In this paper, a detailed account is provided of how dynamic population levels were estimated for Sydney, using the Sydney Household Travel Survey. It focuses on decisions that need to be made when replicating this methodology, as well as caveats that need to be considered when applying this to a variety of applications that are of some interest to the transport researcher. In addition to aircraft noise externalities, an examination is made of methodological considerations for measuring the dynamic population exposure to air pollution (which in part stems from vehicle use). Also, the implications of a dynamic population for disaster management and evacuation planning are considered. (a) For the covering entry of this conference, please see ITRD abstract no. E214666.
