Profiling future passenger transport initiatives to identify the growing role of active and micro-mobility modes
Published 2024-01-18There is growing interest in recognising the role that active and micro-mobility modes play in the full suite of modal-based activities. While the idea of the 'next normal' since the heady days of COVID-19 remains unclear, ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Commuting mode choice and work from home in the later stages of COVID-19: Consolidating a future focussed prediction tool to inform transport and land use planning.
Published 2024-01-18As COVID-19 slowly dissipated after 30 months since March 2020, working from home (WFH) continues to be popular, with support from notable numbers of employees and employers. With growing evidence that we have either ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Extended Macroscopic Node Model for Multilane Traffic
Published 2024-02-05In a macroscopic assignment model, traffic flows are distributed onto the network by means of a network loading model. The network loading propagates flows along links via a link model and through junctions or intersections ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
On allowing endogenous minimum consumption bounds in the Multiple Discrete Continuous Choice Model: An application to expenditure patterns
Published 2024-02-05In this study, we develop a novel econometric framework that allows for endogenously estimating minimum goods amounts, and their subsequent impact on individuals’ multiple discrete/continuous consumption choices. To do so, ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Mobility-as-a-Service and Travel Behaviour Change: How multimodal bundles reshape our travel choices
Published 2024-02-16Mobility-as-a-service (MaaS) offers an appealing narrative around sustainable mobility as being a useful tool for the transportation sector to achieve sustainable goals by changing users travel behaviour. Empirical evidence ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Rethinking the role of the car in a MaaS framework – insights from a rural context
Published 2024-03-01This policy note proposes a focus on ways to make better use of the private car and a corporate commitment model as offering potential to deliver an appealing Mobility as a Service (MaaS) offering in low density settings ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Addressing transport disadvantages in regional and rural areas through integrated mobility services
Published 2024-03-14This paper explores mobility barriers and the impact of transport disadvantage on vulnerable individuals (e.g., the elderly, disabled, and low-income) in regional and rural areas, including the limited transport options, ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
The Link between Service Frequency and Patronage: A short note
Published 2024-03-27Bus service frequency is extensively studied in many papers; however, we found a lack of a single source that will enable a synthesis overview of the main elasticity evidence on the relationship between service frequency ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Hidden Effects and Externalities of Electric Vehicles
Published 2024-05-16The global drive towards sustainability has ushered in a new era of transportation, prominently featuring the rise of Battery Electric Vehicles (BEVs). The rapid rise of BEVs has been widely hailed as a crucial milestone ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Barriers towards enhancing mobility through MaaS in a Regional and Rural context: insights from suppliers and organisers
Published 2024-05-16This study explores the potential of a mobility framework for MaaS in a regional and rural context. In-depth interviews of stakeholders, including Non-Transport Providers and Transport Providers, were conducted in three ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Identifying main drivers for students and staff members’ mode choice or to work/study from home or attend University campus: A case study in Australia
Published 2024-05-16Universities are major trip attractors and generators in large cities, and they have a significant influence on the transport network particularly in high-density areas. The trips to and from university campuses are made ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Incorporation of non-persistent delays at signalised intersections in the link transmission model
Published 2024-07-17In macroscopic dynamic traffic assignment, traffic flows are allocated to a transport network by means of a dynamic network loading model, with travel time being a primary output. Dynamic network loading not only determines ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
A Systematic Review of Node Models for Macroscopic Network Loading of Traffic Flows
Published 2024-07-17Node models in macroscopic network loading procedures are used to distribute competing flows arising at motorway ramps, junctions, and intersections, influencing congestion and queuing delays. Despite decades of research ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
A literature/evidence review and assessment of a strategic case for fast trains in NSW?
Published 2024-07-17The need to balance population and employment growth with economic and environmentally sustainable initiatives represents one of, if not the most significant challenges facing Governments today. To place the difficulties ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Incorporation of Endogenous Exit Capacities in Node Models with Various Movement Exit Speeds
Published 2024-07-18In macroscopic traffic assignment, the node model is fundamental for accurately capturing traffic dynamics at junctions and intersections, which are often the primary sources of travel delays in urban networks. The ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
Accounting for the Location and Allocation of Working Hours throughout the Working Week: A Discrete-Continuous Choice model
Published 2024-08-08As COVID-19 becomes a close distant memory for many, we are seeing the impact it has had on where working hours throughout the week are being undertaken. It is not unreasonable to assume that the support for greater ...Open AccessWorking Paper -
