The readiness of UMS resident to implement congestion charging in Kota Kinabalu city centre

Kota Kinabalu is a developing city on the West Coast of Sabah which is facing the consequences of the exponential increase in population and motorisation. As more vehicles are on the road, so does the severity of the congestion. This causes a chain reaction that not only will damage the city’s traff...

From this study, it was discovered that the Singapore model of adjusting price based on the Level of Service and enforcement using RFID technology is the most advanced, and charging based on vehicle emission has a faster diminishing return as discovered in Milan. From the survey data, the model was developed and was revealed that increase in price for the congestion charge does reduce the number of people willing to drive. 2020 Thesis https://eprints.ums.edu.my/id/eprint/41688/ https://eprints.ums.edu.my/id/eprint/41688/1/24%20PAGES.pdf text en public https://eprints.ums.edu.my/id/eprint/41688/2/FULLTEXT.pdf text en validuser masters Universiti Malaysia Sabah Fakulti Kejuruteraan
