The influence of flexi-time and flexi-place work on online ordering expenditure
Road user charge reform and the political shift in interest in Australia
The 2024 electric vehicle distance-based charge introduced in Victoria, Australia, to recognise that such vehicles do not pay fuel excise tax, led to a high court challenge in which it was deemed unconstitutional for a State to introduce such a charge, which is the responsibility of the Federal government (through legislation amendment). This loss of fuel excise as a tax (not a charge) on electric cars whetted the appetite of the Federal Governme…
Not to travel or how to travel? Understanding weekly commute choices in metropolitan versus rural settings in Australia
Exploring community public budget preferences for transport electrification
The allocation of funds across government functions often reflects political priorities that do not align with public expectations. This paper employs a contingent allocation method in which respondents are required to distribute a fixed budget across 12 different potential project types. The main goal of this research is to elicit community priorities for public spending with a specific focus on transport electrification. Based on a sample of 72…
Identifying main drivers for students and staff members’ choice or to work/study from home or attend university campus and their transport mode choice
Relationship between commuting and non-commuting travel activity under the growing incidence of working from home and people’s attitudes towards Covid-19
Three city regions, three different experiences
In the first 22 months of the COVID-19 pandemic, from March 2020 to December 2021, we witnessed a seismic change in the way in which work was undertaken given the restrictions implemented by government to curb the spread of the virus; most prominent has been the rise in working from home (WFH) as a more acceptable work location. In this paper, we explore preferences for and attitudes towards WFH in great detail, leveraging two waves of data to ex…

Using Discrete Choice Models with Experimental Design Data to Forecast Consumer Demand for a Unique Cultural Event
An approach is developed to forecast participation in unique events with long gestation periods. Experimental observations of choice are derived for conjoint measurement type multiattribute alternatives that describe possible event configurations. The choice data are analyzed by means of discrete choice econometric models. A multinomial logit choice model is applied to forecast the choice of attendance at various types of international exposition…

Upgrading Informal Settlements in South Africa
A billion persons live in slums worldwide, and 2 million households live in informal housing in South Africa. The stated goal of the South African government is to overcome this housing backlog by 2014; but doubling the budget will achieve this by only 2030. Current policy is to deliver a choice of housing alternatives; but in practice ‘a house on a fully serviced property with freehold title’ is seen as the only alternative. This paper describes…

On the Performance of Competitively Tendered, Public Sector Cleaning Contracts
Quantitative analysis of competitive tendering and contracting typically focuses on their effect on the cost of providing public sector services. In this article we turn to the systematic factors that appear to influence the performance of cleaning contracts. This is defined as compliance with contract specification, public perception of service quality and other qualitative measures of service characteristics as observed by the contracting autho…
The Structure of Journeys and Nature of Travel Patterns
The aim of this paper is to investigate at a conceptual level, with a limited amount of empirical evidence, the likely consequences on our present planning methodologies of taking into account the true structure of all journeys. A particular concern is the influence of changes in land-use configurations on the structure of journeys and the probable policy implications. A consideration of journey structure appears to offer one potentially promisin…
Mobility, Social Capital and Sense of Community
Recent research by the authors has shown that increasing trip making and improving a person’s social capital and sense of community is likely to reduce risks of social exclusion. That research has enabled values to be assigned to additional trip making, in the context of reducing risk of social exclusion. This paper extends that analysis to impute values to increasing a person’s sense of community and social capital. The social capital extension …

Intraurban Residential Relocation Choices for Students
Student residential relocation decisions are not well understood. Knowledge of the factors considered in such decisions is important in the planning of the residential accommodation requirements of tertiary institutions. In this paper we apply a probabilistic choice model of the logit form to identify the factors important to a student's choice between residential movement and nonmovement during the period of study. A sample of students in Sydney…

Competitive Tendering Policies in the Public and Private Sectors
This paper compares and contrasts the application of competitive tendering policies in the public and private sectors. It is based on information derived from a large‐scale survey of public and private sector organisations in New South Wales. Analysis of the survey responses suggests a common approach to the basic elements of the tendering (market‐testing) process. However, there are also some important differences, the most striking of which is …
Identification of Segmentation Criteria for the Improvement of Population Forecasts
It is often stated that the single most important influence on the quality of forecasts of behaviour is the set of predetermined exogenous variables (typically sociodemographic) that categorise the population. These variables are used to carry the sampled population into the future as a representation of the composition of future populations. Such variables or segmentation criteria are typically dictated by the limited set of descriptors projecte…

Deriving Willingness-to-Pay Estimates of Travel-Time Savings from Individual-Based Parameters
There is a small but growing literature that promotes the derivation of distributions of willingness-to-pay (WTP) estimates using information specific to each individual observation. These are referred to as individual conditional distributions, in contrast to approaches that rely on unconditional distributions that use random assignment in the construction of WTP distributions within a sampled population. The interest in alternative specificatio…

Thoughts on the Merits of Transport-Planning Packages
Transport-planning packages are increasingly being reappraised for technical content and role, in the current climate of capital rationing and short-run planning horizons. This paper outlines in a broad manner the major roles of established packages and suggests the major areas of deficiency, given that the present perceived planning emphasis will hold in the future. The important distinction between the concept of packages per se and the particu…

Sequential and Full Information Maximum Likelihood Estimation of a Nested Logit Model
Sequential estimation of a nested logit model is in general not an empirically desirable procedure, either as an alternative to full information maximum likelihood (FIML) estimation or as a source of param eter starting values for FIML estimation. Empirical studies which use varying ch oice sets across the sampled population create ambiguity in the link between seq uential and simultaneously estimated nested logit models. FIML estimation is now a…
Dimensions of Automobile Demand
The major objective of the study of the dimensions of automobile demand (1981-1988) is to obtain reliable forecasts of the variables which drive the fundamental energy equation: energy consumed (litres) = efficiency of technology (litres per 100 kilometres) × utilisation rate (kilometres per period). Since the level of utilisation is unlikely to be independent of the state of technology, and since both dimensions are conditioned by the state of t…

Mapping Stakeholder Perceptions of the Importance of Environmental Issues and the Success in Delivery
Environmental responsibility has become a major theme for universities. Most have an Environment Committee that advises their top administrators on practical approaches to enhancing environmental practices and education in the university with a broad mandate to develop a University Environment Policy and Implementation Strategy. An essential input into this process is the response from stakeholders to the performance of the policy and the strateg…
