Abstract:

Much research has been conducted on trying to solve traffic problems and applied successfully in many developed countries where the car is the main transport mode. However, it has not been effective in most developing countries where the motorbike, rather than the car, is the main transport vehicle. This paper estimates the passenger car equivalent of motorbikes under simulation analysis. Simulation scenarios are constructed and run, and the results are analyzed to determine that factor. The research shows that the passenger car equivalent of motorbikes depends on traffic conditions. The factor is expected as a useful parameter when applying traffic research in developing countries.
