Abstract

The analysis and forecast of the travel impacts of telecommuting is particularly essential when the Australian Government has been implementing policies to encourage telecommuting. The travel impacts of telecommuting in this paper are assessed via the savings of network travel time. The network travel time here means the total daily travel time for the work purpose by all workers on both the road network and the rail network. Evaluating the savings of the network travel time is aimed to provide an overview of the benefits of telecommuting on a transport system. However, there are two factors that make this task difficult: 1. existing analysis models do not address impacts of telecommuting on the network travel time; 2. models are specific to the local conditions and particular countries and therefore they need much modification to apply to new conditions. This paper presents a computational method to evaluate the impacts of telecommuting on the network travel time and shows an application using the data from New South Wales.
