Primary Research<br />
• Household Travel Survey 2011–12<br />
– This continuous survey by<br />
Tf<strong>NSW</strong>’s Bureau <strong>of</strong> Transport<br />
Statistics provides comprehensive<br />
information on the travel<br />
patterns <strong>of</strong> residents <strong>of</strong> Sydney,<br />
<strong>New</strong>castle and the Illawarra.<br />
It informs transport planning<br />
and policy and monitors the<br />
strategic <strong>NSW</strong> 2021 targets for<br />
public transport mode share.<br />
• Sydney Cycling Survey 2011<br />
– Tf<strong>NSW</strong> and Roads and<br />
Maritime Services measured<br />
cycling activity (mode share)<br />
against the <strong>NSW</strong> 2021 target.<br />
The survey also collected<br />
information on community<br />
cycling participation and its<br />
attitudes about toward cycling.<br />
• Rail barrier counts for CBD<br />
Stations 2012 – The <strong>annual</strong><br />
barrier count <strong>of</strong> CBD stations<br />
was conducted in May. The<br />
data collected is an important<br />
input to rail patronage<br />
estimates, for strategic rail<br />
planning and timetabling.<br />
Model Development<br />
• Public Transport Project Model –<br />
This was developed to estimate<br />
public transport patronage for<br />
project evaluation. It has been<br />
used extensively to provide<br />
patronage forecasts for the<br />
North West Rail Link and Sydney<br />
Strategic Light Rail Plan projects,<br />
Long Term Transport Master<br />
Plan, Rail Strategy and Bus Plan.<br />
Other Research<br />
• Transport market surveys for<br />
the North West Rail Link, Light<br />
Rail and Wynyard Master Plan:<br />
modelling to estimate likely<br />
demand for each project.<br />
• Sydney CBD shuttle service<br />
customer surveys and passenger<br />
counts: On-board customer<br />
surveys and passenger counts<br />
collected information about trip<br />
characteristics and customer<br />
pr<strong>of</strong>iles to inform service reviews.<br />
Publications and<br />
statistical products<br />
• 2011 Transport Customer Survey,<br />
Customer Satisfaction with<br />
Public Transport Services<br />
Papers to Australasian<br />
Transport Research Forum:<br />
• Extending the Sydney Strategic<br />
Model to represent toll road<br />
and park-and-ride choices<br />
• An empirical assessment <strong>of</strong><br />
teleworking using Sydney<br />
Household Travel Survey data<br />
• Forecasting car ownership<br />
in the Sydney area<br />
• Prediction <strong>of</strong> vehicle<br />
kilometres travelled: A multilevel<br />
modelling approach<br />
• Detailed analysis <strong>of</strong> the travel<br />
patterns <strong>of</strong> rail users in Sydney.<br />
• Strategic Travel Model (STM) –<br />
Tf<strong>NSW</strong> continued to improve<br />
STM as part <strong>of</strong> better meeting<br />
customer needs. The work<br />
involved updating parameters<br />
to separately model park and<br />
ride, kiss and ride access, and<br />
bus and walk modes to rail.<br />
• Population Segmentation<br />
Forecasting Model – Forecasting<br />
models were developed to inform<br />
the STM. This allows long-term<br />
small area population forecasts to<br />
be segmented by selected sociodemographic<br />
characteristics.<br />
