Several models capturing these behavioral features have been developed

from both macroscopic and microscopic perspectives. The macroscopic

approach is mostly developed on the basis of the kinematic wave model,

which is extended to represent the motorcycle- specic behaviors by

considering areal density (Khan and Maini 1999), ltering (Powell

2000), and oblique following (Nair, Mahmassani, and Miller-Hooks

2011). Combining these extensions with a network-wide mixed-

trafc simulation platform such as DynaTAIWAN (Hu et al. 2007)

could help in realizing an area-wide trafc evaluation considering

motorcycles,which would be useful for transportation planning, and

management.

The naïve microscopic approach considers motorcycles ...
