Modelling flyover induced travel demand in Dhaka, Bangladesh

This research evaluates induced travel demand with the construction of transport infrastructure in Dhaka, Bangladesh using flyovers as a case study. It examines whether transport infrastructure induces travel behaviour changes of individuals and explains that flyover users did not generate any induced travel kilometres. However, flyover users switched their travel mode, route, and residential location for travel time savings. The findings contribute to guide policies that include the effects of induced travel demand when constructing new roadway facilities, such as flyovers in Dhaka and other similar cities in developing countries
