Many applications in transport planning require an understanding of travel patterns separated by mode. To use cellular network data as observations human mobility these applications, classification mode is needed. Existing methods for GPS-trajectories are often inefficient data, which has lower resolution space and time than GPS data. In this study, we compare three geometry-based supervised to...

In the transportation literature in general and the travel behaviour literature specifically, there is no consensus on the representation of weather in behavioural models, ranging from studies that use direct meteorological measurements, such a continuous variable for inches of rainfall or temperature, to indicator variables (which themselves are often subjectively derived) for qualitative weat...

The 20,000-student Boise State University campus is located about 3 km from the center of city Boise. There a significant amount travel between and as students staff to visit restaurants, shops, entertainment centers. Currently, people make this trip by car, shuttle bus, bike, or walking modes. Cars buses, which share same road network, constitute 76% total trips. As congestion expected grow in...

The rapid development of telecommunication network has produced a large amount spatial-temporal information mobile phone users. GPS data are typically collected by smartphones apps, which restricted to small samples the population. Cellular signaling (CSD) usually operators, enables researchers conduct travel behavior analysis entire population at relatively low cost compared GPS. However, extr...

BACKGROUND Although some 300 million Indian children travel to school every day, little is known about how they get there. This information is important for transport planners and public health authorities. This paper presents the development of a self-administered questionnaire and examines its reliability and validity in estimating distance and mode of travel to school in a low resource urban...

STUDY OBJECTIVE To assess the impact of a combined intervention on children's travel behaviour, stage of behavioural change and motivations for and barriers to actively commuting to school. DESIGN A quasi-experimental trial involving pre- and post-intervention mapping of routes to school by active and inactive mode of travel and surveys of "stage of behaviour change" and motivations for and b...

Issue addressed: International studies have consistently found that exposure to air pollutants is higher inside cars than outside. However, few studies have compared personal exposure to air pollutants by travel mode focusing on usual travel patterns. Objectives: To compare the exposure to benzene, toluene, ethylbenzene and xylene (BTEX) and nitrogen dioxide (NO2) for commuters in central Sydne...

Active commuting (AC) to the workplace is a potential strategy for incorporating physical activity into daily life and is associated with health benefits. This study examined the association between health-related factors and mode of travel to the workplace. Methods. A volunteer convenience sample of employed adults completed an online survey regarding demographics, health-related factors, and ...

Modal dispersion data i.e. mode travel time as a function of frequency have been used in inversion schemes that estimate sediment properties in a range-independent environment. This method has been extended to include range-dependent environment. Simulation studies show that range-dependent sediment properties can be extracted if mode dispersion data are obtained for multiple source/receiver lo...
