Prestudy on the interaction between private and public transport in transport telematics (SVI2001/512)
Overview
Background & policy context:
The effects of road traffic telematics systems on road traffic were analysed and presented in the road traffic telematics strategy for Switzerland for the year 2010. The interaction between motorised private transport and public transport could only be partially considered in this study and this was a reason for creation of this preliminary study.
Objectives:
The main aim of the preliminary study therefore is to look at the interaction between private motorised transport (“private transport”) and public transport following the introduction of traffic telematics systems. The study shows how such systems affect modal choice. The research was limited just to study a passenger transport. The research also covered whether the current methods used for traffic planning (traffic models, elasticity etc.) can be used to estimate these interactive effects.
Methodology:
The study was provided in two steps:
- Detailed review of the available literature,
- Interviews with eight different experts
