Transport networks in cities such as Sydney are at or near capacity. It is no longer socially, environmentally or financially sustainable to continue supplying additional transport infrastructure to meet increased demand. An alternative is to make better use of existing infrastructure by spreading demand more evenly across the day. This project will test behavioural responses to increased congestion and quantify the phenomenon of peak spreading. It will assess economic costs and benefits of using congestion as a signal to encourage more efficient network usage, and examine other tools (e.g. time-based transport pricing) to encourage more efficient use of transport infrastructure.

悉尼等城市的交通网络已达到或接近饱和。继续提供额外的运输基础设施以满足不断增加的需求，无论是在社会、环境还是财政上都不再具有可持续性。另一种方法是更好地利用现有的基础设施，在一天中更均匀地分配需求。该项目将测试对交通拥堵增加的行为反应，并量化高峰扩散现象。研究将评估以交通挤塞为信号，鼓励更有效地使用网络的经济成本和效益，并研究其他工具（例如按时间计算的交通收费），以鼓励更有效地使用交通基础设施。
