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 />
