Key Conclusions<br />

Population will continue to grow in the region, increasing the demand to travel.<br />

Employment intensification is proposed in key centres, particularly in centre KL.<br />

The concentration of employment will be more and more difficult to serve without major<br />

increases in LPT mode share.<br />

Employment areas will need good accessibility to maintain the economic status of the region.<br />

3.5) Future Travel Demands<br />

A series of Transport Analysis Tools have been developed to assess the key considerations of land<br />

use and transport schemes on future travel demands, travel times and accessibility. The tools<br />

include:<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

<br />

Land use database which utilises the data provided by DBKL, Selangor UPEN, Perbadanan<br />

Putrajaya and local district plans<br />

Trip generation model which uses the land use information to derive the forecast travel<br />

demands in the region<br />

Multi-modal transport model which derives the future travel patterns on the network in<br />

terms of flows, and travel times<br />

Accessibility model which shows the impact of travel times on access to locations within the<br />

study area for catchment area analysis<br />

Forecasts have been produced for the morning peak 2020 situation with those committed schemes<br />

and the MRT1 rail line. The forecast morning peak hour travel demands by all modes (private and<br />

LPT) in the region show large radial movements towards the central KL (see Figure 3.3). Demand for<br />

all modes crossing the Middle Ring Road (MRR)1 as forecast for 2020 shows strong flows in all the<br />

corridors with the highest demands being from the Petaling Jaya/ Shah Alam/ Klang corridor.<br />

Within the region there are also strong orbital demands in the suburban areas (see Figure 3.4),<br />

particularly to areas such as Petaling Jaya and Shah Alam. The largest flows are in the Petaling Jaya<br />

area along corridors such as the North-South Expressway and the Damansara-Puchong Expressway<br />

(LDP) corridor. In addition to these flows between centres, there is a wide diversity of local<br />

movements within the suburban areas such as local movements within Shah Alam or Klang. Although<br />

lower than the radial demands into the centre KL, these demands require high quality LPT access.<br />
