<title>Abstract</title> Nationwide Transport Surveys and Time‐Use Surveys both reflect the daily agendas and schedules of the reporting individuals and should therefore yield comparable indicators of travel behaviour; for instance: immobility rate (share of persons not leaving the home on any one day), daily...

In most industrialised countries, it can be seen that urban mobility and car traffic have stagnated since the early 2000s. In France, the report on traffic conducted by the National Transport Accounts Commission shows a similar break in the trend, which was confirmed by household travel surveys...

<title>Abstract</title> The aim of the present study is to evaluate the possible extent of modal shifts from car use to ‘alternative modes’ (public transport, cycling, walking) without any change in individual patterns of activity. Its approach is based on a transfer procedure that allows the simulation of...

Improvements of transport systems in big conurbation (higher speed and lower cost of individual mobility) have contributed to the reduction of urban areas density and have led to dominant use of the car and a dramatic reduction in walking and cycling, while the use of public transport has...

Long term forecasting of mobility is a major challenge for urban transport planning. The demographic approach based on data from repetitive surveys makes it possible to get insight in the dynamics of behaviours for individuals belonging to different generations at various stages of their life...

Bussière (Yves), Armoogum (Jimmy), Madré (Jean-Loup). - Are we Close to Saturation ? A Demographic Approach to the Number of Cars per Household in Three Urban Regions Given the limited range of traditional models which are often based on an assessment of the effects of income at one point in...

This paper investigates trends in the travel behaviour of young adults in Germany, France, Great Britain, Japan, Norway, and the USA over the past few decades with a focus on car availability and car travel. The trend analysis relies on micro-data from over 20 National Travel Surveys from the...

The aim of the present study is to evaluate the possible extent of modal shifts from car use to 'alternative modes' (public transport, cycling, walking) without any change in individual patterns of activity. Its approach is based on a transfer procedure that allows the simulation of the maximal...
