Book Potential Transportation Demand Management Strategies

Download or read book Potential Transportation Demand Management Strategies written by and published by . This book was released on 1997 with total page 23 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Travel demand management (TDM) includes a variety of straregies to encourage more efficient use of existing roadway capacity. These include strategies that increase the quantity and quality of travel alternatives such as transit services, and walking and bicycling facilities; discourage automobile use (or remove existing incentives that favor driving); and strategies that reduce the need for travel altogether by creating more efficient land use and substituting electronic communications and delivery services for personal travel The scope of TDM strategies has increased as new ideas and technologies develop. All too often, TDM planning focuses on a limited portion of availabe options. This paper provides an overview of available TDM strategies. More than three dozens TDM strategies described, and references are provided to facilitate additional research. It is intended to provide a starting point for developing TDM programs that best suit paricular situation.

Book Implementing Effective Travel Demand Management Measures

Download or read book Implementing Effective Travel Demand Management Measures written by and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 452 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Travel Demand Management (TDM) describes a wide range of actions that are geared toward improving the efficiency of travel demand. There is much controversy and speculation as to the strength, role, and validity of TDM solutions. This uncertainty has probably led to misunderstandings of the role and potential of TDM, and therefore, a lower yield from TDM approaches than appears to be possible. This report is the main product of a study that was sponsored by the Federal Highway Administration to try to set the facts straight and provide the most comprehensive, accurate, and useable guidance on TDM. The report provides a set of materials, statistics, guides and tools that should be of significant value in not only increasing the basic understanding of what TDM is, but on how to design and evaluate programs which will deliver the optimal that these strategies can offer.

Book The Implementation and Effectiveness of Transport Demand Management Measures

Download or read book The Implementation and Effectiveness of Transport Demand Management Measures written by Tom Rye and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2016-03-03 with total page 275 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Congestion and traffic-related pollution are increasingly becoming major issues in towns and cities world-wide. This book deals with carefully selected market and non-market based measures to reduce congestion, and their implementation and effectiveness in tackling the problem. The book features a multi-authored research-based text comprising 12 individual chapters that draw upon relevant case studies. The authors were specifically chosen for their global expertise in terms of the respective Demand Management Tools. Drawing on international case studies, the book details the role played internationally by selected Transport Demand Management (TDM) measures in dealing with both congestion and traffic-related pollution in urban areas, focusing on their relative merits and in particular their effectiveness and the issues surrounding implementation.

Book Application of Crowdsourced Travel Data in Identifying Potential Opportunities for Transportation Demand Management

Download or read book Application of Crowdsourced Travel Data in Identifying Potential Opportunities for Transportation Demand Management written by Ying Hay Chiu and published by . This book was released on 2017 with total page 158 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Traffic congestion is a major concern that many urban regions contend with. Since the 1970s, transport practitioners have sought out different ways to alleviate the negative impacts of congestion. The concept of Transportation Demand Management (TDM) was born out of this era as a means to address congestion through demand-side approaches that encourage adjustments in travel behaviour. Given its broad mandate, a wide variety of policies and programs fall within the realm of TDM. To assist in the selection of appropriate TDM strategies prior to implementation, several TDM evaluation models have been developed. However, many analysis techniques require data from past examples of TDM strategy implementation, which are at times difficult to obtain, and would not be available for newly developed and untested policy and program approaches. This thesis builds on the techniques used in past models to present a new model framework that can be used in the identification and evaluation of opportunities to apply TDM strategies. Employing a pivot-point logit model, the model relies only on quantifications of traveller utility through generalized cost calculations. Crowdsourced travel data collected from the Google Maps web-mapping application has been used as the primary source of data behind the generalized costs. The model was applied to a set of test corridors in the Greater Toronto and Hamilton Area (GTHA) which represent major cross regional travel flows. Results of the model were found to be directionally consistent with known conditions of the transportation system in the study area, though adjustments are needed to the model coefficients in order to more accurately reflect the magnitude of behavioural change to be expected from travellers.

Book Travel Demand Management and Public Policy

Download or read book Travel Demand Management and Public Policy written by Eric Ferguson and published by Routledge. This book was released on 2018-01-31 with total page 533 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This title was first published in 2000: Describes policy innovations in transportation system management, planning and operations in the US that explicitly address interactions between transportation demands and travel behaviour in a mixed economy. The author shows how travel demand and management programmes function in the context of transportation supply and demand, investment, technology, pricing, management and marketing policies and procedures, with examples of voluntary, market-based and regulatory approaches to transportation and activity system management and institutional change. The author describes a variety of evaluation methods and models designed specifically for TDM programmes, and how these can be used to better inform decision-makers and other stockholders in the process of transportation policy formulation. TDM programmes have serious potential to increase the efficiency of a wide variety of transportation systems. Institutional obstacles are likely to prevent full implementation in the near future, but partial efforts are underway and likely to continue and succeed, under proper circumstances.

Book Transportation Demand Management

Download or read book Transportation Demand Management written by Erik Ferguson and published by . This book was released on 1998 with total page 74 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Overburdened transportation systems have a dramatic effect on economic development, the environment, and the quality of life for everyone who depends on them. Transportation demand management (TDM) offers planners another tool to reduce the negative consequences of development, most particularly increased traffic congestion and air pollution, while encouraging development where traffic gridlock can be avoided. This report examines TDM policies and programs, the philosophies behind them, and the focus and participation necessary to make TDM work. Four case studies and numerous tables provide a detailed and thorough look at TDM in practice, showing what it can achieve and how to make it work for you.
