Are network planning guidelines based on equal access equitable?
Published 2016-10-01Public transport network planning principles include simplicity, legibility, frequency and spatial coverage. These principles are normally translated into a series of “Guidelines” setting out the specific standards for ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Disruption Costs in Bus Contract Transitions
Published 2016-03-01This paper investigates the role of assessment criteria in assisting members of the competitive tendering evaluation committee to choose their preferred operator, be it the incumbent or a new operator. In a world where ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Duopoly Competition between Airline Groups with Dual-brand Services - The case of the Australian domestic market
Published 2016-11-01The Australian aviation industry achieved substantial growth after the abolition of the “two-airline-policy” in 1990. With Virgin’s purchase of Tiger Airways, a new duopoly between two airlines groups, each consisting of ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Dynamic discrete berth allocation in container terminals under four performance measures
Published 2016-06-01In this paper we develop new models for the dynamic discrete berth allocation problem under four performance measures (PM). The models allow for both dynamic berth availability and dynamic arrival of vessels within the ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Electronic ticketing systems as a mechanism for travel behaviour change? Evidence from Sydney’s Opal Card
Published 2016-08-01Smartcard and other forms of electronic ticketing have become integral to modern public transport systems. While aggregate ridership figures have generally been positive, little is known about the drivers behind these ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Entry patterns of low‐cost carriers in Hong Kong and implications to the regional market
Published 2016-01-01This study aims to provide a better understanding of Asia’s lowcost carriers (LCCs) by empirically analysing their route entry patterns in Hong Kong. Two alternative models have been tested, namely a standard probit model ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Experience conditioning in modal choice modelling – Does it make a difference?
Published 2016-03-01It is often suggested that real experience counts when making choices and that choice responses are likely to be different after an individual has experienced specific alternatives. This has links with hypothetical bias ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Future bus transport contracts under mobility as a service regime in the digital age: are they likely to change?
Published 2016-08-01The digital age has opened up new opportunities to improve the customer experience in using public transport. Specifically, we see the role of smart technology in the hands of customers as the new rubric to deliver services ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Genetics of traffic assignment models for strategic transport planning
Published 2016-01-01This paper presents a review and classification of traffic assignment models for strategic transport planning purposes by using concepts analogous to genetics in biology. Traffic assignment models share the same theoretical ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
How much is too much for tolled road users: toll saturation and the implications for car commuting value of travel time savings?
Published 2016-02-01The current practice of forecasting the demand for new tolled roads typically assumes that car users are prepared to pay a higher toll for a shorter journey, and they will keep doing so as long as the toll cost is not ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
How the success of social marketing program outcomes can be affected by socio‐demographics and the built environment: a multiple group latent growth curve modelling exploration
Published 2016-06-01Urban sprawl is pervasive in Australian cities arising from the low density development of dwellings. One of the consequences of this is that private vehicle use dominates daily travel in Australia. Reducing car travel by ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
