In this paper, a joint model of vehicle type choice and utilization is formulated and estimated on a data set of vehicles
drawn from the 2000 San Francisco Bay Area Travel Survey. The joint discrete–continuous model system formulated in this study
explicitly accounts for common unobserved factors that may affect the choice and utilization of a certain vehicle type (i.e.,
self-selection effects). A new copula-based methodology is adopted to facilitate model estimation without imposing restrictive
distribution assumptions on the dependency structures between the errors in the discrete and continuous choice components.
The copula-based methodology is found to provide statistically superior goodness-of-fit when compared with previous estimation
approaches for joint discrete–continuous model systems. The model system, when applied to simulate the impacts of a doubling
in fuel price, shows that individuals are more likely to shift vehicle type choices than vehicle usage patterns.

Activity-travel behavior research has hitherto focused on the modeling and understanding of daily time use and activity patterns
and resulting travel demand. In this particular paper, an analysis and modeling of weekly activity-travel behavior is presented
using a unique multi-week activity-travel behavior data set collected in and around Zurich, Switzerland. The paper focuses
on six categories of discretionary activity participation to understand the determinants of, and the inter-personal and intra-personal
variability in, weekly activity engagement at a detailed level. A panel version of the Mixed Multiple Discrete Continuous
Extreme Value model (MMDCEV) that explicitly accounts for the panel (or repeated-observations) nature of the multi-week activity-travel
behavior data set is developed and estimated on the data set. The model also controls for individual-level unobserved factors
that lead to correlations in activity engagement preferences across different activity types. To our knowledge, this is the
first formulation and application of a panel MMDCEV structure in the econometric literature. The analysis suggests the high
prevalence of intra-personal variability in discretionary activity engagement over a multi-week period along with inter-personal
variability that is typically considered in activity-travel modeling. In addition, the panel MMDCEV model helped identify
the observed socio-economic factors and unobserved individual specific factors that contribute to variability in multi-week
discretionary activity participation.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

Do changes in neighborhood characteristics lead to changes in travel behavior? A structural equations modeling approach 总被引:5,自引:2,他引:3
Suburban sprawl has been widely criticized for its contribution to auto dependence. Numerous studies have found that residents
in suburban neighborhoods drive more and walk less than their counterparts in traditional environments. However, most studies
confirm only an association between the built environment and travel behavior, and have yet to establish the predominant underlying
causal link: whether neighborhood design independently influences travel behavior or whether preferences for travel options
affect residential choice. That is, residential self-selection may be at work. A few studies have recently addressed the influence
of self-selection. However, our understanding of the causality issue is still immature. To address this issue, this study
took into account individuals’ self-selection by employing a quasi-longitudinal design and by controlling for residential
preferences and travel attitudes. In particular, using data collected from 547 movers currently living in four traditional
neighborhoods and four suburban neighborhoods in Northern California, we developed a structural equations model to investigate
the relationships among changes in the built environment, changes in auto ownership, and changes in travel behavior. The results
provide some encouragement that land-use policies designed to put residents closer to destinations and provide them with alternative
transportation options will actually lead to less driving and more walking.

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.

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.

This paper presents estimates of the rebound effect and other elasticities for the Canadian light-duty vehicle fleet using
panel data at the provincial level from 1990 to 2004. We estimate a simultaneous three-equation model of aggregate demand
for vehicle kilometers traveled, vehicle stock and fuel efficiency. Price and income elasticities obtained are broadly consistent
with those reported in the literature. Among other results, an increase in the fuel price of 10% would reduce driving by ~2%
in the long term and by 1% the average fuel consumption rate. Estimates of the short- and long-term rebound effects are ~8
and 20%, respectively. We also find that an increase in the gross domestic product per capita of 10% would cause an increase
in driving distance of 2–3% and an increase of up to 4% in vehicle stock per adult. In terms of policy implications, our results
suggest that: (1) the effectiveness of new fuel efficiency standards will be somewhat mitigated by the rebound effect and
(2) fuel price increases have limited impacts on gasoline demand.

This study explores the relationships between adoption and consideration of three travel-related strategy bundles (travel
maintaining/increasing, travel reducing, and major location/lifestyle change), linking them to a variety of explanatory variables.
The data for this study are the responses to a fourteen-page survey returned by nearly 1,300 commuting workers living in three
distinct San Francisco Bay area neighborhoods in May 1998. We first identified patterns of adoption and consideration among
the bundles, using pairwise correlation tests. The test results indicate that those who have adopted coping strategies continue
to seek for improvements across the spectrum of generalized cost, but perhaps most often repeating the consideration of a
previously-adopted bundle. Furthermore, we developed a multivariate probit model for individuals’ simultaneous consideration
of the three bundles. It is found that in addition to the previous adoption of the bundles, qualitative and quantitative Mobility-related
variables, Travel Attitudes, Personality, Lifestyle, Travel Liking, and Sociodemographics significantly affect individual
consideration of the strategy bundles. Overall, the results of this study give policy makers and planners insight into understanding
the dynamic nature of individuals’ responses to travel-related strategies, as well as differences between the responses to
congestion that are assumed by policy makers and those that are actually adopted by individuals.

A hybrid model of fuzzy and AHP for handling public assessments on transportation projects 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Turan Arslan 《Transportation》2009,36(1):97-112
Having an effective public participation in transportation planning and project development processes has been a major concern
for developed countries. In the United States, for instance, all state Departments of Transportation are subject to the Transportation
Equity Act (TEA-21) that formally requires public involvement in transportation planning. Since transportation planning involves
public resources and values, judgments by the public should play a key role in determining final decisions. Therefore, all
these agencies are required not only to disseminate information to the public, but also to solicit and consider public opinion
in forming transportation policy. This work presents a decision support model, with public involvement and public oversight,
to help policy makers select appropriate transportation projects for implementation. Since focus groups will face multiple
objectives and inexact information in the process, a hybrid model of fuzzy logic and analytical hierarchy process (AHP) is
proposed. A set of ‘if–then’ rules based on Weber’s psycho-physical law of 1834 is presented to reason from fuzzy numbers
to capture essential subjective preferences, pairwise, among the alternatives. The AHP is then incorporated to estimate preference
allotments among alternatives. An example application of the suggested method is provided seeking public approval of an appropriate
public bus transportation system choosing between one run by municipal authorities and one run by private agencies to show
how this procedure works.

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.

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.

Those who oppose tolls and other forms of road pricing argue that low-income, urban residents will suffer if they must pay
to use congested freeways. This contention, however, fails to consider (1) how much low-income residents already pay for transportation
in taxes and fees, or (2) how much residents would pay for highway infrastructure under an alternative revenue-generating
scheme, such as a sales tax. This paper compares the cost burden of a value-priced road, State Route 91 (SR91) in Orange County,
California with the cost burden under Orange County’s local option transportation sales tax, Measure M. We find that although
the sales tax spreads the costs of transportation facilities across a large number of people inside and outside Orange County,
it redistributes about $3 million (USD) in revenues from less affluent residents to those with higher incomes. The entire
Measure M program redistributes an estimated $26 million from low-income residents to the more affluent. Low-income drivers
as individuals save substantially if they do not have to pay tolls, but as a group low-income residents, on average, pay more
out-of-pocket with sales taxes.

Traffic microsimulation models normally include a large number of parameters that must be calibrated before the model can
be used as a tool for prediction. A wave of methodologies for calibrating such models has been recently proposed in the literature,
but there have been no attempts to identify general calibration principles based on their collective experience. The current
paper attempts to guide traffic analysts through the basic requirements of the calibration of microsimulation models. Among
the issues discussed here are underlying assumptions of the calibration process, the scope of the calibration problem, formulation
and automation, measuring goodness-of-fit, and the need for repeated model runs.

The paper unpacks the planning process into its component parts: model, process, technique, and goals—the “good thing”. The
paper advances the concept that planning, policy-making, and organizational restructuring can be analyzed under the same framework.
Each of the four components is described and reductionist examples are presented to clarify the intention and to illustrate
the technique that the transport analyst teams employ in their work. The examples cover both successes and failures. They
point toward the enormous scientific task ahead for planning to become meaningful and relevant to the problems of today. Finally,
in the frame of the willingness to pay, the paper puts forward a case for an institutional framework for a financially autonomous road administration. Similarly
organized, administered, and managed entities are relevant also for other transport modes.
