Impact of Policy Measures on Park-and-Ride Choice: Simulations Based on Park-and-Ride Choice Model

Abstract

A comprehensive P&R (Park & Ride) choice model was used as basis for a series of simulations. Those simulations showed which effects on the use of P&R facilities might be expected after implementation of various policy measures. According to these simulations, the implementation of combined policy measures to improve the quality of both the P&R facility and the connecting public transport and to discourage car drivers to use their car for door-to-door trips have large, positively effects on the use of the P&R alternative. These simulations give important insights in the direction of effects and their relative sensibility for different strategies being various (combinations of) policy measures.
