Abstract:
This thesis investigates the factors why a significant number of international students at the Clayton precinct of Monash University continue to drive to campus, despite the availability of alternative transportation options. It implements participatory design workshops, interviews, and prototype testing to comprehend daily travel obstacles, including ambiguous information, perceived safety, time constraints, and inadequate public transportation. It collaborates on the development of a digital platform concept known as Mobility-as-a-Service (MaaS), which encompasses social support, rewards, shared travel options, and trip planning. The work might guide suburban university campuses and transport partners to reduce car trips and road emissions in the future.
