Role of the built environment on mode choice decisions: additional evidence on the impact of density 总被引:5,自引:2,他引:3
Density is a key component in the recent surge of mixed-use neighborhood developments. Empirical research has shown an inconsistent
picture on the impact of density. In particular, it is unclear whether it is the density or the variables that go long with
density that affect people’s travel behavior. Many existing studies on density neglect confounding factors, for example, residential
self-selection, generalized travel cost, accessibility, and access to transit stations. In addition, most still use a single
trip as their observation unit, even though trip chaining is well recognized. The goal of this paper is to assess the role
of density in affecting mode choice decisions in home-based work tours, while controlling for confounding factors. Using the
dataset collected in the New York Metropolitan Region, we estimated a simultaneous two-equation system comprising two mutually
interacting dependent variables: car ownership and the propensity to use auto. The results confirm the role of density after
controlling for the confounding factors; in particular, employment density at work exerts more influence than residential
density at home. The study also demonstrates the importance of using tour as the analysis unit in mode choice decisions. The
study advances the field by analyzing the role of the built environment on home-based work tours. New knowledge is obtained
in the relative contribution of density vs. a set of correlated factors, including generalized travel cost, accessibility,
and access to transit stations.

This paper presents a detailed analysis of discretionary leisure activity engagement by children. Children’s leisure activity
engagement is of much interest to transportation professionals from an activity-based travel demand modeling perspective,
to child development professionals from a sociological perspective, and to health professionals from an active lifestyle perspective
that can help prevent obesity and other medical ailments from an early age. Using data from the 2002 Child Development Supplement
of the Panel Study of Income Dynamics, this paper presents a detailed analysis of children’s discretionary activity engagement
by day of week (weekend versus weekday), location (in-home versus out-of-home), type of activity (physically active versus
passive), and nature of activity (structured versus unstructured). A mixed multiple discrete-continuous extreme value model
formulation is adopted to account for the fact that children may participate in multiple activities and allocate positive
time duration to each of the activities chosen. It is found that children participate at the highest rate and for the longest
duration in passive unstructured leisure activities inside the home. Children in households with parents who are employed,
higher income, or higher education were found to participate in structured outdoor activities at higher rates. The child activity
modeling framework and methodology presented in this paper lends itself for incorporation into larger activity-based travel
model systems where it is imperative that children’s activity-travel patterns be explicitly modeled—both from a child health
and well-being policy perspective and from a travel forecasting perspective.

What neighborhood are you in? Empirical findings of relationships between household travel and neighborhood characteristics 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
In recent years, there have been studies of the influence of neighborhood or built environment characteristics on residential
location choice and household travel behavior. Interestingly, there is no uniform definition of neighborhood in the literature
and the definition is often vague. This paper presents an alternative way of defining neighborhood and neighborhood type,
which involves innovative usage of public data sources. Furthermore, the paper investigates the interaction between neighborhood
environment and household travel in the US. A neighborhood here is spatially identical to a census tract. A neighborhood type
identifies a group of neighborhoods with similar neighborhood socio-economic, demographic, and land use characteristics. This
is accomplished by performing log-likelihood clustering on the Census Transportation Planning Package (CTPP) 2000 data. Five
household travel measures, i.e., number of trips per household, mode share, average travel distance and time per trip, and
vehicle miles of travel (VMT), are then compared across the resulting 10 neighborhood types, using the 2001 National Household
Travel Survey (NHTS) household and trip files. It is found that household life cycle status and residential location are not
independent. Transit availability at place of residence tends to increase the transit mode share regardless of household automobile
ownership and income level, and job-housing trade-offs are evident when mobility is not of concern. The study also reveals
racial preference in residential location and contrasting travel characteristics among ethnic groups.

In transportation studies, variables of interest are often influenced by similar factors and have correlated latent terms
(errors). In such cases, a seemingly unrelated regression (SUR) model is normally used. However, most studies ignore the potential
temporal and spatial autocorrelations across observations, which may lead to inaccurate conclusions. In contrast, the SUR
model proposed in this study also considers these correlations, making the model more behaviorally convincing and applicable
to circumstances where a three-dimensional correlation exists, across time, space, and equations. An example of crash rates
in Chinese cities is used. The results show that incorporation of spatial and temporal effects significantly improves the
model. Moreover, investment in transportation infrastructure is estimated to have statistically significant effects on reducing
severe crash rates, but with an elasticity of only −0.078. It is also observed that, while vehicle ownership is associated
with higher per capita crash rates, elasticities for severe and non-severe crashes are just 0.13 and 0.18, respectively; much
lower than one. The techniques illustrated in this study should contribute to future studies requiring multiple equations
in the presence of temporal and spatial effects.

Following the passage of ISTEA, increased attention to pedestrian planning has led to the development of pedestrian plans,
particularly at the metropolitan and municipal levels. This has raised the issue of how cities and metropolitan areas evaluate
the walkability of the pedestrian realm and identify improvement projects. Three approaches to evaluating the pedestrian realm
are examined: instrumental rationality, communicative rationality, and phenomenology. Case studies demonstrating the application
of these approaches to the development of pedestrian plans are examined in the Phoenix metropolitan area, Portland, Oregon,
and Cambridge, Massachusetts.

In this paper, we take an initial look at the spatial and temporal flexibility in the activity patterns of the so-called “baby-boomer”
cohort (born 1947–1966) in comparison with younger and older adults. Using a unique longitudinal survey carried in Quebec
City from 2002 to 2005, we explore activity patterns and trip rates over a seven-day observation period during the first wave,
and take a first look at some aspects of their evolution over two subsequent waves at about one-year intervals. We model the
propensity to undertake activities within selected conventional non-work classifications such as “shopping” and “leisure”,
and also according to respondents’ own perceptions of the spatial and temporal flexibility of each out-of-home activity that
they had executed. While we cannot strictly separate cohort effects from age-related effects, after controlling for gender
and household structure, we infer that age and related lifestyle effects dominate in explaining these propensities. However,
the boomers were the only age stratum to increase their total out-of-home activity participation over the course of the panel,
an intriguing starting point for the future study of this cohort.

Land use-transportation scenario planning: promise and reality 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Keith Bartholomew 《Transportation》2007,34(4):397-412
Land use-transportation scenario planning has become increasingly common in regional and sub-regional planning processes.
The technique promises to provide citizens with opportunities to engage in constructive dialogue about the future of their
communities, and to serve as a basis for assertive action to direct the course of that future. This study reviews 80 scenario
planning projects from more than 50 U.S. metropolitan areas. The analysis reveals important gaps in the practice of scenario
planning—particularly in the areas of public participation, methodology, and institutional structures—and recent efforts to
address the shortcomings.

Children’s mode choice for the school trip: the role of distance and school location in walking to school 总被引:2,自引:0,他引:2
Noreen C. McDonald 《Transportation》2008,35(1):23-35
Rising levels of childhood obesity in the United States and a 75% decline in the proportion of children walking to school
in the past 30 years have focused attention on school travel. This paper uses data from the US Department of Transportation’s
2001 National Household Travel Survey to analyze the factors affecting mode choice for elementary and middle school children.
The analysis shows that walk travel time is the most policy-relevant factor affecting the decision to walk to school with
an estimated direct elasticity of −0.75. If policymakers want to increase walking rates, these findings suggest that current
policies, such as Safe Routes to School, which do not affect the spatial distribution of schools and residences will not be
enough to change travel behavior. The final part of the paper uses the mode choice model to test how a land use strategy—community
schools—might affect walking to school. The results show that community schools have the potential to increase walking rates
but would require large changes from current land use, school, and transportation planning practices.

This paper suggests using a proportional hazard model to predict personal income, for the purpose of imputing missing income
data in household travel surveys. The model has a hazard function that comprises two multiplicative components: (1) a non-parametric
baseline hazard function that is dependent only on the income level and (2) a function that is dependent only on the other
personal attributes of the survey respondents (excluding income). To estimate and validate the model, data is drawn from a
travel characteristics survey conducted in Hong Kong in year 2001. The model is found to have a much higher accuracy when
compared with a conventional ordered probit model based on the assumption that the logarithm of income is normally distributed.

This paper investigates the impact of a variety of travel information types on the quality of travel choices. Choice quality
is measured by comparing observed choices made under conditions of incomplete knowledge with predicted choice probabilities
under complete knowledge. Furthermore, the potential impact of travel information is considered along multiple attribute-dimensions
of alternatives, rather than in terms of travel time reductions only. Data is obtained from a choice experiment in a multimodal
travel simulator in combination with a web-based mode-choice experiment. A Structural Equation Model is estimated to test
a series of hypothesized direct and indirect relations between a traveler’s knowledge levels, information acquisition behavior
and the resulting travel-choice quality. The estimation results support the hypothesized relations, which provides evidence
of validity and applicability of the developed measure of travel-choice quality. Furthermore, found relations in general provide
some careful support for the often expected impact of information on the quality of travel choices. The effects are largest
for information services that generate previously unknown alternatives, and lowest for services that provide warnings in case
of high travel times only.

This paper reports the results of a stated-preference study aimed at investigating how transport decisions are made by receivers
or by transport operators about the potential use of an urban freight consolidation centre in the city of Fano, Italy. Because
there are no revealed preference data, a stated-choice methodology is used. The stated-choice experiments present two alternatives—one
using a private vehicle subject to various traffic regulations and one using the urban freight consolidation centre with varying
cost and efficiency levels. Conventional discrete choice data modelling shows that the potential demand is influenced mainly
by the distance of the parking bay from the shop, by access permit cost, by the service cost of the urban freight consolidation
centre, and by the delay in delivery time. Simulations are then performed to assess how the potential demand is affected by
various incentives and regulations affecting urban goods distribution.

Explaining obesity with urban form: a cautionary tale 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1

In recent years, there has been a dramatic increase in studies exploring associations between the built environment and obesity.
Many studies have found that built environment characteristics, such as high-density land developments, mixed-land uses, and
connected street networks, are associated with lower rates of obesity. However, depending on the research field and the researcher,
how one specifies the experimental model and how sociodemographic characteristics of the population are defined and included
in the model has led to different policy conclusions and implications. This is not a surprising observation; however, it is
one that does seem to have been lost in current discussions. This article highlights several data-processing, model-specification,
and model-estimation factors that should be comprehensively considered in studies of the built environment and obesity. Empirical
results based on data from Atlanta, GA, USA, illustrate that the association between the built environment and obesity is
sensitive to how age, income, and educational attainment are included in the model. Also, a detailed examination of land-use-mix
measures shows that it is difficult to create this measure and that results are sensitive to the treatment of missing values.
Models that distinguish between overweight and obese individuals are shown to provide richer insights into the associations
among obesity, built environment, and sociodemographic characteristics for the Atlanta area. The article concludes by offering
modeling recommendations for future studies.

Transport models, philosophy and language 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Paul Timms 《Transportation》2008,35(3):395-410
The aim of this paper is to encourage debate about the nature of transport modelling. It does so firstly by considering the
underlying philosophies of science (apparently) adopted by transport modellers, over a period of more than 50 years, from
the 1950s until the present day. The conclusion is that a new philosophy of science needs to be developed, which is more in
tune with how transport modelling is actually carried out (as opposed to how early transport modellers thought it ought to
be carried out). It is recommended that such a new philosophy perceives transport modelling as a linguistic activity within
the overall context of transport planning, which is in turn considered as a communication process. The paper outlines three
main approaches that could be taken in this respect, analysing transport models from metaphorical, narrative and aesthetic
perspectives. Conclusions are drawn upon the possible future research directions that might follow from the analysis provided
in the paper, emphasising the importance of bringing formal philosophical thinking into transport modelling research and practice.

Transportation specialists, urban planners, and public health officials have been steadfast in encouraging active modes of
transportation over the past decades. Conventional thinking, however, suggests that providing infrastructure for cycling and
walking in the form of off-street trails is critically important. An outstanding question in the literature is how one’s travel
is affected by the use of such facilities and specifically, the role of distance to the trail in using such facilities. This
research describes a highly detailed analysis of use along an off-street facility in Minneapolis, Minnesota, USA. The core
questions addressed in this investigation aim to understand relationships between: (1) the propensity of using the trail based
on distance from the trip origin and destination, and (2) how far out of their way trail users travel for the benefit of using
the trail and explanatory factors for doing so. The data used in the analysis for this research was collected as a human intercept
survey along a section of an off-street facility. The analysis demonstrates that a cogent distance decay pattern exists and
that the decay function varies by trip purpose. Furthermore, we find that bicyclists travel, on average, 67% longer in order
to include the trail facility on their route. The paper concludes by explaining how the distance decay and shortest path versus
taken path analysis can aid in the planning and analysis of new trail systems.

The primary purpose of this study was to investigate how relative associations between travel time, costs, and land use patterns
where people live and work impact modal choice and trip chaining patterns in the Central Puget Sound (Seattle) region. By
using a tour-based modeling framework and highly detailed land use and travel data, this study attempts to add detail on the
specific land use changes necessary to address different types of travel, and to develop a comparative framework by which
the relative impact of travel time and urban form changes can be assessed. A discrete choice modeling framework adjusted for
demographic factors and assessed the relative effect of travel time, costs, and urban form on mode choice and trip chaining
characteristics for the three tour types. The tour based modeling approach increased the ability to understand the relative
contribution of urban form, time, and costs in explaining mode choice and tour complexity for home and work related travel.
Urban form at residential and employment locations, and travel time and cost were significant predictors of travel choice.
Travel time was the strongest predictor of mode choice while urban form the strongest predictor of the number of stops within
a tour. Results show that reductions in highway travel time are associated with less transit use and walking. Land use patterns
where respondents work predicted mode choice for mid day and journey to work travel.

Transportation analysis emphasizes the necessity to internalize the transport externalities of car usage through taxation.
Yet taxation decisions are often made with non-transport goals in mind. In such cases, transport policies are made ‘by the
way.’ This paper examines such a case: Israel’s taxation policy on company cars. It shows that current taxation policies result
in increasing numbers of company cars and growing numbers of transport users who are not sensitive to the marginal cost of
car use and make excessive use of the car. As a result, a significant portion of Travel Demand Management (TDM) measures cannot
affect this group. The Israeli case of company car tax reform demonstrates the problematic effect of a policy that does not
take its overall consequences on other policy fields into account and thereby impairs efforts to reduce the negative impacts
of the transport system. Also, it demonstrates the importance of institutional aspects of transport policymaking.

Residential location,vehicle ownership and travel in Asia: a comparative analysis of Kei-Han-Shin and Kuala Lumpur metropolitan areas 总被引:1,自引:1,他引:0
The study examines the relationships between residential location, vehicle ownership and mobility in two metropolitan areas
of Asia, Kei-Han-Shin area of Japan and Kuala Lumpur area of Malaysia. It shows that, behind apparent similarities of household
auto ownership and travel time expenditure per household member, there are many causal relationships that are distinct between
the areas. The similarities and differences between the two areas point to the conjecture that the evolution of a metropolitan
area may be unique and path dependent, being heavily influenced by the history and culture of the locale, spatial and geographical
constraints, and historical progression in infrastructure development.

An analysis of the social context of children’s weekend discretionary activity participation 总被引:3,自引:1,他引:2
This paper examines the discretionary time-use of children, including the social context of children’s participations. Specifically,
the paper examines participation and time investment in in-home leisure as well as five different types of out-of-home discretionary
activities: (1) shopping, (2) social, (3) meals, (4) passive recreation (i.e., physically inactive recreation, such as going
to the movies or a concert), and (5) active recreation (i.e., physically active recreation, such as playing tennis or running).
The social context of children’s activity participation is also examined by focusing on the accompanying individuals in children’s
activity engagement. The accompanying arrangement is classified into one of six categories: (1) alone, (2) with mother and
no one else, (3) with father and no one else, (4) with both mother and father, and no one else, (5) with other individuals,
but no parents, and (6) with other individuals and one or both parents. The utility-theoretic Multiple Discrete-Continuous
Extreme Value (MDCEV) is employed to model time-use in one or more activity purpose–company type combinations. The data used
in the analysis is drawn from the 2002 Child Development Supplement (CDS) to the U.S. Panel Study Income Dynamics (PSID).
The results from the model can be used to examine the time-use choices of children, as well as to assess the potential impacts
of urban and societal policies on children’s activity participation and time-use decisions. Our findings also emphasize the
need to collect, in future travel surveys, more extensive and higher quality data capturing the intra- and inter-household
interactions between individuals (including children). To our knowledge, the research in this paper is the first transportation-related
study to rigorously and comprehensively analyze the social dimension of children’s activity participation.

Transportation and land-use preferences and residents’ neighborhood choices: the sufficiency of compact development in the Atlanta region 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This paper analyzes the transportation and land-use preference and actual neighborhood choices of a sample of 1,455 residents
of metro Atlanta. We develop a stated-preference scale on which desires for neighborhood type are gauged, from preferences
for low-density, auto-oriented environments to desires for compact, walkable, and transit-oriented neighborhoods. This scale
is then related to desires for change in one’s own neighborhood characteristics after a hypothetical move. If all neighborhood
preferences were equally likely to be satisfied, then neighborhood preferences would not be correlated with a desire for change.
By contrast, in the current study, stronger preferences for a more walkable environment are associated with greater desire
for change in one’s neighborhood characteristics. This suggests an undersupply of compact, walkable, and transit-friendly
neighborhood types relative to current demand.

In the US, the rise in motorized vehicle travel has contributed to serious societal, environmental, economic, and public health
problems. These problems have increased the interest in encouraging non-motorized modes of travel (walking and bicycling).
The current study contributes toward this objective by identifying and evaluating the importance of attributes influencing
bicyclists’ route choice preferences. Specifically, the paper examines a comprehensive set of attributes that influence bicycle
route choice, including: (1) bicyclists’ characteristics, (2) on-street parking, (3) bicycle facility type and amenities,
(4) roadway physical characteristics, (5) roadway functional characteristics, and (6) roadway operational characteristics.
The data used in the analysis is drawn from a web-based stated preference survey of Texas bicyclists. The results of the study
emphasize the importance of a comprehensive evaluation of both route-related attributes and bicyclists’ demographics in bicycle
route choice decisions. The empirical results indicate that travel time (for commuters) and motorized traffic volume are the
most important attributes in bicycle route choice. Other route attributes with a high impact include number of stop signs,
red light, and cross-streets, speed limits, on-street parking characteristics, and whether there exists a continuous bicycle
facility on the route.
