Temporal Variabiltiy of Public Transport Usage
Project Description
Before & After surveys are a common method of measuring the effect of specific policies and projects designed to cause changes in travel behaviour. To do these surveys, it is important to obtain a quantitative understanding of the underlying variability of the parameters to be measured. This project considers the variation over time in the usage of public transport. This was done first by a detailed analysis of the MobiDrive data from Germany, and the estimation of Coefficients of Variation in key travel parameters for the Melbourne situation. Secondly, the project also undertakes an analysis of data from a detailed survey of public transport patronage conducted in Melbourne in 1994.
