The TRACE project: the effects of travel time and cost on demand for private road travel in European countries
The paper is intended as an overview and introduction to the TRACE project, but more importantly as a place to set out comments, ideas and intentions for the development of the approach to address wider planning issues than car restraint through pricing. It contains some discussion of the assumptions that are being made about the transferability and applicability of the travel demand models that are the core of the process. In the following sections, we provide a qualitative overview of these stages. The variable under study is road-users' behaviour, and how it responds to the basic stimuli (which is to say, relative suppressant) of travel time and travel cost. Useful dimensions of variation within which this stimulus/response can be organised include The 'contexts' for which the project approach builds up elasticities are defined in terms of all these dimensions.
