长期以来，远程工作一直被认为是减少日常出行和解决拥堵问题的一种方式，在交通研究中得到了广泛的研究。长期以来，经验共识认为远程工作会减少整体旅行，但一些最新研究现在表明相反。与此同时，远程工作在许多国家稳步增长，很少有研究考察常规远程工作者已经成长为早期多数的情况。我们研究远程工作如何影响日常旅行在这样的背景下，即瑞典从2011年至2016年。利用瑞典国家旅行调查的代表性微观数据，本研究还捕捉了在实际实施远程工作的规定时期内的旅行行为，区分不同的远程工作安排并分析了一系列旅行行为结果。我们的结论是，远程办公导致减少出行需求，更多地使用积极的交通方式，缓解拥堵。全职和兼职的远程工作者之间的重要差异也突出，强调理解远程工作作为一种多元化的应对策略，组织日常生活的时空性的重要性。
Telework, long promoted as a way to reduce daily travel and address congestion problems, has been extensively studied in transport research. Empirical consensus has long held that telework reduces overall travel, but several updated studies now suggest the opposite. Meanwhile, telework has steadily increased in many countries, and few studies have examined contexts where regular teleworkers have grown to form an early majority. We study how telework influences daily travel in such a context, namely, Sweden from 2011 to 2016. Using representative micro-data from the Swedish National Travel Survey, this study also captures travel behaviour during the defined period when the telework was actually practiced, distinguishing different telework arrangements and analysing a range of travel behavioral outcomes. We conclude that telework leads to reduced travel demand, more use of active transport modes, and congestion relief. Important differences between full- and part-day teleworkers are also highlighted, stressing the importance of understanding telework as a diversified coping strategy for organizing the spatiotemporality of everyday life.
