| description | One of the challenges to the planning of transportation is the development of road
performance that properly reflects the level of service. The road performance measure or level-of-service
scale currently used in the HCM 2010 has basic calculations for motor vehicle, pedestrians and bicycle,
but there is no method to use for motorcycle, so this paper assessed rider perception of performance of
exclusive motorcycle lane to objective measures of service performance model. Data for the model using
field data and video surveys were collected in three exclusive motorcycle lanes in Malaysia. The video
surveys data consist of participants’ perceptions of comfort, convenience, safety, manoeuvrability, and
operational characteristics of exclusive motorcycle lanes. For this reason fifty video clips from a viewpoint
of a motorcyclist riding were used. Total 261 participants who were randomly selected contributed in this
study and filled out survey forms. Each participant saw ten video clips and ranked them on a scale from
‘Excellent to ‘Very Poor’. The data were analyzed using a logistic regression model. The result show
model is good reliable and has a good correlation coefficient (COX=0.72). Also the important factors to
rider perceived road performance were motorcycle speed, total lane width, motorcycle volume and
pavement surface quality.
The outcome provides guideline for engineers and transportation planners to evaluate different design
options by changing the independent variables to find the best combination of factors to achieve the desired
road performance. Also existing roadways can be evaluated to determine the present performance level or
level-of-service on all segments. On the other hand, this study is also seen as filling the existing knowledge
gap between the various types of land transportation amenities and facilities such as pedestrians, bicycles,
and vehicles which provides the state service performance index or level-of-service (LOS) of motorcycle
facilities. |
