SUBJECTIVE WELL-BEING & TRAVEL: Behavioral Insights & Integration with Choice Models
Dr. Abou-Zeid’s Presentation Slides and Recording
ABSTRACT: This seminar presents three applications of subjective well-being (SWB) or happiness day in transportation to illustrate certain behavioral insights & the benefits of including SWB measures with choice models. The applications are (1) differences in satisfaction across commute modes (as well as potential underestimation of satisfaction with infrequently used modes), (2) the presence of a hedonic treadmill effect in activity happiness using remembered & real-time measures, & (3) how SWB indicators can be integrated with activity pattern choice models to improve model efficiency.
Eastern track: Aug. 10, 10:00 CST (11:00 JST, 12:00 AEST)
Dr. Graham Currie – Monash University
PRAGMATIC STRATEGIES TO LEGITIMISE IMPLEMENTATION OF SUSTAINABLE TRANSPORT IN CITIES
Dr. Currie’s Presentation Slides and Recording
ABSTRACT: The benefits of on-road public transit priority are now clear, but on-road implementation faces considerable barriers, via both political & stakeholder resistance to change, limiting sustainable transport progress in cities. This presentation presents the results of a research project to discover how to overcome these barriers, exploring where big changes were actually achieved & how they addressed barriers to change. Results provide a framework of 9 Pragmatic Strategies that planners can adopt to achieve change. Each are detailed & success factors explained.
Western track: Aug. 9, 10:00 CDT (11:00 EDT, 17:00 CEST)
Dr. Kay W. Axhausen – ETH Zürich
COULD AN E-BIKE (+ WALKING, TRANSIT & SCOOTER) CITY WORK?
Dr. Axhausen’s Presentation Slides and Recording
ABSTRACT: Transport policy is in a dilemma to improve accessibilities while lowering emissions & costs. For dense urban areas it is worth thinking & checking whether a transport system relying on (e-)cycles could be a positive vision. The talk will outline the dilemma & present first results of our work: in particular, design support of the required network reconstruction; detailed analysis of current e-bike use & behaviour via a large-scale Swiss study.
Western track: Aug. 10, 10:00 CDT (11:00 EDT, 17:00 CEST)
Dr. Patricia Mokhtarian – Georgia Tech
DOES TELEWORKING INCREASE OR DECREASE TRAVEL? Using Selection Models to Obtain (Counterfactual) Longitudinal Results from Cross-Sectional Data
Dr. Mokhtarian’s Presentation Slides and Recording
ABSTRACT: Mixed findings exist on whether teleworking reduces or increases travel. This talk presents a portfolio of selection model methods to provide a more convincing answer, particularly when only cross-sectional data are available. Selectivity bias, its correction, & treatment effects estimation are described, & then applied. Results confirm that teleworking reduces vehicle-miles driven (VMD), on average, but that for a non-trivial subset of cases (particularly those who are not travel-stressed), teleworking increases VMD.
