  7. Year Three – Behavioural Group • 4 Research questions – • How can commuter travel behaviour be characterised ? What are the main target groups ?

  8. Year Three – Behavioural Group • Research questions – • What are successful measures to influence behaviour ? What are the main factors for success and the main barriers ? How can incentives be used to motivate and support behaviour ? What is the role of travel planning ?

  9. Year Three – Behavioural Group • Research questions – • How can we cope with the challenges of low-density suburban areas ? Are there viable alternatives for solo car use in those markets ?

  10. Year Three – Behavioural Group • Research questions – • How can interchanges be planned, designed and operated to support seamless (intermodal) commuter journeys ? Where is the link between infrastructure and behaviour ?

  11. Year Three – Behavioural Group • Reduced to 2 Research questions – • What are successful measures to influence behaviour ? What are the main factors for success and the main barriers ? How can incentives be used to motivate and support behaviour ? What is the role of travel planning ? • How can interchanges be planned, designed and operated to support seamless (intermodal) commuter journeys ? Where is the link between infrastructure and behaviour ?

  12. Year Three – Behavioural Group • Thematic Indicators Background data • Market share of commuters • Market share of school aged children (primary and secondary) • Market share of college and university students

  13. Year Three – Behavioural Group • Thematic Indicators Knowing the market • Age of population • Employment structure of population • Average trip length for commuters

  14. Year Three – Behavioural Group • Thematic Indicators Knowing the market • Average trip time for commuters • Availability of Travel diary data • Definition of peak hours • Frequency of services (peak and non-peak)

  15. Year Three – Behavioural Group • Thematic Indicators Marketing Effort • Fare structure • Subsidised ticketing • Availability of and take up of pool cars / bicycles as a result of travel plans ?
