Title: | An estimation of total vehicle travel reduction in the case of teleworking. Detailed analyses using an activity-based modeling approach. | Authors: | KOCHAN, Bruno BELLEMANS, Tom COOLS, Mario JANSSENS, Davy WETS, Geert |
Issue Date: | 2011 | Source: | Proceeding of the BIVEC/GIBET Transport Research Day, p. 1-9 | Abstract: | Transportation Demand Management (TDM) is often referred to as a strategy adopted by transport planners with the goal to increase transport system efficiency. One of the possible measures that can be adopted in TDM is the implementation of telecommuting. A significant number of studies have been conducted in the past to evaluate the effect of telecommuting on peak-period trips. However it is less studied whether telecommuting also effectively and significantly reduces total vehicle travel. For this reason, a conventional modeling approach was adopted in this paper to calculate total kilometers of travel saved in the case telecommuting would materialize in the Flanders area. In a second part, the paper also introduces the use of an activity-based modeling approach to evaluate the effect of telecommuting. By doing so, an operational activity-based framework is externally validated by means of another completely different model, both calibrated for the same application and study area. | Keywords: | Telecommuting; Activity-Based modeling; Feathers; Albatross | Document URI: | http://hdl.handle.net/1942/13081 | Link to publication/dataset: | http://abstracts.aetransport.org/paper/index/id/3742/confid/17 | Category: | C2 | Type: | Proceedings Paper |
