KEY COMPONENTS OF A MOTORCYCLE-TRAFFIC SYSTEM: A STUDY ALONG THE MOTORCYCLE PATH IN MALAYSIA

Studies have shown that in countries where motorcycle ridership is high and safety problems are a concern, exclusive motorcycle facilities may provide the safest journey for riders. In this paper, the authors focus on determining the basic characteristics of a motorcycle-traffic system in Malaysia. Digital recordings of motorcyclists riding along an existing motorcycle path were captured and used for establishing space requirements, operating space, and riding patterns. This data is expected to lead to a better understanding of the motorcycle traffic operations, speed-flow-density relationships, facility designs, and to better estimate the capacity and level-of-service for an exclusive motorcycle path in Malaysia.
