Travel Zones 2016

Travel Zones (TZs) are the spatial unit of geography defined by Transport Performance and Analytics (TPA), a business unit within Transport for NSW (TfNSW). The TZ spatial layer is applied to data sources used by TfNSW for transport modelling and analysis, including the Household Travel Survey and the Census 2016 Journey to Work data.\r\n\r\n\r\nThe Australian Bureau of Statistics (ABS) Statistical Area boundaries form the foundation of the TZ. Generally, a TZ is larger than a Statistical Area Level 1 or Mesh Block, both ABS geography definitions. The ABS Statistical Areas are based on population counts whereas TZ boundaries are defined using population, employment, housing and transport infrastructure.\r\n\r\n\r\nTZs are designed to have standardised trip generation levels across all zones. This causes zones to be different sizes across the metropolitan area. As with many other spatial boundaries, TZs tend to be small in areas with high land-use densities and larger in areas of lower density.\r\n\r\n\r\nThis dataset now includes a CSV file mapping the Transit Stop Number (TSN) to the Travel Zone (TZ16). It captures the stop name, suburb and coordinates.\r\n\r\n\r\n Travel Zone Explorer is an interactive map where you can search for Travel Zones (TZ) and find out the current and future population in occupied private dwellings by age and sex.\r\n\r\n\r\n

出行区（Travel Zones, TZs）是由新南威尔士州交通局（Transport for NSW, TfNSW）下属业务单元——交通绩效与分析部（Transport Performance and Analytics, TPA）所定义的地理空间单元。该出行区空间图层被应用于新南威尔士州交通局用于交通建模与分析的各类数据源，其中涵盖家庭出行调查以及2016年人口普查通勤数据。

澳大利亚统计局（Australian Bureau of Statistics, ABS）统计区域边界是出行区的构建基础。通常而言，出行区的规模大于澳大利亚统计局定义的1级统计区域（Statistical Area Level 1）与网格块（Mesh Block）。澳大利亚统计局统计区域仅以人口统计数据为划定依据，而出行区的边界则综合考量人口、就业、住房及交通基础设施等多类要素。

出行区的设计目标是实现所有区域的出行生成水平标准化，这使得大都市区内各出行区的面积存在显著差异。与多数其他空间边界类似，土地利用密度较高的区域，其出行区面积相对偏小；而土地利用密度较低的区域，出行区面积则相对偏大。

本数据集现包含一份将公交站点编号（Transit Stop Number, TSN）与出行区（TZ16）进行映射的CSV文件，该文件涵盖站点名称、所属郊区及坐标信息。

出行区探索器（Travel Zone Explorer）是一款交互式地图工具，支持用户检索出行区，并可按年龄与性别维度查询已入住私人住宅的当前及未来人口数据。
