Drivers’ behaviors to look for a parking space are affected by numerous influence factors, and there are differences between motorcycle drivers and other drivers, such as car drivers and truck drivers. In many developing countries, motorcycles dominate urban transportation, and it is essential to assess the impact of motorcycle drivers’ parking choice behavior as a solution to reduce the effect on traffic flow. This study identified the influence factors of motorcycle drivers’ parking lot choice models in a developing country, Viet Nam. Data were collected in a motorcycle dependent city, Ho Chi Minh (HCM) City, typically. A stated preference (SP) survey was designed and collected 318 answers from motorcycle drivers. Various discrete choice models under the assumption of random utility maximizations (RUM), which included the mixed logit model, multinomial logit model, and nested logit model, were employed to evaluate the influence factors on motorcycle drivers’ parking choice behavior models. The results showed that the mixed logit model fit with the data. Parking fee, walking distance, the capacity of the parking lot, and queuing time have significant effects on parking lot choice modeling. However, navigation and street sign variables showed a lesser effect on the choices of motorcycle users. This study towards parking planning solution for motorcycles and the author expects that it would be helpful to further study on the parking lot in developing countries.
