Again from a laymans point of view:
How does the congestion charging model incorporate the increased flow of
traffic in future -
perhaps by increasing the congestion charge or adding some other form of charge?
Are there any research on the type of traffic that have
disappeared/migrated? Was it the cross-london traffic or just some one from
Kensington avoiding to go to shopping to oxford street?
Another (and perhaps impractical) idea - How about setting up a website
where all vehicle owners i.e. households and companies can submit,
anonymously, the following information to a national survey:
For each car or a set of cars owned:
- postcodes of starting point and end point of journey
- journeys per week
- time of each journey (i.e. AM,PM etc.)
This could be a small project, advertised on relevant websites such as AA,
banks, DVLA, etc. in UK and similar ones elsewhere and also perhaps via
postal ballot.
It would be fascinating to map all this in a GIS.
