Travel Demand Management

This short course on Travel Demand Management (TDM) provides insights into new trends affecting TDM implementation such as working and studying from home; MaaS, greening of transport, and active travel.

The objective of this two day short course is to showcase the latest developments in Travel Demand Management (TDM). The course looks to give participants an opportunity to develop an appreciation of the techniques available in the TDM toolkit and gain an integrated understanding of key concepts, techniques and trends in TDM. The course will provide an opportunity to question, assess and respond independently and creatively to assumptions, propositions and debates around hot topics in TDM.

  • New directions for TDM:
    • Working from Home (WFH) as a TDM tool
