Abstract
The fast growing rate of motorcycle ownership in Malaysia has become a serious problem in safety issues and management of traffic system in urban areas throughout Malaysia. To date, approximately 5.8 million motorcycles are on the roads in Malaysia and accidents rate involving motorcycles is high, almost half of the total road fatalities recorded. However, regardless of the high accident rate involving motorcycles, motorcycle ownership in Malaysia has increased rapidly from 0.13 motorcycles per person in year 1990 to 0.26 in year 2004. In this research, issues concerning motorcycle ownership were investigated. A stated preference survey was conducted in Penang state, Malaysia to determine the trend of motorcycle ownership. An attempt to develop a disaggregate choice model based on the data collected was also conducted. Development of this model will give an indication on the future trend of motorcycle ownership in Malaysia which is important in forecasting future travel demand.
