Abstract

Indian roads in medium size cities have witnessed large number of two wheeler users in the recent years. It is observed that their volume varies according to the prevailing weather conditions. Although efficient mode selection in inclement weather conditions is an important issue for the convenience of commuters, their socioeconomic condition is a major governing factor for modal shift. The study aims to understand the relationship of socioeconomic status with mode change in inclement weather conditions with respect to work trips of two wheeler users. It also tries to understand the importance of affordability, comfort, trip duration, reliability and maneuverability across different socioeconomic classes.
