  1. Urban sprawl and transport - the case of Oslo and Bergena presentation of research activities at TOI Jon Inge Lian, Institute of Transport Economics, Oslo COST 355 meeting, Paris 1. July 2004

  2. Background • Car ownership • Major cities • Oslo 0,8 mill • Bergen 0,21 m. • Stavanger 0,17 m. • Trondheim 0,15 m.

  3. Data • National Travel Surveys 1992, 1998, 2001 • Registers on population, cars and income • Local travel surveys

  4. Analysis: Oslo 1992, NTS

  5. Discussions • Travel time (from transport models) proved better than distance, linear relationship? • Travel time and time difference (car – transit) and number of children were significant • Regressions on zones gave similar results • But time difference were not significant, due to local differences in walking distances to transit • Travel time, income and single unit dwelling had high t-values (~5)

  6. Urban sprawl analysis: Oslo 1998 • Based on 1900 census districts • Regression on cars per adult, R2: 0.66 • The effect of distance from CBD not very strong Change from 2.7 km to 7.4 km from CBD => +0,085 cars/adult

  7. Cars per adult by distance from Oslo c

  8. Cars per adult by distance from Oslo c

  9. Cars per adult by distance from Oslo c

  10. Cars per adult by road distance from Oslo c

  11. Car use and distance, Oslo 1998

  12. The case of Bergen • Regression on cars per adult, R2: 0.76 • Even weaker effect of distance

  13. Cars per adult by distance from Bergen c

  14. Cars per adult by distance from Bergen c

  15. Residential location and travel

  16. “Other” locations and travel

  17. Workplace location and travel

  18. Summary • Residential location effect effect car use mainly by differences in car ownership • The distance effect is diminishing after 6 km • Change in settlement pattern is very slow; mixed trends • Workplace location strongly affect car use • Workplace and shopping centre location change at a higher rate than housing, but income growth is by far the most important driver of car ownership and use. • Future studies based on NTS 2001 will elaborate more on socio-demographics and travel alternatives.
