum, the estimated number of vehicles on each road section is classified into categories I-V based on the provisions in Minister of Public Works and Public Housing Decree Number 370/KPTS/M/2007. Each vehicle Type has a different toll rate, which is used in toll revenue analysis. The toll rates are based on a study conducted by PT. JJB in 2021. The toll rate established is Rp. 1,875 per km with 3% tariff adjustment every two years. Figure 2. R2 validation Figure 2 indicates that approximately 88. 53% of the variability in traffic volume can be explained by the model Radyo Wijoyo Danubroto, et. INERSIA. Vol. No. May 2024 The results of this modelling can be used as a basis for investment feasibility evaluation, including calculating the NPV. PBP, and IRR values, as well as considering the need for changes and adjustments in the planning and management of the Yogyakarta-Bawen Toll Road project. The planning and investment costs of the toll road project obtained from PT. JJB are accumulated as capital expenditure (CAPEX). On the other hand, operational expenses (OPEX) are also accumulated as part of the project's investment feasibility analysis. In the investment feasibility analysis of the toll road project, both data, namely planning and investment costs (CAPEX) and operational expenses (OPEX), are viewed from a cash flow perspective. Cash flow is the inflow . and outflow . of money related to the project . Figure 3. Desire link zones in PTV Visum Performance of the National Road Network Before Toll Road Development The visualization of road network assignment in PTV Visum utilizes the survey data of the existing conditions in 2023, as shown in Figure 4. In this visualization, the road network assignment is displayed in the form of a graph, with the thickness of the link bars representing the level of VCR. NPV is a method used to measure the present value of cash flows generated by an investment project, considering the expected rate of return. If the NPV is positive, it is considered feasible . PBP is a parameter for evaluating the feasibility of an investment in a project that measures the time it takes to recover the initial investment from the cash flows generated by the project. PBP determines how long it takes for revenue to cover the invested capital. shorter PBP means a quicker project can generate profits that can be reinvested or used for further development. The PBP can be visualized in the form of a graph . The IRR is the internal rate of return that indicates the expected rate of return from an investment . The IRR is the discount rate that makes the NPV of the project equal to In the initial planning by PT. JJB, the discount rate used was 12. If the IRR exceeds the expected rate of return, then the project is considered profitable. Figure 4. Road network assignment Result Trip Generation and Trip Attraction The visualization of movement between desire line zones is performed based on the travel patterns generated by the simulation model (Figure . Desire line zones provide information about the expected or desired travel patterns of road users within the road network affected by the construction of the Yogyakarta-Bawen Toll Road . This helps to consider the desired flow of travel by road users, predict traffic congestion levels at various points, and evaluate the impact of road design changes on travel Figure 5.

Timeline of Yogyakarta-Bawen toll road Based on the modelling results using PTV Visum in the do-nothing scenario, it is evident that the traffic conditions on the toll road tend to increase each year. As a result, almost all national road sections within the area become saturated, with vehicle volumes exceeding the maximum On the other hand, based on the modelling results in the do-something scenario, the traffic conditions on the road sections affected by the Yogyakarta-Bawen Toll Road project experience a decrease in VCR. This decrease indicates that the operation of the toll road helps alleviate the traffic burden on the related road sections, resulting in improved traffic flow and better road capacity. With the toll road in place, the volume that was previously causing saturation on the national road sections is redirected to the toll road, providing a more efficient and faster transportation alternative. Toll Tariff Analysis The toll rates are divided into three categories: Type I includes sedans. SUVs, pickups, small trucks, and buses. Type IIA includes trucks with 2 axles (Type II) and trucks with 3 axles (Type . Type IIB includes trucks with 4 axles (Type IV) and trucks with 5 axles (Type V). The 21 tariff per km for each vehicle type is presented in Table 5. Traffic Flow Analysis Traffic flow is categorized into Flow A and Flow B. Flow A indicates traffic heading towards Bawen, while Flow B indicates traffic heading towards Yogyakarta. The traffic volume data is then converted into pcu/year units using a conversion factor of 11% or AADT (Annual Average Daily Traffi. based on the conversion value from IHCM Table 2 shows the traffic flow analysis for each section of the Yogyakarta-Bawen Toll Road. Toll Revenue Toll revenue in the project feasibility is based on multiplying the AADT particularly the estimated heavy road traffic load with the applicable toll rates. The AADT used is an estimation of the number of vehicles expected to pass through the toll road in one year, based on the modelling results from PTV Visum. The total toll revenue per vehicle type is presented in Table 6. The traffic flow resulting from the modelling with PTV Visum is then used to calculate the composition of toll vehicles as the basis for revenue analysis, as shown in Table 3.

In toll road feasibility, calculating OPEX is an important factor to evaluate the sustainability and profitability of the project, as shown in Table 7. CAPEX and OPEX CAPEX in toll road feasibility refers to the capital expenditure required to build the toll road infrastructure. The total CAPEX is Rp. 15,446,882,320,000 and consists of various components of capital costs that need to be considered in the toll road feasibility study. INERSIA.

Controlling costs during the construction and development phase (CAPEX) helps ensure efficient initial investments, while controlling operational costs (OPEX) ensures that the toll revenue generated is sufficient to cover operational expenses and ensures the long-term viability of the toll road. The PBP refers to the time required to reach a point where revenue equals the initial investment amount by changing the cash flow value from negative to positive, as presented in Figure 7. The achievement of PBP in the 17th year indicates that the project has reached the expected level of financial feasibility within that time frame. This suggests that the project can begin generating profits after surpassing the initial period, which may require significant investment for infrastructure development. Net Present Value (NPV) Internal Rate of Return (IRR) In the NPV analysis, all cash flows related to the toll road project, such as toll revenue, operational costs, initial investment, and maintenance expenses, are collected and adjusted with the desired discount rate. Subsequently, the present value of all these cash flows is calculated and subtracted from the initial investment. Considering the schedule, discount rate, and generated cash flows, the NPV analysis provides a more comprehensive view of the economic value of the toll road project. The NPV analysis is presented in Table 8. In this study, cash flows with a return period corresponding to the concession period of 40 years were The IRR of 11. 49% indicates the internal rate of return of the investment project. The IRR is the discount rate that makes the present value of investment cash flows equal to zero. Practically, this means that the project is considered feasible if the actual rate of return . he actual rate of return obtained from the projec. he assumed value use. If the actual rate of return is lower than 12. 03%, the project may be considered unfeasible or yield less favorable returns.

Figure 7. PBP of Yogyakarta-Bawen toll road Feasibility Strategy Scenarios project's cash flows exceeds the initial investment. PBP in this scenario is achieved after 16 years. Based on the research findings, it was found that the NPV value of the Yogyakarta-Bawen toll road project until 2061 is -Rp 675,823,962,560. The negative NPV value indicates that the project currently does not generate a present value that exceeds the initial investment. To make the project feasible, the implementation of appropriate development strategies is required. The following scenarios were Scenario 1 = Tariff Adjustment Scenario 2 = Concession Period Adjustment (Extended to 50 year. Scenario 3 = Tariff and Concession Period Adjustment (Extended to 50 year. Tariff adjustment provides the potential for increased toll revenue and optimizes the investment return.

The utilization of PTV Visum in the modeling process offers the advantage of obtaining a clearer picture of traffic saturation levels and changes in traffic flow in the future . The modeling also considers other factors that can influence traffic volume, such as incorporating GRDP data from 11 cities and regencies, which enables a more accurate estimation of future traffic volumes. In this process, the modeling considers the complex relationship between economic growth and mobility rates, thereby providing a more realistic portrayal of traffic changes along the toll road. present value, achieving PBP after 17 years and a positive IRR indicate potential worthwhile returns in the long run. Conclusion The investment feasibility of the Yogyakarta-Bawen toll road project shows that the traffic conditions on the national roads surrounding the toll road experience a significant increase in congestion, with the number of heavily congested road sections rising from 24 in the existing conditions to 44 in 2061. After considering various operational scenarios for the toll road, the analysis of the financial impact of traffic congestion revealed an initial unfavourable NPV and IRR below the interest rate. However, with the implementation of suitable measures on multiple national roads, there was a noticeable shift in traffic towards the toll road, leading to enhanced traffic flow and a subsequent improvement in the project's financial prospects. With tariff adjustment, the project can achieve a positive NPV (Rp. 575,501 million. and a good IRR 48%>12. 03%). The results of this investment feasibility study can serve as a basis for the government and BUJT to make decisions regarding the development and management of the toll road project. Regarding validation using R2, the result demonstrates the quality and reliability of the models in predicting traffic volume on national and toll road segments. The R2 validation provides an indication of how well the observed data aligns with the modeled results . By achieving high R2 values . lose to . , it can be confirmed that the modeling results have good accuracy and can be relied upon as an effective tool for predicting traffic volume in the future. NPV. PBP and IRR as Tollroad Investment Feasibility The NPV is a method used to measure the present value of cash flows generated by the project. In this research, the analysis indicates that the NPV value of the project until 2061 is negative at -Rp. 675,823,962,560. This suggests that initially, the project does not generate a present value exceeding the initial investment. However, it is important to note that a negative NPV does not always indicate project infeasibility. Further analysis should consider other factors, such as economic and social benefits, that are not represented solely by NPV. References
