A novel procedure to survey travel behaviour, time use, and goods consumption from the same individuals
Data requirements for modern transport research have changed in conjunction with the advances of transport models and evolving research topics to better understand mobility choices under budgetary and time constraints. These applications need spatially explicit data on time use, travel, and expenditure. In this work, we present a combination of the official Austrian Household Budget Survey with a subsequent Mobility and Activity survey. This meth…
A tour-based SP-off-RP survey for combined time period and mode choice
This paper reports on a travel survey conducted in Austria in 2019/2020. The aim was to generate 1250 stated preference (SP) interviews using four types of SP experiments, which were based on revealed tours of respondents (tour-based SP-off-RP). The data were to be used as input for a new national tour-based transport model. The core element is a combined time period and mode choice experiment with several innovative new features, which aim to pr…
Assessing commuting-related accessibility inequalities in rural Innviertel, Austria
Investigating heart rate responses of children to active travel
Our article innovatively employs mixed survey methods and heart rate data to quantitatively demonstrate the positive association between engagement in active travel modes and heightened physiological responses in children, elucidating the intricate interplay of subjective perceptions and social interactions during trips, thus offering valuable insights into the health implications of active travel at a trip level. Future research will keep on lev…
Shared mobility beyond urban limits
Today, shared mobility has been widely introduced and promoted in urban areas as an alternative solution for more sustainable travel. At the same time, the potential of shared mobility in smaller cities and rural areas, where the majority of people live and oftentimes, have a car-dependent lifestyle, is still largely unexplored. Benefiting from a series of deployments of shared mobility services in two Austrian rural towns, this study examined th…
The role of unpaid domestic work in explaining the gender gap in the (monetary) value of leisure
The value of travel time savings (VTTS) representing the willingness to pay to reduce travel time, consists of two components: the value of liberating time [equal to the value of leisure (VoL)] and the value of time assigned to travel (VTAT), representing the travel conditions of a trip. Their relative values indicate which dimension to emphasize when investing in transport: speed or comfort. In this paper, we formulate and estimate a framework a…
Out of the city – but how and where? A mode-destination choice model for urban–rural tourism trips in Austria
Rural tourism is dominated by car travel. To attract tourists and facilitate a modal shift, a greater understanding is needed on the factors driving tourist decisions. This paper examines destination and transport mode choices as a combined choice in the context of urban–rural tourism in Austria. To do this, this article explores two different model structures, ultimately using a multinomial logit model, which is rooted in the random utility theo…
A joint time-assignment and expenditure-allocation model
Based on a time-use model with a sound theoretical basis and carefully collected data for Austria, the value of leisure (VoL) for different population segments has been estimated. Through the combination of these results with mode-specific values of travel time savings from a related study based on the same data, the first mode-specific values of time assigned to travel (VTAT) were calculated. Data was collected using a Mobility-Activity-Expendit…
Carsharing in Switzerland
Time use, mobility and expenditure
A large amount of information is required to model the complex trade-off processes between travel activities, non-travel activities and budget assignment at the individual level. This paper describes the development of a new survey design, which incorporates components of travel surveys, time use surveys and consumer expenditure surveys in an integrated format, which is expected to deliver a richer data set allowing deeper insights into individua…
Rational choice in everyday mobility decisions of Austrian employees
Both, the capability of a transport system to grant access to a destination and a traveller’s ability to utilize its opportunities can be distinguished in objective and subjective factors. The paper analyses the potential for objective accessibility factors to explain mobility behaviour. In more detail, the paper (i) quantifies the explanatory power of objective factors of the transport system (supply-side) for mode choice decisions and (ii) anal…
The mountains are calling! An extended TPB model for understanding metropolitan residents' intentions to visit nearby alpine destinations in summer
The influence of external factors on children's travel mode
Women and Men With Care Responsibilities in the Austrian Alps
Accessibility in rural Austrian areas is more restricted than in urban regions. Limited accessibility leads to social exclusion. Therefore, mobility should be inclusive, allowing everyone to satisfy mobility needs and reach destinations. Mobility should also be environmentally friendly. Use of a private car offers opportunities for comprehensive mobility but is related with high individual, social, and environmental costs. We studied the interpla…
