The spatial structure of carpool formation

Anthony J. Richardson, W Young

Open publisher page 6 citations

Abstract

The study which is described in this paper is primarily concerned with determining such carpool spatial structures for a sample of carpool journeys to and from work in Melbourne, Australia. The results are reported in terms of the length of carpool trips, the relationships between carpool members' origins and destinations and the deviations from a direct route which carpool drivers will tolerate in order to participate in a carpool.
