Abstract

Transport researchers have traditionally considered the relationships between urban structure and travel patterns at the aggregate level. During the 1960s, they recognised, however, that for a better understanding of such relationships it is necessary to consider the travel behaviour of individuals (Chapin and Hightower, 1965). Since then numerous studies employing disaggregated data at the individual or household level have been undertaken in which the influence on travel behaviour of characteristics of the built environment is modelled alongside a range of other determinants, mostly socio-demographic variables, such as gender, employment status and income.
