A proof-of-concept Planning Support System which demonstrates the application of academic research to better inform public decision making. Using evidence-based modelling, future development scenarios in terms of employment creation and public transport patronage in the City of Wanneroo can be tested.
To design a suite of Stated Preference (SP) surveys and to examine the advantages and feasibility of combining these SP surveys with the upcoming Perth and Regions Travel Survey (PARTS, scheduled for 2016) to improve the mode choice component of Perth’s strategic models of the current strategic models.
The 2018-2022 Perth Area Travel and Household Survey (PATHS) provides valuable revealed and stated preference data for estimating a tour-based mode choice model. Compared to a trip-based transport model, a tour-based transport model is behaviourally more realistic and will provide better forecasts to policy or infrastructure initiatives.
Recognising this, the Department of Transport (DoT) of WA has decided to develop and implement a tour-based strategic transport model.
The project aim is to estimate a tour-based mode choice model on the revealed and stated preference data collected by PATHS.
