| Abstract | The main objective of this research was to present the
traffic f l ow patterns and characteristics of private
transport modes travelling in to and through central Bangkok.
Traffic desires, the spatial separation and distribution,
vehicle occupancy, and trip distribution were analyzed.
cars were found to be the major contributor to the traffic flow, amounting to 5 13 o f the total traffic during the morning peak (0700-0900 hours) The must important trip
purpose was work-business trips. The mean trip length of
cars making work trips in t his period was 11.2 km; the 05th
percentile trip length of such trips was 17 km The main
factor affecting these t rips was found to be the attractive ness of t h e destination zones, which have high densities o f job opportunities. Such car trips carried only about two persons each . The trip distribution models derived ensured that of all the car trips generated to
work-business, 60% of them were described by the model. For non-work-business trips, about 35% of all such the trips
were described by the model. |
