PASSENGER MOVEMENTS BETWEEN AUSTRALIAN CITIES,
1970–71 TO 2030–31
Background
• Arose from need to forecast light vehicle traffic on the national highways.
• But need to consider all modes.
• Thus aim is to model drivers of total passenger travel between cities.
• Only then can one predict highway car travel patterns.
Objectives
• Estimation of passenger movements by mode between Australian major cities from 1970-71 to 2003-04.
• What will growth be to 2030-31 in passenger movements by mode between Australian cities?
Ten city pairs• Sydney-Melbourne
• Sydney-Brisbane
• Melbourne-Brisbane
• Melbourne-Adelaide
• Eastern States-Perth
• Sydney-Adelaide
• Melbourne and Sydney-Gold Coast
• Eastern States-Tasmania
• Canberra-Sydney
• Eastern States-Northern Territory
Modes
• Air
• Car
• Coach
• Rail
• Other
Time series
Historical Data: 1970-71 to 2003-04
Projections: 2004-05 to 2030-31
Based on
GDP (Treasury)
Population Growth Rates (ABS)
Changes in Fares (various sources)
Main data sources
• Designed around tourism data on inter-regional passenger movements.
• Because the data has been and continues to be measured by Tourism Research Australia (TRA), to the tune of $4M/year.
• TRA surveys both domestic and international travellers about their travel between the regions of Australia.
• This data has been assembled for the 10 city pairs by mode from 1970-71 to 2003-04.
Gravity Model
Total passenger travel between any two cities (say i and j) can be calculated:
Tij = (Pi x Pj x GDPc2)0.524 / (Tc / CPI)-0.565
where
Tij - Total trips between regions i and j.
Pi and Pj - Total population in region i and region j.
GDPc - National gross domestic product per capita.
Tc - Real generalised cost of travel.
CPI - Consumer Price Index.
Logistic Substitution Model
• Forecasts of total travel were converted to forecasts for specific modes by using logistic substitution models of mode split.
• For each mode, a competitiveness index was estimated based on changes in the mode share over the last decade.
• A competitiveness index below 1.0 means the mode is expected to decline over time in share relative to air.
Logistic Substitution Model – Contd.
For example, on the short Canberra-Sydney route, the competitiveness indices are:
Air - 1.00Car - 1.02Coach - 0.98Rail - 1.03
On the long Sydney-Brisbane route (more typical of the intercity routes), the competitiveness indices are:
Air – 1.00Car - 0.97Coach- 0.93Rail - 0.93

So what do we get ?1. An understanding of the drivers of
travel.
2. An understanding of the patterns of mode share change.
3. A link to a continuing and funded data source updated yearly.
4. 1 to 3 provide the basis for the OZPASS interregional travel model.
5. Forecasts out of the OZPASS model are providing forecasts of car traffic along AUSLINK Corridors.
These forecasts are:
1. Systematic – based on transparent research.
2. Validated – Bruce Highways over 10 years.
3. Multi-modal – e.g. current airports project.
4. Open to scenarios – i.e. policy changes or changes in assumed conditions (e.g. fares).
Summary
• On all routes, except Canberra–Sydney route, air travel has been progressively taking mode share from car plus coach and rail.
• This effect will be less important in the future as the rate of mode share capture by air slows.
• Overall, total passenger travel growth is expected to continue to grow more quickly than GDP.
• The relationships found on the 10 corridors have been built into the OZPASS interregional travel model.
