Recently, considerable technological progress has been made in the field of AutomatedDriver Assistance Systems (ADAS). Electronic devices inform or support the driver inaccident-prone driving situations, in order to improve the critical task of driving a motorvehicle. Potentially, ADAS offers important advantages for road transportation: increasedcontrol with respect to the speed and the position of vehicles on the road is important forestablishing homogeneous traffic flows and reducing the number of accidents. As suchADAS is assumed to have a positive impact on the use of road infrastructure and trafficsafety (Boussuge & Valade, 1994). Moreover, this could lead to a reduction of energy useand polluting gas emissions (Barth, 1995; Michaelian & Browand, 2000). As soon as parts ofor the whole driving task are supported and/or executed automatically by ADAS, vehicledriving could become more comfortable and more convenient as compared to today’s manualdriving (Stevens, 1997; Hoedemaeker, 1999). These expectations imply a high potential inindividual and societal advantages. In various countries, therefore, transport policy makers areincreasingly interested in the automation of vehicle driving tasks. However, current policydevelopment regarding ADAS is highly complicated by, among others, much uncertainty onfuture ADAS development and implementation in terms of whether ADAS implementationwill contribute to or conflict with transport policy goals, and the basic societal conditionsrequired for ADAS implementation (Marchau, 2000
THE EFFECTS OF TELEWORK ON ORGANISATION AND BUSINESS TRAVEL An exploratory study on a university context
In recent years, many companies have implemented telework to improve work efficiency and quality of life for employees. Transport planners attempt to assist companies in reducing business travel time losses related to traffic congestion by stimulating telework. However, current knowledge concerning the effects of teleworking on business travel is limited. Furthermore, despite constant promotion, telework penetration in The Netherlands remains low because companies are uncertain about the benefits of teleworking and its effects on their organisation and employees. In this paper, insights from literature review and pilot survey results are used to contribute to the development of a preliminary exploratory model.
