Review of trip-chain-based travel activity study of residents

Abstract

The study of traveling behavior of local residents concentrates on illustrating travelling regularities and traffic mode choice, which is significantly important for traffic planning and management policies. Based on travelling chain, this paper systematically combines four parameters, including time dimension, space dimension, and mode dimension and activity types of traffic system together, thus making traffic system into an organism. Compared with traditional research methods, travelling chain method maintains system and wholeness successfully, which catches the attention both domestically and abroad.
