摘要：	Recently, there has been an increased interest in telecommuting in Singapore. A survey of 630 companies indicated that although only 1.7% have a formal telecommuting arrangement, 3.6% plan to introduce it in the near future and an additional 21.6% would like to explore the concept. Singapore has many of the prerequisites for telecommuting to become popular: a high and growing proportion of information workers, an excellent telecommunications infrastructure, and a large installed base of personal computers. To assess the potential effects of telecommuting, a stratified travel demand analysis was performed by using travel characteristics specific to different groups of information workers. The results indicate that a considerable reduction in vehicle trips to work can be achieved if telecommuting becomes more popular. The potential reduction is up to 4.9% in the year 2005 and up to 11.2% in 2010. The corresponding savings in distance traveled are in the range of 512,000 to 1,309,000 vehicle-km. Although these predictions have a high degree of uncertainty, they indicate that telecommuting has a potential to provide significant travel reduction benefits in Singapore and should be used as a travel demand management tool.
