The Structure of Movement and Household Travel Behaviour

Abstract

Transportation studies to date have tended to take a macroscopic view of movement patterns. The tripmakers responses to the transport system are frozen as habit patterns. To fully understand these patterns however and to increase the possibility of predicting behaviour, a more detailed study of travel motivation is suggested. Some exploratory conceptualisations, including that of 'movement space' are explored. Travel motivation is broken down into goals, and occurrences, and such allied concepts as positional utility and life cycle are examined. Further research is indicated to clarify household travel decision making.
