The Irish Government is determined to provide a better, effective and more convenient transport for everyone, no matter where they live. It is recognised that the impact of transport on the environment is crucial. One way to try and control road traffic growth in Dublin is through the introduction of a new light rail transit system called LUAS. Predicting the impacts of this system on travel behaviour is complicated, in particular given the lack of experience of this type of mode in Ireland.

The Potential Impacts of Luas on Travel Behaviour2017 •
The Irish government is determined to provide a better and efficient transport service for everyone, no matter where they live. It is recognised that the impacts of transportation and its travel behaviour on the environment is crucial. One way to try and control road traffic growth in Dublin is through the introduction of a new light rail system called LUAS. Predicting the impacts of this system on travel behaviour is complicated, in particular given the lack of experience of this type of mode in Ireland. It is important to emphasize that the people's modal choices of whether to use or not to use any of these modes of transportation (bus, car, bike, train and LUAS), is an important factor in determining and predicting travel behaviour. In this research, a method borrowed from social psychology called Theory of Planned Behaviour is used to examine the people's modal choices, travel decisions, changes in travel behaviour and also, predicting their travel behaviour.

A LUAS loop for North Dublin's Economic Core instead of Metro North2018 •
Metro North is the largest single project in the Government’s capital investment programme. This project emerged from a National Transport Authority Fingal/North Dublin Transport study in which options were assessed with the fundamental aim of serving the City Centre, Dublin Airport and Swords, while being technically feasible. This gave no weight to the travel patterns and transport needs of those living in the north part of Dublin City. Investing in Dublin’s transport should be founded on a clear sense of priorities, based on (i) travel patterns and population, (ii) the optimum use of resources available eg.streetspace, land use, finance, (iii) sustainability, particularly air quality. This paper proposes an alternative LUAS loop in North Dublin. This is based on (a) maps of Dublin’s Core Economic Area and population density, (b) travel patterns revealed in reports/studies (c) a review of the relative importance fast access public transport access to Dublin Airport and Swords.

A long-term analysis of passenger flows on a regional rail line2017 •
Promoting rail systems can represent a useful policy for rebalancing modal choices and reducing private car use, especially in high density contexts. Obviously, an increase in passenger numbers is only possible if generalised costs (i.e. a weighted sum of times and monetary costs) associated to public transport are abated. According to the recent literature and current professional practice, most strategies for achieving this objective are based only on infrastructural interventions which may be unfeasible or inadequate in densely populated contexts. Likewise, the adoption of policies based on replacing existing fleets or reducing fare levels entails increases in national or regional subsidies, which would be difficult to achieve in the current economic climate. Hence, our proposal is based on investigating effects on travel demand arising from the replacement or upgrading of existing signalling systems (both in terms of trackside and on-board equipment). Indeed, the recent European Union policy to create a single transnational interoperable rail network imposes the development of innovative signalling systems. In this context, since cost-benefit analysis has to be implemented to verify the economic and environmental feasibility of the proposed intervention strategy, an appropriate method should be developed to estimate passenger flows according to future configurations. In this paper, we propose a method to determine travel demand in current and future contexts by appropriately processing data from Italy's national census on mobility, population growth forecasts and turnstile counts. The proposed approach is applied to the regional ‘Naples–Sorrento’ rail line serving the metropolitan area of Naples in southern Italy in order to show its feasibility. Keywords: Public transport management, travel demand estimation, signalling system, environmental impacts, microscopic rail system simulation.

Evidence of changes in travel behaviour after the introduction of a new transit mode: Canberra's light rail2022 •
This paper analyses the changes in transit ridership due to the introduction of a new mode. The investigation is based on five years (2016-2021) of transit smartcard data collected from Canberra city. Travel disruption is an opportunity to establish new travel habits. Some disruptions are experienced at the individual scale. The introduction of a new transit mode triggers the changes in existing travel behaviour and helps to form new travel habits circling around the new transit mode system. This paper looks for evidence of changes in transit ridership in terms of card ids lost, gain in card ids, changes in the total number of trips, and changes in the intensity of trips. This study found that, in a typical pre-Covid year, about 43% of card IDs are new, showing substantial year-to-year churn in riders (or at least in cards). There was an increase in ridership after the opening of Canberra Metro that is larger than the typical growth in ridership. The growth incorporates riders shifting from bus to light rail as well as card IDs that were previously unobserved. This suggests that the LRT was able to increase transit use in Canberra despite its development along an existing bus corridor. This study can help policymakers to take decisions related to introducing a new transit system and extension of the existing light rail system in busy corridors of a city.

Assessing the Existing Bursa Light Rail Transportation System2020 •
As car ownership soars, traffic congestion and its associated negative impacts have become real concerns in many cities around the world. Therefore, transportation systems that perform better in eliminating or reducing traffic congestion and related problems to tolerable levels have become imperative. Alternative transit systems should be assessed properly to accommodate the expected demand in the long term, at least, to some significant extent. However, this is generally neglected in developing countries and, among many possible alternatives, a popular transportation system is usually preferred within the available budget. As an example, Bursa Metropolitan Municipality, Turkey, has recently implemented a light rail transportation system (LRT) on its major east–west corridor as the main transit system. In this study, the existing LRT is assessed and its performance is compared with a hypothetical bus rapid transit (BRT) system, which is a strong contender and comparatively a lower-c...
