Despite widespread growth in on-road public transport priority schemes, road management authorities have few tools to evaluate
the impacts of these schemes on all road users. This paper describes a methodology developed in Melbourne, Australia to assist
the road management authority, VicRoads, evaluate trade-offs in the use of its limited road-space for new bus and tram priority
projects. The approach employs traffic micro-simulation modelling to assess road-space re-allocation impacts, travel behaviour
modelling to assess changes in travel patterns and a social cost benefit framework to evaluate impacts. The evaluation considers
a comprehensive range of impacts including the environmental benefits of improved public transport services. Impacts on public
transport reliability improvements are also considered. Although improved bus and tram reliability is a major rationale for
traffic priority its use in previous evaluations is rare. The paper critiques previous approaches, describes the proposed
method and explores some of the results found in its application. A major finding is that despite a more comprehensive approach
to measuring the benefits of bus and tram priority, road-space reallocation is difficult to economically justify in road networks
where public transport usage is low and car usage high. Strategies involving the balanced deployment of bus and tram priority
measures where the allocation of time and space to PT minimises negative traffic impacts is shown to improve the overall management
of road-space. A discussion of the approach is also provided including suggestions for further methodology development.

Due to a variety of reasons, the previous century is characterized by an extraordinary growth in car use that has continued
into the current century. This has resulted in serious environmental repercussions. Despite technological advancements, the
externalities remain an ecological threat that can not be discarded by policy makers. Therefore, it is essential that policy
makers focus on reducing car use and on stimulating the shift towards more environment-friendly transport modes. In this study,
Q-methodology is adopted as the technique to segment people, and to ascertain which approaches and determinants matter to
medium distance travel. Segmentation is important, as policy measures will be more efficient and effective if they are fine-tuned
on specific target groups. The analysis revealed that four discourses preponderate the paradigm of environmentally sustainable
transport: travelers who use public transport as a dominant alternative, car-dependent travelers, travelers with a positive
perception of using public transport, and travelers with a preference for car use. Concerning rational, economic motives,
individuals evaluate travel time reliability as most important. To increase the reliability policy makers should consider
the use of separate bus lanes and traffic light manipulation. In addition, public transport can be made even more attractive,
when costs of cars are made more variable by road or congestion charging. When the s motives are discussed, the differences
between the different groups of travelers were more pronounced. Next to increasing the benefits of using public transport,
policy makers should also pay attention to removing psycho-social barriers.

The effect of the London congestion charge on road casualties: an intervention analysis 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
The introduction of the congestion charge in central London on the 17th of February, 2003, led to a reduction in congestion.
One factor that has not been fully analysed is the impact of the congestion charge on traffic casualties in London. Less car
travel within the charging zone may result in fewer traffic collisions, however, as the number of pedestrians, cyclists, and
motorcyclists increased after the introduction of the congestion charge, the number of traffic casualties associated with
these groups may also have increased. Reductions in congestion can also lead to faster speeds. Therefore, there could be increases
in injury severity for those crashes that do occur. An intervention analysis was conducted to investigate the effect of the
congestion charge on traffic casualties for motorists, pedestrians, cyclists, and motorcyclists, both within the charging
zone and in areas of London outside the zone. This was done for killed and serious injuries (known as KSI in British terminology)
and for slight injuries to examine whether there were any shifts in severity outcomes. Our results suggest no statistically
significant effect for total casualties in London, but within the charging zone there has been a statistically significant
drop in motorist casualties, and possibly an increase in cyclist casualties. There is an associated effect of an increase
in casualties of motorcyclists and cyclists in some areas outside the charging zone, suggesting that changes in the design
of the congestion charge may be needed to achieve reductions in casualties.

Traffic forecasts are employed in the toll road sector, inter alia, by private sector investors to gauge the bankability of
candidate investment projects. Although much is written in the literature about the theory and practice of traffic forecasting,
surprisingly little attention has been paid to the predictive accuracy of traffic forecasting models. This paper addresses
that shortcoming by reporting the results from the largest study of toll road forecasting performance ever conducted. The
author had access to commercial-in-confidence documentation released to project financiers and, over a 4-year period, compiled
a database of predicted and actual traffic usage for over 100 international, privately financed toll road projects. The findings
suggest that toll road traffic forecasts are characterised by large errors and considerable optimism bias. As a result, financial
engineers need to ensure that transaction structuring remains flexible and retains liquidity such that material departures
from traffic expectations can be accommodated.

The interactions among different types of vehicle ownership including car, motorcycle and bicycle are examined by developing
simultaneous vehicle ownership models in this study. Large scale person trip survey data for Osaka metropolitan area, Japan
and Kuala Lumpur, Malaysia are used for empirical analysis. The results suggest that population density at residential area
significantly and negatively affects car ownership for both areas, and that the effects are larger for Osaka metropolitan
area than for Kuala Lumpur. Also, bicycle ownership becomes higher at higher population density area for Osaka area, while
higher at lower population density area for Kuala Lumpur, which represents the different usage patterns of bicycle between
the two areas.

Traffic microsimulation models normally include a large number of parameters that must be calibrated before the model can
be used as a tool for prediction. A wave of methodologies for calibrating such models has been recently proposed in the literature,
but there have been no attempts to identify general calibration principles based on their collective experience. The current
paper attempts to guide traffic analysts through the basic requirements of the calibration of microsimulation models. Among
the issues discussed here are underlying assumptions of the calibration process, the scope of the calibration problem, formulation
and automation, measuring goodness-of-fit, and the need for repeated model runs.

With the recent increase in the deployment of ITS technologies in urban areas throughout the world, traffic management centers
have the ability to obtain and archive large amounts of data on the traffic system. These data can be used to estimate current
conditions and predict future conditions on the roadway network. A general solution methodology for identifying the optimal
aggregation interval sizes for four scenarios is proposed in this article: (1) link travel time estimation, (2) corridor/route
travel time estimation, (3) link travel time forecasting, and (4) corridor/route travel time forecasting. The methodology
explicitly considers traffic dynamics and frequency of observations. A formulation based on mean square error (MSE) is developed
for each of the scenarios and interpreted from a traffic flow perspective. The methodology for estimating the optimal aggregation
size is based on (1) the tradeoff between the estimated mean square error of prediction and the variance of the predictor,
(2) the differences between estimation and forecasting, and (3) the direct consideration of the correlation between link travel
time for corridor/route estimation and forecasting. The proposed methods are demonstrated using travel time data from Houston,
Texas, that were collected as part of the automatic vehicle identification (AVI) system of the Houston Transtar system. It
was found that the optimal aggregation size is a function of the application and traffic condition.

The ever-increasing use of cars is a big problem in metropolitan areas. To manage the traffic stream and alleviate air pollution,
most metropolitan governments are attempting to discourage the use of cars. Nevertheless, the results have not been satisfactory.
It is well known that normal-choice riders choose their travel mode based on utility, which is determined by mode-specific
impedances and individual characteristics. On the other hand, this study focuses on identifying car-dependent commuters who
tend to keep driving cars regardless of the circumstances they are confronted with. For this study, psychometric factors characterizing
car-dependent commuters were investigated. However, the performance of the mode-choice model was not sufficiently enhanced
despite incorporation of the psychometric factors. The performance improved considerably when the car-dependent commuters
were excluded. Based on psychometric factors, the support vector machine successfully separated the car-dependent commuters
from normal-choice riders.

The impact of high-speed technology on railway demand 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This paper estimates a passenger railway demand function to analyse effects arising from the introduction and use of high-speed
technologies. The paper reports estimates of demand elasticities with respect to price, income, quality of service and a range
of exogenous characteristics. The results show that travel time savings from conventional high-speed technology have a larger
impact on passenger demand than tilting train technology. The introduction of conventional high-speed technology is associated
with an 8% increase in passenger railway demand. Increasing the use of either type of high-speed technology appears to induce
small positive effects on demand beyond those obtained from usual traffic density increases on non-high-speed existing technology.

Residential location,vehicle ownership and travel in Asia: a comparative analysis of Kei-Han-Shin and Kuala Lumpur metropolitan areas 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
The study examines the relationships between residential location, vehicle ownership and mobility in two metropolitan areas
of Asia, Kei-Han-Shin area of Japan and Kuala Lumpur area of Malaysia. It shows that, behind apparent similarities of household
auto ownership and travel time expenditure per household member, there are many causal relationships that are distinct between
the areas. The similarities and differences between the two areas point to the conjecture that the evolution of a metropolitan
area may be unique and path dependent, being heavily influenced by the history and culture of the locale, spatial and geographical
constraints, and historical progression in infrastructure development.

This paper provides a review of transport model applications that not only provide a central traffic forecast (or forecasts
for a few scenarios), but also quantify the uncertainty in the traffic forecasts in the form of a confidence interval or related
measures. Both uncertainty that results from using uncertain inputs (e.g. on income) and uncertainty in the model itself are
treated. The paper goes on to describe the methods used and the results obtained for a case study in quantifying uncertainty
in traffic forecasts in The Netherlands.

The rapid and continuing changes in travel and mobility needs in India over the last decade necessitates the development and
use of dynamic models for travel demand forecasting rather than cross-sectional models. In this context, this paper investigates
mode choice dynamics among workers in Chennai city, India over a period of five years (1999–2004). Dynamics in mode choice
is captured at four levels: exogenous variable change, state-dependence, changes in users’ sensitivity to attributes, and
unobserved error terms. The results show that the dynamic models provide a substantial improvement (of over 500 log-likelihood
points and ρ2 increases from 44% to 68%) over the cross-sectional model. The performance was compared using two illustrative policy scenarios
with important methodological and practical implications. The results indicate that cross-sectional models tend to provide
inflated estimates of potential improvement measures. Improving the Level of Service (LOS) alone will not produce the anticipated
benefits to transit agencies, as it fails to overcome the persistent inertia captured in the state-dependence factors. The
results and models have important applications in the context of growing motorization and congestion management in developing
countries.

This paper reports the results of a stated-preference study aimed at investigating how transport decisions are made by receivers
or by transport operators about the potential use of an urban freight consolidation centre in the city of Fano, Italy. Because
there are no revealed preference data, a stated-choice methodology is used. The stated-choice experiments present two alternatives—one
using a private vehicle subject to various traffic regulations and one using the urban freight consolidation centre with varying
cost and efficiency levels. Conventional discrete choice data modelling shows that the potential demand is influenced mainly
by the distance of the parking bay from the shop, by access permit cost, by the service cost of the urban freight consolidation
centre, and by the delay in delivery time. Simulations are then performed to assess how the potential demand is affected by
various incentives and regulations affecting urban goods distribution.

The impact of urban form on automobile travel: disentangling causation from correlation 总被引:5,自引:3,他引:2
A longstanding question within the field of transportation demand management is the strength of the relationship between urban
form and mobility behavior. Although several studies have identified a strong correlation between these variables, there is
as yet scant evidence to support policy interventions that target land use as a means of influencing travel. To the contrary,
some of the more recent research has cast skepticism on the proposition that the relationship is causative, recognizing the
possibility that households endogenously self-select themselves into communities that support their preferences for particular
transportation modes. Focusing on individual automobile travel, the present study seeks to contribute to this line of inquiry
by estimating econometric models on a panel of travel-diary data collected in Germany between 1996 and 2003. Specifically,
we employ the two-part model (2PM)—a procedure involving probit and OLS estimators—to assess the determinants of the discrete
decision to use the car and the continuous decision of distance traveled. Beyond modeling variables that capture the urban
form features that are commonly suggested to influence mobility behavior, including mixed use and public transit, this study
employs instrumental variables to control for potential endogeneity emerging from the simultaneity of residential and mode
choices. Unlike much of the work to date, our results suggest that urban form has a causative impact on car use, a finding
that is robust to alternative econometric specifications.

Transportation analysis emphasizes the necessity to internalize the transport externalities of car usage through taxation.
Yet taxation decisions are often made with non-transport goals in mind. In such cases, transport policies are made ‘by the
way.’ This paper examines such a case: Israel’s taxation policy on company cars. It shows that current taxation policies result
in increasing numbers of company cars and growing numbers of transport users who are not sensitive to the marginal cost of
car use and make excessive use of the car. As a result, a significant portion of Travel Demand Management (TDM) measures cannot
affect this group. The Israeli case of company car tax reform demonstrates the problematic effect of a policy that does not
take its overall consequences on other policy fields into account and thereby impairs efforts to reduce the negative impacts
of the transport system. Also, it demonstrates the importance of institutional aspects of transport policymaking.

For economic and environmental policy formulation and with the effort of creating less car dependent societies, it is important
to study the changing characteristics of car ownership in a household through time as well as factors responsible of these
variations. There is a vast body of literature on empirical studies of car ownership and use. These studies have investigated
the socio-economic background of the decision maker, the built environment and the perception associated with owning a car
as determinant factors of car ownership and use. In most cases, these analyses have been carried out using cross-sectional
data sets. However, the analysis of factors determining changes in travel behavior of an individual or household requires
information on their behavior over time (longitudinal data set). In this study, the German Mobility Panel (1996–2006) is used
to examine variation of car ownership through time and across households. The panel data modeling results showed that there
are variations of car ownership between households whereas changes in car ownership of a given household over time (within
household variations) are insignificant. The influence of other factors such as the households’ socio-economic background,
the availability of public transportation and shopping/leisure facilities, perception on parking difficulties and satisfaction
with existing public transportation services on the car owning characteristics of households is also presented and discussed
in this paper.

In auto-oriented communities, access to an automobile is essential for good mobility, but not everyone owns a car or is able
to drive. Little is known about how individuals in these circumstances might still use vehicles for transportation. To provide
insight on the nature of vehicle use by those with potentially limited vehicle access, we present qualitative findings from
focus groups with recent Mexican immigrants living in California, half of whom owned no cars. Our results demonstrate varying
degrees of participants’ access to vehicle travel not always corresponding to auto ownership, with extensive sharing of cars,
borrowing of cars, and getting rides. We describe the different dimensions of vehicle access that participants experienced
and identify specific factors that seemed to influence their access levels. We discuss the implications of our findings for
transportation policy and future research.

Ridesharing is quite a popular topic of discussion among transport authority personnel. It is perceived to be a viable alternative
to classical modes of transportation, and receives a great deal of political support from transport planners. However, not
much objective information is available on ridesharing behaviors. We use travel survey data to study the evolution of the
ridesharing market in an urban area. Our study is based on data from four large-scale OD surveys conducted in the Greater
Montreal Area (1987, 1993, 1998 and 2003).
In the latest survey conducted in Montreal, car passengers were asked to identify the driver who gave them the opportunity
to travel in this way. Their answers were classified according to the type of driver; for instance, a member of their household,
a neighbor or a co-worker. We use this information to calibrate a model matching car passengers and car drivers belonging
to the same household. This will be referred to as IHHR (intra-household ridesharing).
Preliminary results reveal that approximately 70% of all trips made by car passengers are the result of IHHR. Furthermore,
around 15% of those trips are questionable, in that they were exclusively generated for another individual’s purposes, consequently
generating an additional trip for the journey back home. Moreover, this percentage increased over time. Objective data regarding
ridesharing and its evolution in an urban area will undoubtedly help decision makers gain a clearer profile of this means
of travel and help to realign attitudes on the issue.

A parking utilization survey was undertaken with the main objective of analyzing and comparing the daily workday utilization
patterns of two main park and ride stations within the Kuala Lumpur conurbation. This study also aimed to gauge the level
of usage of the park and ride facilities. The findings showed that the overall utilization pattern of the facilities was very
high with a utilization rate of between 80 and 95%. The stations, however, recorded a contrasting accumulation pattern. The
study further revealed that most of the rail-based suburban park and ride users were long term parkers. The results of this
study are comparable to results of similar studies in Seoul, Calgary, Tyne and Wear and others. Since parking availability
is an important factor that has influence on the behavior of a park and ride user, more accurate information relating to the
supply and demand of the park and ride facility will assist in planning new transport infrastructure.
