[sustran] Re: Transport Demand Management

[Craig Townsend]

Stephen,

In 1995 I completed my master’s thesis entitled "People, Culture and 
Behaviour in the Bangkok Urban Region: Liabilities or Assets for 
Transportation Planning?" which involved identifying the prospects for 
TDM measures in Bangkok. I concluded with speculation that the old 
conventional wisdom (increasing supply of transportation infrastructure 
in an aqttempt to meet demand) and the new conventional wisdom (managing 
demand) are either inappicable or ineffective measures to address 
trasportation problems in Bangkok. 

My key references on transportation demand management included:

Black, John A. 1992. "Policy Measures for Land Use and Transport Demand 
Management and Their Implications in Managing Rapidly Growing Asian 
Metropolises." Regional Development Dialogue. Vol. 13, No. 3, pp. 3-25. 
Autumn.

Fan, Henry S.L., A.P.G. Menon, & Piotr S. Olszewski. 1992. "Travel 
Demand Management in Singapore". ITE Journal. Vol. 62, No. 12. pp. 
30-34. December.

Giuliano, Genevieve. 1992. "Transportation Demand Management: Promise or 
Panacea?" Journal of the American Planning Association. vol. 58, No. 3. 
Summer.

Harata, Noboru. 1994. "Guidelines for Urban Transportation Demand 
Management." Paper presented at A Symposium on Asian Urban 
Transportation...Bangkok Perspective. Bangkok: Asian Institute of 
Technology. July 27-28.

Liang Huew Wang & Anthony Gar-On Yeh (eds.). 1993. Keep a City Moving: 
Urban Transport Management in Hong Kong. Tokyo: Asian Productivity 
Organization.

Yordphol Tanaboriboon. 1993. "Demand Management Implementation in 
Southeast Asia". ITE Journal.Vol. 63, No. 9. pp. 21-28. September.


Some of the above sources contain details on cases of transportation 
demand management in Asia: most focus on Singapore and Hong Kong. I hope 
that these may be of help. 

Good luck,

Craig
