This study attempts to investigate telecommuting as an interactive policy of transport and land use for developing countries. Firstly, a nested logit (NL) model is developed to investigate the household travel behaviour on vehicle ownership, mode choice and trip chaining aspects. Secondly, the estimated NL model is applied for policy analysis considering telecommuting. Several satellite offices are located outside the CBD to reduce commuting distances only for the travellers who can change their work places. The new locations for the satellite offices are decided considering travel convenience as well as its compatibility with the current road network. In addition, several policies are investigated by combining telecommuting with road pricing and transit fare reductions to understand the combined effect with the integrated policy aspects. The impacts of the policies are presented with the reductions of vehicle kilometres of travel and air pollution considering Bangkok Metropolitan Region as a case study.
