Abstract

While the benefits that can be derived from car pooling, for both individuals and the broader community, can be significant, the schemes have generally failed to make any significant impact on travel behaviour. One of the central reasons for these problems stems from inadequate planning prior to implementation and a poor understanding of what can realistically be achieved. Formal site based schemes are a particular example of where pre-implementation planning can be critical to the ultimate success of the programs. For without adequate planning the wrong type of scheme may be applied. However, with correct analytical techniques these potential problems can be identified and overcome before unnecessary funds are expended and the failures begin to undermine the credibility of the schemes.
