Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Potential new telecommunications technologies and services could have dramatic impacts on travel behavior. The probable nature and magnitude of these impacts is uncertain. The usual assumption (or hope) is that such technologies will substitute for travel, allowing people to participate in activities at home that would have otherwise involved a trip. Telecommunications technologies may lead to other types of impacts as well, by increasing access to information and ease of communications: modification of travel, generation of additional travel, or generation of additional communication with no change in travel. This study focuses on the implications of telecommunications for nonwork travel and explores the potential substitution of in-home versions of an activity for out-of-home versions of that activity. Three specific activities were selected, and the sets of potentially substitutable versions of those activities that are currently available were examined: movies (theater vs. VCR vs. television), shopping (store vs. catalog vs. television), and banking (bank vs. ATM vs. phone vs. on-line). A household survey was implemented to characterize the use of the different versions of the three case study activities and explore the trade-offs between them. The results suggest a complicated relationship between in-home and out-of-home versions of activities. The degree to which in-home versions substitute for out-of-home versions of an activity depends on the nature of the activity and the characteristics of the individuals. In addition, the travel implications are not always clear. So far, the evidence does not point to a reduction in travel.

Book excerpt: The impact of telecommuting on travel demand is researched and evaluated in this study using travel data collected, based on three-day trip records of 146 State of California employees and their household members, mostly in the Sacramento metropolitan area, of which 66 are telecommuters. Telecommuting is defined as the performance of work outside the traditional central office, either at home or at a neighborhood center close to home.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Academic Paper from the year 2018 in the subject Engineering - Communication Technology, grade: A-, Mount Kenya University, language: English, abstract: Computer of data communication remains to be a fundamental part of both the modern systems as well as retrieval systems of their online access. The current information system has been noted to operate in an online interactive mode whereby the user has the opportunity of interacting with the host from a diverse remote location by using a communication link, unlike the conventional systems. Telecommuting or telecommunication can be categorized as an alternative type of work arrangement, whereby responsibilities or duties are carried out at an off-site location, not to mention that the employees utilize telecommunications technology to connect to the workplace. Scholars have demonstrated diverse factors behind the emergence and development of telecommuting. One of the factors is that several firms are downsizing their operations with the aim of lowering costs through reduction of the office space. Another factor is that the elevated competition from the United States and even the international scope has forced many organizations to adopt extended workdays together with flexible schedules of work so as to respond better to the needs of their customers. Furthermore, this concept has emerged due to the fact that there is an elevating affordable and cost effective development of computer and telecommunication technologies. Thus, teleworking has tremendously developed from its diffident beginnings in the early 1970s to achieve unparalleled level today and it is expected to continue expanding in the years to come. The objective of this essay is to discuss the nature of telecommuting, its impact on the individual and the organizations for which the teleworkers work along with its future development.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Technological developments have enabled a dramatic expansion and also an evolution of telework, broadly defined as using ICTs to perform work from outside of an employer’s premises. This volume offers a new conceptual framework explaining the evolution of telework over four decades. It reviews national experiences from Argentina, Brazil, India, Japan, the United States, and ten EU countries regarding the development of telework, its various forms and effects. It also analyses large-scale surveys and company case studies regarding the incidence of telework and its effects on working time, work-life balance, occupational health and well-being, and individual and organizational performance.

Download or read book Telecommunications transportation energy Interaction written by Mark Sullivan and published by . This book was released on 1993 with total page 124 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: The substitution of transportation by telecommunications has long been advocated as an approach that might eventually alleviate the demand placed on transportation facilities and thereby reduce fuel consumption and air pollutant emissions. With increasing penetration of telecommunications in individual homes and businesses, coupled with the widespread availability of computing equipment, facsimile capabilities and the like, there is renewed interest in exploring and encouraging telecommuting arrangements. These include work-at-home schemes and workplace decentralization with satellite work centers, as well as many other nontraditional approaches to structuring workplace activities and worker responsibilities. The aim of this project is to address the travel behavior implications of telecommuting, and determine the potential of telecommuting to improve urban mobility and reduce fuel consumption. The following objectives will be addressed: 1) prepare a synthesis of existing experience with telecommuting from the standpoint of travel behavior and fuel consumption; 2) characterize telecommunications-tripmaking-energy interactions at the individual and household levels, focusing on travel behavior within a dynamic activity-based framework; 3) develop a predictive approach to assess the energy consumption consequences of telecommmuting; and 4) develop recommendations for possible implementation strategies and for future travel and energy demand forecasting.

Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Throughout the world, traffic levels are increasing and, in urban areas, these increasing levels have led to pressures on the road networks which are causing serious economic, environmental and social problems. This book examines the full range of 'push and pull' Travel Demand Management measures. This covers areas of regulatory, pricing, planning and persuasive policies to encourage individuals to make their trips in off-peak periods, by a different mode or to find another way of carrying out the trip purpose. Applying such measures can result in a more efficient transport system, improved environmental conditions and improvements in safety as well as revenue generation for use on alternative transport systems. The editors conclude with a summary of findings within the book and suggestions for best future practice.
