High-Speed Railway Developments and the Location Choices of Offices: The Role of Accessibility

New high-speed railway infrastructure is to be implemented in the Netherlands in the year 2007. In the context of land-use/transport interaction, this paper ex ante evaluates the possible effects of this new infrastructure on employment location. A revealed choice model indicates that the current location of employment is not significantly influenced by the existing high-speed train services on conventional track. However, according to a stated choice model international high speed train services do have an impact when running with frequencies higher than the current services. Experience with these model estimations suggests that using a combination of revealed choice and stated choice data might improve the capability of a land-use/transport interaction model to evaluate high-speed railway developments. Furthermore, the use of perceptions data additionally to calculated indicators can have a beneficial impact on model estimation.
