Intelligent Transport Systems provide many opportunities as enabling technologies for Travel Demand Management (TDM) Programs. TDM strategies may be focused on improving asset utilisation, physical restraint, pricing or urban and social changes. In this paper examples of the contribution which ITS is making to a TDM program at a major university campus are examined. The Clayton Campus of Monash University has a daily population of about 20,000 - similar to larger regional cities in Australia. Two innovative components of a TDM program for the campus rely on ITS applications. The first is a dedicated carpark for carpool participants and the other is a web based advanced traveller information system. This paper examines the background to these two initiatives and initial experience with them.
