The Role of Simulation Modelling in Transport Analysis and Planning
(1998)The objective of this paper is to review the use of simulation modelling techniques in transport studies. Simulation has been used extensively over the past 50 years both in the academic study of transport and in the practical fields of traffic engineering and transport planning. The first part of the paper will review these developments and identify a number distinct stages in the evolution of transport simulation methodology. We will ...Working Paper -
Data yield as a function of survey design
(1998)The travel survey designer has to balance the wish for a comprehensive set of data items with the willingness of respondents to participate in a survey of a given duration and complexity and if participating, the number of journeys, the respondents will describe. This interaction between work load, response and data yield has been the subject of only a few published studies in spite of ist fundamental importance (Axhausen et al., 1997; ...Working Paper -

The Environmental Aspects of the DRIVE Programme
(1991)The purpose of this note is to discuss the environmental potential of the DRIVE programme. DRIVE is a major research and development initiative of the European Community focused on the introduction of information technology into the transport system, mainly the road transport system. The vision of DRIVE is an integrated system of information and communication technologies, which on the one hand will inform and guide the traveller and on ...Working Paper -
Licence holding and car ownership
(1991)The general availability of a car driving licence is one of the unquestioned assumptions of transport modelling, consequently only few models of licence ownership have been developed. Models of licence ownership as a part of an overall transport modelling system have been even rarer. Once explicit attention focuses on licence holding, the impact of the missing car driving licence on the travel behaviour of ‘deprived’ groups is obvious. ...Working Paper -
