Investigation of Spatial Structural Change of Trip Generation between Neo-Traditional and Conventional Neighborhoods

초록

The neo-traditional, mixed land use neighborhood typically generates fewer auto trips compared to conventional neighborhood. The research question here is whether the common trip generation model based only on auto ownership and household size is adequate for the neo-traditional neighborhood. This study uses the Chow-test and the bootstrap Chow-test to assess the similarity of travel behavior between a neo-traditional and a conventional neighborhood design. Results show that the common relationship between the number of trips and two explanatory variables, auto ownership and household size, can not reveal the underlying relationship between neighborhood design and trip generation. Therefore, it is suggested that the commonly used trip generation model explained by auto ownership and household size needs to be replaced by an alternative model that is able to capture the travel behavior changes of neo-traditional neighborhoods.
