dc.description.abstract | This paper examines the characteristics of households with multiple car ownership in
Dublin, Ireland. Data from the 2006 Census of Ireland are analysed to ascertain the
characteristics of these households. The analysis of multiple car ownership presented
herein examines individual specific, transport availability, and household
characteristics to provide an indication of the individuals most likely to have access to
more than one vehicle. The analysis of multiple car ownership presented in this paper
examines both individual specific characteristics and household characteristics to
provide an indication of the individuals most likely to have access to more than one
vehicle. Understanding the characteristics of households with more than one car is
important for many reasons. Ireland, like many countries has recently launched a
number of electric vehicle and car sharing schemes. Traditionally these schemes have
been aimed at reducing multiple car ownership, therefore it’s important to develop an
understanding of the households that would most likely give up an extra car and use a
car club or an electric vehicle.
The results of this paper show that several factors impact upon multiple car
ownership. Factors such as occupation, residential density, household structure, and
public transport availability all have significant impacts upon the decision to own
more than one car. The findings of the multinomial logistic regression modelling are
applied to find an area in Dublin that has high potential for either changing the
households’ second or third vehicle to an electric car or the use of a car club. | en |
