Market segmentation studies in travel behavior research are ordinarily based on socioeconomic characteristics and personality
traits. This study explores the usefulness of a different approach, where the actual overall mobility levels across different
ground transportation modes, along with desired changes in the use of cars and transit, are used as clustering variables.
Using a given mode can in fact influence the personal representation of that mode, which in turn has been proven to be a key
element in transport behaviours. We form such multimodality-based clusters from two field studies, one involving employees
of the French transportation research institute INRETS and the other a representative sample of residents of the US San Francisco
Bay Area. We find that strong users of a given mode would like to bring more balance to their “modal consumptions” by decreasing
the use of this mode more than the average, and increasing the use of the alternative mode. However, concerning ground transport
travel budgets, the desire to travel more (or less) overall seems less strongly related to the composition of the modal balance. The US dataset shows also a greater latent demand for
travel than the French one. Socioeconomic characteristics of the clusters could not explain the patterns that were found,
confirming the importance of taking into account multimodality issues in travel behavior research. Some policy implications
from these findings are finally reported.

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.

Exploring spatial variety in patterns of activity-travel behaviour: initial results from the Toronto Travel-Activity Panel Survey (TTAPS) 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
Studies of urban travel behaviour typically focus on weekday activities and commuting. This is surprising given the rising
contribution of discretionary activities to daily travel that has occurred during the last few decades. Moreover, current
understanding of the relationship between travel behaviour and land use remains incomplete, with little research carried out
to explore spatial properties of activity-travel behaviour during the off-peak and weekend time periods. Weekend behaviours,
for example, influenced by the availability of time and the spatiotemporal distribution of “weekend” destinations, likely
produce spatially and temporally distinct activity-travel patterns. Using data from the first wave of the Toronto Travel-Activity
Panel Survey (TTAPS), this paper examines an area of research that has received little attention; namely, the presence of
spatial variety in activity-travel behaviour. The paper begins by looking at the extent to which individuals engage in spatially
repetitive location choices during the course of a single week. Area-based measures of geographical extent and activity dispersion
are then used to expose differences in weekday-to-weekend and day-to-day activity-travel patterns. Examination of unclassified
activities carried out over a 1 week period reveals a level of spatial repetition that does not materialise across activities
classified by type, travel mode, and planning strategy. Despite the inherent spatial flexibility offered by the personal automobile,
spatial repetition is also found to be surprisingly similar across travel modes. The results also indicate weekday-to-weekend,
and day-to-day fluctuations in spatial properties of individual activity-travel behaviour. These findings challenge the utility
of the short-run survey as an instrument for capturing archetypal patterns of spatial behaviour. In addition, the presence
of a weekday-to-weekend differential in spatial behaviour suggests that policies targeting weekday travel reduction could
have little impact on travel associated with weekend activities.

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.

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.

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 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.

In this paper, we used the 10-wave Puget Sound Panel Dataset to investigate the response lag of a significant change in discretionary
time use. In particular, we want to quantify the relative magnitude of the following factors: the built environment, family
and social obligations, temporal constraints, or a psychological delay factor (people delay a behavioral change until the
next life shock). To answer this question, we developed a survival model to treat (1) left-censoring, (2) partial observation,
and (3) multi-type exits. The results suggest that family and social obligations, as well as temporal constraints, appear
to play a more important role than the built environment. Support for the psychological delay factor is not evident. We also
found that the probability of having a significant change in discretionary time use is negatively related to time progression,
supporting the human adaptivity hypothesis.

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.

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.

An integrated spatio-temporal GIS toolkit for exploring intra-household interactions 总被引:1,自引:0,他引:1
This paper reports on the development of an integrated spatio-temporal GIS toolkit that facilitates the exploration of intra-household
interactions. Two tools comprise the toolkit. The first tool, Space-Time Coincidence Analyst, identifies joint activity/travel episodes undertaken by household members. The core of this tool is a set of flexible criteria
for classifying episodes as either joint or independent. The second tool, Space-Time Path Visualizer, not only displays space-time paths for household members, but also shows joint episodes undertaken by any two household
members together. The toolkit can be applied to any household-based, activity/travel data set so long as required information
is specified by the user. To demonstrate its usefulness for research, the toolkit is applied to the TAPS (Toronto Activity
Panel Survey) 2002–03 data set. The results suggest that considerable variation exists in the number of joint activity/travel
episodes identified using different classification criteria. Specifically, when using restrictive criteria (i.e., same timing,
specific activity type/travel mode), only 2,265 joint activity/travel episodes are identified compared to 8,791 when using
more flexible criteria. In turn, our results show that certain key attributes for independent and joint activity/travel episodes
(i.e., frequency per household, starting time, ending time and duration) also vary under the different classification criteria.

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.

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.

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 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.

The impact of urban form on automobile travel: disentangling causation from correlation 总被引:5,自引:3,他引:2
A longstanding question within the field of transportation demand management is the strength of the relationship between urban
form and mobility behavior. Although several studies have identified a strong correlation between these variables, there is
as yet scant evidence to support policy interventions that target land use as a means of influencing travel. To the contrary,
some of the more recent research has cast skepticism on the proposition that the relationship is causative, recognizing the
possibility that households endogenously self-select themselves into communities that support their preferences for particular
transportation modes. Focusing on individual automobile travel, the present study seeks to contribute to this line of inquiry
by estimating econometric models on a panel of travel-diary data collected in Germany between 1996 and 2003. Specifically,
we employ the two-part model (2PM)—a procedure involving probit and OLS estimators—to assess the determinants of the discrete
decision to use the car and the continuous decision of distance traveled. Beyond modeling variables that capture the urban
form features that are commonly suggested to influence mobility behavior, including mixed use and public transit, this study
employs instrumental variables to control for potential endogeneity emerging from the simultaneity of residential and mode
choices. Unlike much of the work to date, our results suggest that urban form has a causative impact on car use, a finding
that is robust to alternative econometric specifications.

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.

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 most developed countries motorized transportation is the dominant form of travel for long and short journeys. Transport-related
physical activity (TPA), however, is advocated as an appropriate transport mode for traveling short distances. The purpose
of this study is to explore the associations between private automobile availability, overall physical activity levels, and
TPA engagement in the adult population. A population-representative telephone survey assessed socio-demographics, private
automobile availability, overall physical activity levels, and travel to place of work/study and the convenience shop with
an adult sample (n = 2,000) residing in North Shore City, Auckland, New Zealand in April 2005. The majority of respondents reported unrestricted
(80%) or frequent (12%) private automobile availability. After controlling for covariates, binary logistic regression analyses
revealed those with no private automobile available were less likely to be classified as sufficiently active for health benefits
when compared to respondents with unrestricted private automobile availability. However, this finding was based on a small
minority (4%). Also, those reporting no private automobile availability were more likely to walk or cycle to place of employment
and the convenience shop when compared to those with unrestricted private automobile availability. Similar to other self-report
travel and physical activity survey tools, the questionnaire used potentially did not adequately capture TPA engagement. Future
TPA research needs to incorporate objective measures to address this issue.
