This article investigates the Greek household travel demand for domestic interurban public transportation using cross-sectional micro-data from a countrywide Household Budget Survey. A number of limited dependent variable models, including the Heckit, Two-Part, and Double-Hurdle models, are implemented to jointly estimate the probability of selecting a specific mode and the amount of using it. ...

BACKGROUND Walking to school is associated with higher levels of physical activity. The purpose of this study was to examine the relationship between school travel mode and physical activity using a sampling frame that purposefully locates schools in varying neighbourhoods. METHODS Cross-sectional survey of 785 children (10.57 ± 0.7 years) in Toronto, Canada. Physical activity was measured by...

Transport systems are full of interactions between the demand for travel and the supply costs. As the demand increases, congestion builds up in the network and the costs of travel increases. In response to increased costs of travel, people may alter their demand for travel in terms of change of route, departure-time, mode, or choose not to travel. This demand/supply interaction enables an econo...

local bus network is the most popular transit mode and the only available transit mode in the majority of cities of the world. increasing the utility of this mode which increases its share from urban trips is an important goal for city planners. timetable setting as the second component of bus network design problem (network route design timetable setting vehicle assignment crew assignment) hav...

This study investigated the association between a change in travel mode to school and one-year changes in physical activity (PA) among children in Hong Kong. Data from 677 children aged 7-10 years (56% boys) who participated in the Understanding Children's Activity and Nutrition (UCAN) study were analyzed. During the 2010/11 and 2011/12 school years, the children wore an accelerometer for a wee...

It will be argued that the inclusion in the experimental design of contextual clues, such as “label” or “virtual simulations”, which make the laboratory task familiar, proved that problem solving in decision-making under uncertainty is environmentdependent. This supports the belief that the context-free experiment is not only an elusive goal, but also an inappropriate tool to investigate cognit...

This paper addresses the relationship between land use and destination selection, and the question of destination selection on travel mode choice. Specifically, this work focuses on internalized trips, a sub-category of trip making where both trip origin and trip destination are contained in the same geographic unit of analysis. This investigation uses data from the 1994 Household Activity and ...
