Land bank is one of the most important instruments of sustainable development of properties. However, land banking is still considered very risky as the actual use of land is difficult to fill (Van Dijk and Kopeva in Land Use Policy 23:286–301, 2006). Gilbert (Habitat Int 33:425–435, 2009) argues that land bank managers need to know how and why the...

The traffic congestion during peak hour in Malaysia is becoming worst from year to year due to the increase of traffic demand volume. At the year 2018, the total accumulated vehicles in Malaysia are 14,415,978 vehicles in 2018 based on 16-hours traffic volume [4]. Based on this figure, the normal growth of the vehicle has increased by 0.74% per yea...

Congestion is a normal occurrence on the urban Malaysian expressway system, usually associated with areas having entrance ramp, exit ramp and weaving section. A good practice for expressway system can be determined by the efficiency of the traffic operation itself. Thus, this research paper provides the assessment of level of service for entrance r...

It is important for traffic engineers in Malaysia to comply with the relevant and appropriate standards and manuals to determine the performance of highway facilities that will provide accurate result reflecting the existing operation of highways. This paper provides the comparative study in performance evaluation of ramp segment between Malaysia H...

Quarry operation is well-known as one of the activities that helps to increase Malaysia’s economy. Some of the country in the world describe quarry as an activity that can help to increase their economy but some of the country describe it as one of the activities that can bring damages to the surrounding. In Malaysia, quarry operation is monitored...

The land bank is one of the most important instruments of the sustainable development of properties. However, land banking is still considered very risky as the actual use of the land is difficult to fill (Van Dijk and Kopeva, 2006). Gilbert (2009) argues that land bank managers need to know how and why they need to take steps to increase the marke...

Employee retention strategies at Oil and Gas industry in Malaysia are examined in this research. Using quantitative method, 145 employees of chosen Oil and Gas organization participated in a survey in which to identify organizational factors that influences employee retention. The findings show the organizational factors of job embeddedness and job...

The main purpose of this research is to investigate the perceived risks to online shopping by students in a private university in Selangor. To achieve this purpose, this research deduced its conceptual framework from past researches, using three independent variables which are; privacy and security risk, financial risk and delivery risk. Thus, at t...

This study aims to identify the relationship between the acceptance of Crowdsourcing platform by using TAM model (Perceives Ease of Use, Perceive Usefulness, and Behavioural Intention). A survey questionnaire was designed as a research instrument to evaluate respondents and find out the relationship between perceive ease of use, perceive usefulness...

Exclusive Motorcycle Lane (EML) is defined as a roadway meant exclusively for motorcycles or can be stated as motorcyclists who are compelled by law to use it and other vehicles are prohibited by law from using it. It is physically separated from the mainstreams carriageway and is grade separated from the main carriageway at intersections, intercha...

Abstract— This study aims to measure the effectiveness of guidelines between US Highway Capacity Manual 2010 and Malaysian Highway Capacity Manual 2011 to evaluate the performance of multilane highway. The study was conducted based on field work by using Trax Appolyon Traffic Counter from 6 October 2016 to 10 October 2016 and the data were collecte...

Abstract The relationship between the two speeds which are the posted speed limits design speed principle and actual operating speed are among the crucial factors in determining appropriate speed limits in a speed zone. This research paper investigates the speed trend at three different spot locations along Jalan Meru Multilane Highway. The spot...

This chapter discusses the duration to compute the 85th percentile. As the computation of 85th percentile involves huge data depending on the study, it is important to have efficient tools to speed up the process of 85th data calculation and for the researcher to develop an 85th Data Calculator named 85DC to perform more efficient data calculation....
