Policies that stimulate active transportation (walking and bicycling) have been related to heath benefits. This study aims to assess the potential health risks and benefits of promoting active transportation for commuting populations (age groups 16-64) in six European cities. We conducted a health impact assessment using two scenarios: increased cycling and increased walking. The primary outcom...

In many studies travel behaviour (for example, commuting) is analysed on the basis of a utility function with the distance travelled (d) as one of the arguments. An example is U=U(d,Y-cd,T-td), This standard approach is not without problems, however, since it ignores the fundamental fact that most transport has a derived character: travelling kilometres is not an activity that gives utility per...

Ample evidence shows that ride-sourcing can substitute the existing transport system (i.e., public or private transport). However, effect of type trip commuting station trips) on this substitution is still not fully understood. Therefore, study aims to investigate based trip, i.e., trips as well stations (e.g., airport, terminal, rail station), conducted by vehicles and services. The effects so...

Abstract Previous literature suggests that active commuting has substantial health benefits. Yet, in polluted regions, it can also cause additional risks by increasing riders’ pollution exposure and raising their inhalation rate. We examine the effect of perceived air on stated choices using an on-site survey experiment for 2285 non-automobile commuters Zhengzhou, a heavily city central China. ...

"This paper analyses whether the basic monocentric model of urban structure and commuting explains actual commuting in Europe, i.e. The Netherlands. As in the USA much wasteful commuting is established. The basic model has a low degree of explanatory power. In order to get more in line with actual commuting, the paper elaborates two alternatives to the basic model. Besides a deconcentrated mode...

Leisure trips have become more important in an era where people are increasingly concerned with quality of life. unique that they not as strict mandatory trips, while, at the same time, wider characteristics because their flexibility. Research on leisure from developing countries is still under-represented there a focus commuting trips. This study aims to identify factors influence mode transpo...

This study confirmed the general belief of urban planners that mixed land use promotes walking in Seoul, a metropolis East Asia, by analyzing effect on travel mode choice housewives and unemployed people who make non-commuting trips weekdays. Using binomial logistic regression commuting data, it was found more neighborhood environment’s uses are, pedestrians prefer to walk rather than drive. Th...

Mid-sized cities are usually considered in the literature to be shrinking cities. Some policies promote right-sizing and others revitalization. The relationship between land-use planning mobility having been established, present research issue is focused on whether a policy of revitalizing centers mid-sized favorable low-carbon mobility. Our study investigates commuting trips through two indica...

Human flow data are rich behavioral relevant to people's decision-making regarding where live, work, go shopping, etc., and provide vital information for identifying city centers. However, it is not as easy understand massive relational data, datasets have often been reduced merely the statistics of trip counts at destinations, discarding from origin destination. In this study, we propose an al...

BACKGROUND Active transport to school is associated with higher levels of physical activity in children. Promotion of active transport has therefore gained attention as a potential target to increase children's physical activity levels. Recent studies have recognized that the distance between home and school is an important predictor for active travel among children. These studies did not yet u...
