■Summary of Seminar
The seminar will be jointly animated by the two speakers, drawing on a variety of research traditions, including gender studies, organisational psychology, activity and travel behaviour analysis, longitudinal data collection and analysis, and gaming-simulation. There will be three parts to the seminar:
a) Lectures providing contextual information from longitudinal national and provincial statistics, over up to 30 years, on the evolution of workforce participation by different household structures, and from an in-depth, 3-wave longitudinal panel survey of decision-making by individuals and households about the spatio-temporal organisation of their activities and travel.
b) A period of guided exchange among seminar participants on the scope and potential of emerging data collection methods, notably as concerns life-oriented approaches and the observation of individual, household and agency decision-making. Particular reference will be made to the use of ICTs to observe, and potentially influence, mobility behaviour in the interests of transport safety and system performance.
c) An open discussion on the implications of insights and inferences from research in these areas, and on the identification of leading problem areas, appealing research designs, new and improved methods, and promising public policy levers.
