Abstract

The Sydney Area Transportation Study (SATS) was undertaken in the early 1970s with future forecast year of 2000. This paper examines the forecasts that were produced by SATS and compares them with what actually happened. The Sydney Area Transportation Study was a NSW Government organisation established in the early 1970s to determine the transport needs of Sydney. To meet these objectives a considerable amount of effort and resources were devoted to developing a strategic travel model, a predecessor of the Sydney Strategic Travel Model currently operated by the Transport and Population Data Centre (TPDC). To support the development of the model the first large scale travel survey in Sydney was undertaken. The current Household Travel Survey (HTS) undertaken by the TPDC has a number of similarities with the SATS travel survey. (a) For the covering entry of this conference, please see ITRD abstract no.
