The development of a comprehensive mechanism for measuring the value of public transport is important to gain a greater understanding of existing networks and plan optimal future networks.

This report presents the results of an independent evaluation undertaken by Allen and Clarke between January and July 2015 on the effectiveness of the NZ Transport Agency (the Transport Agency) procurement policy framework and its implementation by f…

A review of the performance of slopes in historical earthquakes, a review of relevant literature describing recent research, consideration of New Zealand’s distinctive topography and seismicity, and limited numerical analyses have been carried out.

Two econometric models were built to test the effects of reduced travel time between regions within New Zealand.

This report investigates the degree to which current tax polices influence travel behaviour (perhaps unintentionally) in ways that contradict strategic policy objectives.

Generalised linear models (GLMs) provide a flexible and sound basis for calibrating gravity models for trip distribution, for a wide range of deterrence functions (from steps to splines), with K factors and geographic segmentation.

This project aimed to identify the best approach for determining and monitoring the contribution that government regulatory interventions in New Zealand make to mitigate the major risks associated with the land transport system.

The 2015 Government Policy Statement on Land Transport focuses on economic growth, productivity, road safety, and value for money.

A methodology and computer-based model was developed to analyse the performance of urban bus services in terms of their operations, market indicators and financial performance.

This research was undertaken in New Zealand in 2010-11 to investigate the economic concepts of option values and non-use values as applied to public transport services, and to undertake primary market research in New Zealand to estimate approximate v…
