[sustran] Re: International Comparisons - Help Please!

[P.Sillaparcharn]

Dear Alan, 

The following reference might be useful.

Dargay, J. and Gately, D., 1999. Income's Effect on Car and Vehicle Ownership, Worldwide: 1960-2015. Transportation Research. Part A, Vol 33 No 2: pp 101-138.

They made projections of the growth in the car and total vehicle stock to the year 2015, for OECD countries and a number of developing economies, including China, India and Pakistan.

Another reference is:

International Road Federation, 2001. World Road Statistics 2001, IRF Geneva.



In this reference, you may find records of vehicle stocks, population, etc. for over hundreds of countries.  



I hope this help.



Regards,

P.Sillparcharn

  Subject: [sustran] International Comparisons - Help Please!


  I have just discovered that I have a presentation to make in not much more than 24 hours, to an audience of Mumbai decision-formers.  Working title - ""Urban transport - learning from the mistakes of others".  It's stretching my core specialisation a bit (Public Transport / Buses), and as I am in Mumbai I don't have access to reference sources back in the office (which are pretty UK-oriented anyway).

  So I am looking for some (on-line) data on international transport comparisons - preferably urban rather than rural.  Things like - 
  - Cars owned per head
  - Car USAGE per head
  - %age urban area devoted to roads
  - pollution levels / greenhouse gas emissions
  - Modal share data

  Trend data would be useful too.

  It may well be that a lot of what I am looking for is in the UITP's Millennium Cities Database - but the problem is it is not available on-line, and the summary data I have from it is back at the ranch (and possibly corrupted).

  I am currently looking at Todd Litman's VTPI page "Why Manage Transportation Demand?" http://www.vtpi.org/tdm/tdm51.htm , which has plenty of appropriate words but not many numbers - it has plenty of links though, some of which may well be useful.  And I will also look at SUTP.  But if anyone can give me a more precise steer, I would be most grateful.
