Dear Colleagues,
This is a reminder about the 1-day seminar on ‘longitudinal methods for
understanding and modelling travel behaviour’ that is taking place at the
Department for Transport, Great Minster House, London on Wednesday 9
November. The event is free to attend. To request an invitation, please
contact Kiron Chatterjee at [log in to unmask]
An overview of the event follows – information about it is also available
at http://www.transport.uwe.ac.uk/.
Regards, Kiron Chatterjee

Longitudinal methods have been used to provide important insights on
behaviour in other policy areas (e.g. healthcare and education) but up to
now have been relatively little employed by transport planners in the UK.
With the emphasis in transport policy on facilitating behavioural change
this 1-day seminar explores what can be gained from longitudinal analysis
of travel behaviour and what is preventing its greater use. An outline of
the programme follows:
Policy needs
- Barbara Noble and Russell Harris (Department for Transport) - Studying
travel trends with the National Travel Survey
- Phil Goodwin (University of the West of England) - What we have learnt
from longitudinal methods so far
- Jo Bacon, Helen Bullock and Sara Skodbo (Department for Transport) –
Exploring the potential of longitudinal research
Understanding travel behaviour
- Kiron Chatterjee (University of the West of England) – Exploring
behavioural dynamics with a panel survey
- Tim Jones (University of the West of England) - A five year panel survey
to explore changing working practices and travel behaviour
- Martin Lanzendorf (UFZ – Centre for Environmental Research, Leipzig-
Halle) - What we can learn from mobility biographies
Modelling travel behaviour
- Joyce Dargay (Transport Studies Unit, Oxford) - Dynamic modelling
approaches and empirical evidence
- Olga Feldman (David Simmonds Consultancy) - Dynamic microsimulation for
modelling household location decisions
- John Swanson (Steer Davies Gleave) - From user equilibrium to system
dynamics - dynamic modelling in practice
Workshops
- Understanding dynamic travel behaviour
- Modelling dynamic travel behaviour
Lunch and refreshments will be provided.
