Presentation
Eva-Lena is a PhD student in Production Economics at Linköping University and K2. Her research project focuses on the possibility of spreading out the travel demand with public transport during peak hours by using different types of policy instruments and incentives. The purpose of the project is to research the conditions for even out the travel demand throughout the day, resulting in a reduction in cost for public transport since fewer vehicles are needed during a traffic day. The research centres on possible measures to reduce the travel peaks by examining how the behaviour of individuals can be changed and by studying how decisions within organisations can enable changes resulting in a more even traffic flow and increased capacity. Ongoing studies focus on the staggering of school starting hours and which effects this measure can have.
