MEASURING THE IMPACT OF TGV-NORD ON MOBILITY BEHAVIOR: RESULTS, METHODOLOGICAL FINDINGS AND POTENTIAL FOR ANALYSIS OF A THREE-YEARS PANEL

Since October 1992, one year before the total opening to service of the high-speed rail infrastructure between Paris and Lille, until September 1995, one year after the start of passenger services through the Channel tunnel, the behavior of the potential customers of the TGV having their residence in IDF or NPC regions, has been continuously observed through a specifically designed panel, the general architecture of which is described in a first step. Two great types of results will then be displayed: one considering the pane as repeated independent cross-sectional surveys, the other analyzing the mobility behavior on the basis of the constant panel. The corresponding results are commented upon, before debating the related methodological questions to be solved. Eventually, the on-going analysis is illustrated by the description of a complementary in-depth survey aiming at the understanding of the reasons for the behavioral changes in terms of mobility and modal choice concerning specific target groups.
