The influence of land use on travel behavior: specification and estimation strategies
Introduction
The potential for casual links between
urban form
and
travel behavior.
This is to reduce travel by car.
Reducing the surface street distance between location.
Alternative transportation
Walking
Bicycling
Transit
Pedestrian "friendly
" enviroments are all associated with
less car travel.
(linkages studies)
Methodologies
Most common methods used are...
Simulations
Descriptions
Multivariate statistical analysis
Theres a measure in the
density
and the
demographic characteristics
with wich the
significance, sings and magnitude
are examine with the extimated
coefficient on the density
Descriptive studies
: this type of studies
provide hard data
.
The thing with this methods is that they can lack behavioral content with doing the studies.
Estimation
The trip prices hava a impact caused by the land use variables on the non-work auto trips generation.
When theres no link between the
land use
and the
trip price
, evidence does not exist to prove that theres a link between the
land used
and the
trip generation
.
Specification
There are several dimensions to the problem of how to study the linkages between
land use
and
travel
Systematic behavioral theory of
travel demand.
Travel
is a
derived demand
and the
demand for trips
is based on the
demand for activities
and
goods that require travel.
Theory of
microeconomics.
Consumer demand theory
but this one
does not focus
on a
individual demand.
We can not explore how all of these individual demands interact with each other.
Summary and discussion
By changind the price of travel, the land use and the design proposals end up influencing the travel behavior.
With the use of regression models we can assume that causakity comes from land use and urban design for the travel behavior.
