Whydowetravel? Travel is Derived Demand
Derived demand ”The theory of utilitariantraveldemand”
Derived demand • There is no benefit from the trip in itself (per se)! • It is the activities at the destination wewant/need/deriveutility from • Dwelling, workplace, services, facilities… Depends on the preferences for activities and the (generalizedcost) to reach the destination
Derived demand This is really the central core: Depends on the preferences for activities and the (generalizedcost) to reach the destination
Urban change process • Networks and land use • Workplaces and housing • Employment and population • Travel, goods transport speed
Land-use variables • Density (first order effect, second order effect) • Mixed land use • Neighbourhood design • Connectors: PT • Interactions: land use -> demand for PT -> supply for PT
Iftravel is deriveddemand • Preferences for activities • Generalizedcost Then… … demand for travelwilldepend on • spatial structure of activities(land use)and • determinants of generalizedcost(friction, impedance, resistance, deterrancefunction…. associated with the transport system)
(Remembergeneralizedcost) • Pecuniary (monetary) cost • In-vehicletravel time • Waiting time • Mode specificconstant • … anyeffort to cover the distancebetween the origin and the destination
First attempt In a simple four step model
Second attempt In a morecleverfour step model
Travel demand and the 3Ds • Density • Diversity • Design ”Elasticities are moderate to modest, butcertainly not inconsequential” Cervero and Kockelman (1998)
Self selection problem • Attitudes are important for travelbehaviour (somewouldcall this preferences) • Attitudes are important for locationalchoice • Therefore, it is difficult to disentanglewhat is what! Locationalchoice: residentialchoice, choice of workplacelocation, choice of shopping destination, or anyother destination/activity
So, a new attempt Complexinterplay of all variables Impact of LU caneasily be overestimated, if not carefullyaddressed
A sustainability paradox • Land-usepolicieswillhaveonly a minor effect as a measure for increasedsustainability • Land-usepattern is a dominatingfactor with a hugeimpact of sustainability
So why the different conclusions? • Different (some bad) research methods • Different levels • Different geographicalscales • Time horizon • Differencesbetweencountries • Impact of policy

Relationshipbetweenconsumer surplus and accessibility Consumer surplus can be measured in terms of the log sumformula It capturesboth the benefitsdue to GC, and the benefitsderived from the activities in the destinations!
Ex Section 5.7 in vW Assume a closed region Suppose wecanshrink the region r -> r/2 Area -> Area / 4 Assume that configuration of activities are keptconstant -> All distances are reducedreduced by 50% If no behaviouralchange, GC would be reduced by 50% r r
Ex Section 5.7 in vW All distances are reduced by 50% Butnowwecantravelmore! Suppose that CTTB hypothesisholds By tradingofftravel time disutilityagainst activity utilities, peoplecanchoosemore destinations, or moreremote destinations In the end, no change in total travel! Butcertainly, there are accessibilitybenefits! r r
Ex Section 5.7 in vW r r (Se PMG chapter 9.1-9.4, the latter is rathertechnical, not included in courseliterature)
