Title: | Analyzing Potential Impacts of Motorcycle Travel Demand Management Using an Activity-Based Travel Demand Model for Ho Chi Minh City, Vietnam | Authors: | HOANG, Thuy Linh Tuan, Vu ADNAN, Muhammad BELLEMANS, Tom |
Issue Date: | 2023 | Publisher: | Elsevier | Source: | Procedia Computer Science, Elsevier, p. 567 -574 | Abstract: | This paper analyses the potential impacts of motorcycle travel demand management strategies for Ho Chi Minh city, a motorcycle dominant city of Vietnam. Four scenarios on managing the use of motorcycle are analyzed using an activity-based travel demand model called FEATHERS-HCMC. The model is adapted from the FEATHERS model developed for Flanders, Belgium and based on the household travel survey in Ho Chi Minh City. The modeling framework of FEATHERS-HCMC is a combination of the heuristic rules and the econometric models. The simulation results suggest that a strong enforcement on motorcycle use would significantly reduce motorcycle trips and induce the rearrangement of location and time-of-day for daily activities. These results provide empirical evidence that shows several advantages of using activity-based travel demand models comparing to the current four-step models. FEATHERS-HCMC is a promising tool to support decision-making process for assessing sustainable transportation policies, not only for HCMC but for other regions with similar characteristics.
