Analysis of peak hour travel using the Sydney Household Travel Survey data

This paper examines various aspects of the peak hour travel in Sydney. The analyses are provided mainly to assist in the consideration, assessment or improvement of the different demand interventions and to demonstrate how available empirical data from the Sydney Household Travel Survey (HTS) can be applied to inform this process. The paper begins with a discussion of the broad trends in travel between 1991 and 2004 focussing on the demands at various times of the day. The following section describes aspects of the peak hour travel, such as the purpose of travel and the socio-demographic characteristics of the travellers for indications on how demand can be managed. The next section looks at some of the details of the peak hour travel in relation to a number of demand-management strategies that are currently in application. Finally, trip flows to the major centres are examined to identify the main routes that absorb demand. The paper concludes with a summary of findings and conclusions.
