Importance of Non-Motorized Transport Modeling in Asia-Pacific Region

Discover the significance of Non-Motorized Transport (NMT) modeling in Asia-Pacific region, with insights on vehicle types, economic analysis effects, and impact on Motorized Transport (MT) operations. Learn how NMT influences traffic flow, operating costs, energy consumption, and safety-related costs, contributing to efficient transport systems in the region. Explore the NMT Speed-Flow model, Operating Cost model, and the impact of NMT on MT operating costs. Find out how NMT modeling impacts MT flow and speed, offering valuable insights for road infrastructure maintenance and travel demand predictions. Conclude with HDM-4's conceptual framework for NMT modeling and the need for further modification, calibration, and validation via empirical studies.

  1. Modeling Non-Motorized Transport (NMT) in HDM-4 Md. Mahabubul Bari Roads & Highways Department Bangladesh

  2. Importance of NMT in Asia and Pacific Region • 10 to 90 % of Traffic in China, India, Indonesia, and Bangladesh is NMT • In Tokyo, about 30% of the total trip is cyclist • Wide range of intermediate modes of transport between pedestrians and MT in Asia and hence Transport systems in Asia are very efficient

  3. NMT Vehicle Types in HDM-4 • Pedestrians • Bicycles • Cycle Rickshaws • Animal Carts • Farm Tractors (not implemented)

  4. Effects of NMT on Economic Analysis • MT Flow and Speed • MT Operating Costs • NMT Speed-Flow ( Partially Implemented) • NMT Operating Costs • NMT Energy Consumption • MT and NMT Safety Related Cost (NI) • Road Deterioration and Maintenance (NI) • NMT Travel Demand (NI)

  5. Impact of NMT on MT Impact on MT Operating Cost NMT Speed Model NMT Speed-Flow Model NMT Operating Cost MT Free Speed * XNMT Acceleration Noise Limiting Speed Model Not Implemented Structured Regression Model Modeling Impact of NMT

  6. Conclusions • HDM-4 provides some conceptual framework for modeling NMT • Needs further Modification, Calibration and Validation with respect to Empirical Studies
