The effects of travel containment measures within COVID-19

The outbreak of COVID-19 has brought the world to a standstill. More than half of the world's population was in lockdown at the beginning of April. People were urged not to go out and avoid public transport. A few figures to take stock of the situation: around 4 billion people subject to various movement restrictions worldwide, air traffic is reduced by about 90% and shared mobility platforms activity reduced to 2% to 5% of their regular business. The current crisis, which is impacting both the supply and demand for transport, appears to be a privileged moment to rethink mobility and place it on a more sustainable trajectory. The Covid-19 crisis has a significant repercussion on demand and supply of mobility in Victoria as the Victorian government has put citizens in lockdown to limit the spread of COVID-19. This research aims to investigate the travel containment measures (government restrictions) taken in response to the COVID-19 emergency have on Victorian's mobility as this insight is vital to estimate parameters appropriate for the different stages of the crisis, before and after the implementation of prevention policies.
