ESTIMATING POTENTIAL BENEFITS OF STAGGERED HOURS

A number of strategies for staggered work hour programmes were tested for corridors in the San Francisco Bay Area and in Ottawa. Various combinations of time perturbations were tested on afternoon peak period drivers in the Bay Area and on morning peak drivers in Ottawa. CORQ, a traffic model developed for estimating the traffic effects of strategies for improved network characteristics or demand management, gave quantitative estimates of the potential savings in total travel time for various strategies of advancing and/or delaying the times of origin of certain strategically chosen demands.
