Basic Characteristics of Recreational Trip Chaining Behavior : Activity-Based Analysis

概要

論文の詳細を見る
The purpose of this paper is to analyze recreational trip chaining behaviors under timespace constraints. The recreational trips included in these chains are characterized as a concentration into the specific time of a day and the affected district of the studied area. This analysis becomes important because recreational trips are often the cause of serious traffic congestion on highways and arterial roads on holidays. In this paper, an activity-based approach is applied to explain recreational trip chaining. The concept of the time-space prism is first introduced for the purpose of describing those travel and activity linkages under temporal and spatial constraints. Secondly, the differences in recreational behaviors by access-distance are focused on in relation to the temporal utility profile. The study shows that temporal constraints underly recreational trip chaining behavior. This paper presents that, under this constraint, tourists arrange the utilities obtained from recreational activities with the disutility related to the travel time. This paper also discusses how the access-distance will determine the formation of recreational trip chaining behavior when taking typology of the utility profiles into consideration.
