註釋The substitution of travel by telecommunication has been advocated as a strategy to reduce congestion on transportation facilities and thereby reduce fuel consumption and air pollutant emissions. Work-at-home schemes and workplace decentralization with satellite work centers are two alternatives being explored, as well as many other nontraditional approaches to structure workplace activities and worker responsibilities. The goal of this report is to offer a comprehensive framework of the interactions between telecommuting and travel behavior and to develop a mathematical model of the telecommuting adoption process. The framework identifies two principal actors in the decision process, the employee and employer. Discrete choice models are employed to formulate the adoption process of both employee and employer. These choice models are based on the ordered-response theory and the normality assumptions of the disturbances, known as the ordinal probit model. The models are calibrated using stated-preference survey data from three Texas cities.
