Do supra-modal traveller types exist? A travel behaviour market segmentation using Goal framing theory

Travel behaviour market segmentations have become a popular method of identifying different types of car users, bicyclists or public transport users. However, while previous studies have looked at different types of users within single modes, such as the car, little research has explored the existence of traveller types transcending modes. The study presented here is an extension of an earlier segmentation study that distinguished travellers based on their individual preferences, yet did so independent of their current mode choice. The data came from a travel survey at a middle-sized UK university and were analysed using a combination of hierarchical and iterative partitioning methods. Crucially, however, the current study uses a different theoretical framework to previous segmentation research—goal framing theory—which may more adequately explain the findings than models used in the past such as the theory of planned behaviour. The findings supported earlier work, suggesting the presence of seemingly stable traveller types that cut across modes and can be distinguished based on gain, hedonic and normative goals. This has important implications for policies aimed at encouraging mode change which may have been too preoccupied with changing people’s attitudes rather than paying attention to people’s underlying travel preferences.

     

新形势下珠江三角洲集装箱港口的经营战略

近年来,随着区域经济蓬勃发展,珠江三角洲各港口兴建、扩建集装箱码头的热潮风起云涌。深圳、广州、东莞、珠海等地先后推出了本地区港口发展的宏伟计划,并付诸实施。珠江三角洲区域内港口建设新局面的出现,一方面打破了原有市场结构的传统关系,并产生了一些颇具竞争实力的区域干线港及次子干线地位的支线港或喂给港,促进了港口集装箱运输市场的良性发展;另一面,由于一些地方缺乏整体考虑和总体环境下的协调,集装箱码头的建设与经营出现局部失衡,从而导致了该区域各集装箱港口在应付来自周边大港的挑战的同时,相互间展开了争夺集装箱货源激烈的竞争。

Growth of urban transportation: Peoples republic of China

The Peoples Republic of China, with its great urban populations, is finding it necessary to develop a range of strategies to deal with increasing demand for goods and people movement, increasing motorization and the increasing congestion that results from the increasing travel demand. This paper discusses strategies being adopted in two northern cities, Changchun and Shenyang. Both transit and roadway programs are examined for Changchun. Problems and successes of a new toll road are examined for Shenyang. Sustained infrastructure investment is essential to assure the necessary mobility for economic growth.
