| Summary: | The research was designed to invertigate the potential of cycling as transportation mode.
There were three studies in this research, namely; first, the potential for cycling as a
transportation mode for activities on campus; second, the potential of cycling as feeder
mode in public transportation system; and third, the potential of cycling for the trip
from home to school. The studies were chosen because the trip in the studies are short
distance. The cycling are potential for short distance trips.
The first study covers the whole area of the University of Malaya campus in Kuala
Lumpur, Malaysia. The second and third study cover one area in Petaling Jaya (PJ),
namely Taman Medan area. Sets of questionnaire were designed and distributed and
there were two (2) types of survey undertaken for this study i.e. field survey and webbased
survey. A total of 1044 respondents were involved in this study.
Statistical analysis (Multivariate test) was used to investigate the significant influence of
the socioeconomic characteristic on the travel behavior, while the Structural Equation
Models (SEM) approach was utilized to rank the impediment factors for cycling.
The
regression models were develop to investigate the relationship of willingness to cycle
againts the travel time and travel cost. The sensitivity analysis also conducted.
With regards to the potential for cycling around campus.
The potential for cycling is
very high. Health and environment concerned are the most considered as the reason for
cycling. While the main constraint for cycling is the rainy day. As the result in this
study, regarding the cycling facilities, the majority of respondents suggested the
exclusive bike path for cycling around campus |
