Availability: Find a library where document is available Abstract: Recent developments in sociotechnical factors that influence the interaction of air travel demand and telecommunication systems, including technical innovations, have renewed interest in this subject. Airlines have expressed concern that they will lose a significant portion of their future business travel growth to the electronic media. To improve the scientific basis for developing estimates of replaced travel and associated impacts such as infrastructure utilization, a research project was carried out on this topic. In this paper are presented highlights of findings on the determinants of travel substitution and stimulation phenomena. A systematic investigation of factors and their interrelationships is reported. The factors treated include socioeconomic variables, communication needs, technical capability and cost of telecommunications and transportation, institutional and policy variables, human factors, and transportation-telecommunications trade-offs in representative spatial and service contexts. Analyses and compiled behavioral information lead to a better understanding of travel impacts. Complexities and uncertainties are highlighted. An attempt is made to provide insights into the determinants and their interrelationships that could form an improved basis for projecting the effects of rapidly evolving telecommunications on air travel demand and related factors.
