Car user responses to travel demand management measures: Goal setting and choice of adaptation alternatives
- 2004

Ingår i: Transportation Research D. ; :9, s. 263-280

Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Travel demand management measures can be used to encourage car users to set car-use reduction goals when experiencing impairments in travel options. In forming plans to reduce car-use contingent on such goals, car users consider a range of adaptation alternatives including more efficient car use, suppressing trips, and switching travel mode. These adaptation alternatives, it may be argued, are implemented sequentially over time according to a cost-minimisation principle. A focus group study was conducted gauging the creativity of car-using households when contemplating adaptation alternatives, followed by an Internet-based questionnaire study in an attempt to obtain quantitative estimates of the size of car-use reduction goals and frequency of implementation of adaptation alternatives. The data revealed that the effects of travel demand management measures and trip purpose on the setting of car-use reduction goals were small. While the cost-minimisation principle seemed to dictate stated choices of adaptation alternatives, further research needs to examine the ways in which the principle must be qualified.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- The chapter discusses different measures of public attitude to pricing of road transport with focus on private car use. Empirical data from the Stockholm road pricing field trial are used to estimate models of determinants of privat car users’ attitudes to the field trial.

Bokkapitel (övrigt vetenskapligt/konstnärligt)abstract
- In this chapter, a theoretical framework is proposed with the aim of understanding reduction or changes in private car use in response to road pricing. It is argued that economic disincentives may activate car-use reduction or change goals in individuals and households. However, for car-use reduction or change goals to be implemented, other travel demand management measures are needed that make alternative travel options attractive. A review and classification of these other measures is provided of these other measures followed by an assessment of their potential effectiveness in this respect.

Household choices of activity/travel change options for reducing car use

Konferensbidrag (refereegranskat)abstract
- A conceptual framework based on self-regulation theory in social psychology is proposed with the purpose of analyzing changes in household car use affected by travel demand management (TDM) measures. TDM measures changing car use options are assumed to influence strategic choices of car-use reduction goals as well as operational choices of activity/travel change options in order to attain these goals. An ongoing internet survey will provide data on the activity/travel change options households choose depending on the size of the car use goal that they set

Public attitudes towards policy measures for reducing private car use

Ingår i: Environmental Science and Policy. ; , s. 57-66
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- In an internet survey, a random sample of 291 university employees living in Gothenburg, Sweden, reported their beliefs and evaluations of the consequences of implementing three travel demand management (TDM) measures varying from less to more coercive. The results showed that respondents differentiated amongst the TDM measures in terms of each measures expected consequences and that, when combining these beliefs with evaluations, a statistically signifi-cant proportion of variance was accounted for in attitudes to the TDM measures. Environmental concern modified several of the effects of consequences on atti-tudes towards TDM measures, as well as influencing overall attitude. The gen-eral and practical implications of these findings for improving attitudes to such policies are also discussed.

Understanding the process of adaptation to car-use reduction goals

Ingår i: Transportation Research F. ; 9:2, s. 115-127
-
Tidskriftsartikel (refereegranskat)abstract
- Two studies are reported examining the adaptations people make in order to achieve car-use reduction goals set in response to travel demand management (TDM) measures. Study 1 examined retrospective reports of actual behavioural adaptations made in response to the introduction of the Trondheim toll ring. Building upon the first study, Study 2 was an internet survey requiring respondents to state the frequency with which they would adopt various adaptation alternatives were they required to adapt to a small, medium, or large car-use reduction goal. The frequency with which a particular adaptation is implemented was found to vary with trip purpose and with size of reduction goal. The results were interpreted in the light of a modified cost-minimisation principle of adaptation.
