| description | This paper presents about the reality of motorization phenomena and
the use of public transport in Perak, Malaysia. The quantitative analysis to be
performed to show the existing motorization trend against some other factors
related. Data set collected, such as population, socio-economic, vehicle registration,
accident data, and other factors were used for analyzing the characteristics and
indicators of motorization. Statistical test was carried out for validation of model
parameters.
The impacts of motorization and some transportation problems were extensively
discussed. Congestion, road accidents, noise, pollution, fuel consumption are
among the important issues related with motorization problems. Promoting of public
transport currently becomes interesting choice in anticipating the serious trend of
motorization. Otherwise, the near future challenges of motorization are transport
management to minimize congestion, accidents, noise, pollution and fuel
consumption and promoting the use of public transport. The results indicate the
remarks on impacts of motorization and some potential anticipation. The public
awareness in advantages of public transport use will encourage the success of
promoting public transport and will empower the people to use public transport as an
alternative to reduce private cars use. |
