Travel Demand Model

Every sector needs to minimize GHG emissions to limit climate change. Emissions from transport, however, have remained mostly unchanged over the past thirty years. In particular, air travel for short-haul flights is a significant contributor to transport emissions. This article identifies factors that influence the demand for domestic air travel. An agent-based model was implemented for domestic travel in Germany to test policies that could be implemented to reduce air travel and CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. The agent-based long-distance travel demand model is composed of trip generation, destination choice, mode choice and CO<sub>2</sub> emission modules. The travel demand model was estimated and calibrated with the German Household Travel Survey, including socio-demographic characteristics and area type. Long-distance trips were differentiated by trip type (daytrip, overnight trip), trip purpose (business, leisure, private) and mode (auto, air, long-distance rail and long-distance bus). Emission factors by mode were used to calculate CO<sub>2</sub> emissions. Potential strategies and policies to reduce air travel demand and its CO<sub>2</sub> emissions are tested using this model. An increase in airfares reduced the number of air trips and reduced transport emissions. Even stronger effects were found with a policy that restricts air travel to trips that are longer than a certain threshold distance. While such policies might be difficult to implement politically, restricting air travel has the potential to reduce total CO<sub>2</sub> emissions from transport by 7.5%.

The study analyzed the different factors that are responsible for the harassment of women garment workers in Bangladesh. Three garment factories from Mirpur area under Dhaka district were selected purposively where garment factories are available. The sample consisted of 90 women workers taking 30 randomly from each of the three garment factories. Female workers are mostly employed at the lower category of jobs like operator, finishing helper, polyer etc. These jobs are very monotonous in nature. Because of the nature of their jobs, female workers sometimes lose interest in work and become depressed. A large number of female workers received low and irregular wages which create their job dissatisfaction. Only 22 female workers earned salary between Tk. 2700 to Tk. 3000 per month. Female workers are sexually harassed by their co-workers in the factory or by police or by mastans in the street. Communication problem is a major problem faced by most of the female garment workers. A long distance travel is not only physical strenuous but also mentally stressful. Their overtime rate is very low. Long working hours result in a number of illnesses and diseases like headache, eye trouble, ear ache, musculoskeletal pain etc. Women are exploited easily due to lack of technical knowledge and training. The employers do not pay any heed to this exploitation. Keywords: Garment industry; Women workers; Harassment DOI: 10.3329/jbau.v8i2.7940 J. Bangladesh Agril. Univ. 8(2): 291-296, 2010

This research is done by making the type and hierarchy of public service facility in Pontianak City, service radius, travel behavior, and so on as research variables. Furthermore, this article will use a descriptive statistical approach to provide an overview of society's choice of public service facilities.There are two main factors influencing the choice of people in Pontianak Utara Subdistrict to the distribution of public service facilities, ie mileage and service quality. One character of the community's journeys in the region is long distance travel is not an obstacle to go through if the facilities to be visited are recreational facilities, trade facilities, and worship facilities.Keywords: public service facilities, mileage, descriptive statistics, Pontianak CityREFERENCESBPS Kota Pontianak.
