This paper examined the day-to-day variability of the journey-to-work trips, including the departure time, route choice, and trip chaining behavior, using GPS-based disaggregate morning commute data of 56 drivers during a one-week period. Data were collected from the ongoing instrumented vehicle projects in Atlanta sponsored by NHTSA and FHWA. The paper examines alternate measurements of the da...

INTRODUCTION Active commuting is associated with a reduced risk of several chronic diseases, but few studies have considered institutional factors that influence it. We examined the association between cultural and physical workplace supports for active commuting and employee active commuting behavior. METHODS Data were collected from employees (N = 375) in Manhattan, Kansas, via an online su...

Daily commuting of workers is a complex phenomenon that has long attracted research attention and, despite the significant literature acknowledging differences between morning and evening commuting, trips to from work are considered symmetric in much prior research. We explore asymmetries time spent work, seven countries, using detailed use records Multinational Time Use Study (MTUS). focus on ...

This work reconsiders the concept of community-based trip sharing proposed by Hasan et al. (2018) that leverages structure commuting patterns and urban communities to optimize sharing. It aims at quantifying benefits autonomous vehicles for sharing, compared a car-pooling platform where are driven their owners. In considered problem, each rider specifies desired arrival time her inbound (commut...

OBJECTIVE To assess the predictors of uptake and maintenance of walking and cycling, and of switching to the car as the usual mode of travel, for commuting. METHODS 655 commuters in Cambridge, UK reported all commuting trips using a seven-day recall instrument in 2009 and 2010. Individual and household characteristics, psychological measures relating to car use and environmental conditions on...

This study analyzes the effect of accessibility to jobs and houses at both the home and work ends of trips on commuting duration for respondents to a household travel survey in metropolitan Washington, DC.
