Abstract

The approach defines the process of conducting an empirical research of the travel behavior patterns of residents of Vilnius city. It defines survey methodology and important mobility parameters such as activity sequences and their probabilities of homogeneous urban population segments during the weekday. This empirical research is based on a travel diary survey that was planned and executed in cooperation with Vilnius Municipality during preparation of sustainable mobility plan. The following work describes the research object, the questionnaire design, sampling strategy and the analysis of results based on characteristics of respondents. An innovative activity sequence-focused travel behavior research approach designed to collect data for a tour-based travel demand model.
