Temporal Variability of Vehicle-kilometres Travelled
The Cathedral Range from the TUTI office at Taggerty
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 kilometres travelled by car. This was done 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.
