Travel Mode Identification with Smartphone Sensors
<p>Personal trips in a modern urban society typically involve multiple travel modes. Recognizing a traveller's transportation mode is not only critical to personal context-awareness in related applications, but also essential to urban traffic operations, transportation planning, and facility …

The impact of peer-to-peer ridesharing on travel mode: Empirical study of Uber effects on travel mode in Seattle
Peer-to-peer ridesharing, as a new travel mode, could be a potential solution to two major transportation issues: congestion and air pollution by reducing inefficient driving and promoting public transit ridership. Uber, as one of the leader transport network company, launched in San Francisco in …

The Effects of Pollution on Travel Mode Choice
… thesis, I analyze how air pollution affects travel mode decisions in China using a large and detailed hourly household-level data set on hourly household-level travel mode decisions in Beijing; and hourly air pollution, weather, wind speed, and wind direction in and around Beijing. I use …

Understanding travel mode choice: A new approach for city scale simulation
Understanding travel mode choice behaviour is key to effective management of transport networks, many of which are under increasing strain from rising travel demand. Conventional approaches to simulating mode choice typically make use of behavioural models either derived from stated preference …

Impacts of Automated Buses on Travel Mode Preference for Different Income Groups and Density Areas
… groups and density areas. The study analyzes travel surveys and then simulates the impact of ABs on travel-to-work mode choices. In particular, the research explores the mode preferences of residents in the Metro Boston Area based on the Massachusetts Travel Survey of 2011 and builds mode …

Longitudinal multilevel models analyzing the trends of land use effects on non-driving travel choice
… numerous studies about land use effects on travel mode choice, and probed for effective policies to reduce driving, since less driving and more non-driving are widely recognized as more sustainable travel behaviors to resolve many environmental, energy and social equity issues. However, most …

Analysis and Prediction of the Commuting Mode Choices in England Using Bayesian Networks
Understanding commuting travel behaviour is crucial for addressing significant issues in sustainability and development. This research aims to develop a novel Bayesian Network (BN) model that enables rapid investigations of complex influences upon travel mode choices through standard travel, place, …

The correlational and causal investigation into the land use-transportation relationships: evidence from the Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area
… light on the correlations between land-use and travel. Yet a crucial knowledge gap still exists in establishing causality between the two. Do changes in land-use characteristics cause behavioral changes in individuals?????? decisions on what transportation means to use for travel? How does …

Modeling preferences for innovative modes and services : a case study in Lisbon
… in many large cities worldwide. Innovative travel modes and services can play an important role in improving the efficiency and sustainability of transportation systems. In this study, we evaluate the preferences for some new modes and services (one-way car rental, shared taxi, express …

Integration of GIS and machine learning techniques to investigate the impact of environmental contexts on travel modes
… of research has adopted the definition of active travel modes. Active travel modes have made a great contribution to overall physical activity and, therefore, it is important to understand the active travels associated with environmental facilitators or barriers in physical activity and …

Miles Matter: Demographics, Distance, and Decision-Making
… have the strongest influence on an individual's travel mode choice depending on the purpose and level of urgency (leisure, essential, emergency) of the trip. I analyze the relationship between spatiotemporal costs conditioned by demographic segmentation using data on population mobility patterns …

BusBuzzard and WideWorld : decreasing the uncertainty of multimodal transportation
Recent research has found that in some cases travel time variance is more important than mean travel time in travel mode choice. This implies shared infrastructure transportation modes prone to service unreliability stand at a disadvantage even if they are on average faster than automobile travel. …

The Effects of the Physical Environment on Physical Activity of Older Adults
… as weather, acculturation, walking purpose, and travel mode, to further understand the complexity of the relationship between the physical environment and older adults' physical activity.

Machine learning and task disambiguation in hand-picked agriculture
Although GPS-based travel data has been studied by many mainly for automated travel mode detection, the area of activity mode detection during harvest still remains an open technical challenge. This thesis proposes and tests a pattern recognition approach to harvest mode recognition from GPS travel …

Accessibility in metropolitan transportation planning : visualizing a GIS-based measure for collaborative planning
… area values are calculated by a gravity- type model that decay inversely to network distance and network time and are dependent on the travel mode desires of the residents of the region. The resultant accessibility raster, a product of collaborative planning, is dependent on the physical …

Integrated urban transportation and land use modeling by application of system dynamics
… within an urban network are both dependent upon travel times between zones in an urban region. These location and accessibility components form the basis of a time dependent feedback structure linking land use and transportation planning. Integrating algorithms for land use allocation, mode …

Modal split analysis for the journey to work
The choice of travel mode for the journey to work is an important aspect in the planning of adequate transportation systems in urban areas. This choice process is complex and consequently a generalized theoretical basis for modal choice is difficult to construct. Nevertheless, empirical modeling of …

The agglomerative role of transportation investment : a comparative analysis of Portuguese and American high-speed rail proposals
… for agglomeration growth over the best existing travel mode by approximately 25% to 125% in Portugal and 15% to 150% in Illinois amongst the case communities.
