The aim of the project is to investigate the conditions for changing public transport passenger flows and thereby reducing operating costs, as fewer vehicles are needed during the traffic day.
The research focuses on possible ways to reduce peak travel times, partly by investigating how individuals' behaviour can be changed through nudging and whether awareness of peak times can be increased, and partly by studying how decisions at a strategic level can enable changes that lead to a more even traffic flow and increased capacity. Ongoing studies focus on school start times – how these could be spread out and what effects this could have.
