Abstract:

Recent technological advances have led to the availability of a wider range of data for travel behaviour modelling. In particular, physiological data such as eye-tracking information, skin conductance, heart rate recordings and electroencephalogram (EEG) have emerged as promising sources of information to gain insights on the decision-making process as well as the decision-maker’s condition or state-of-mind. However, research on methodologies to utilise these data sources and to integrate them with mobility data for advancing the state-of-the-art travel behaviour models is still very limited. In this paper, the authors discuss the key benefits of using the emerging sources of physiological data and review applications of different types of physiological data, highlighting their strengths and weaknesses. Particular attention is paid to the different possible frameworks for integrating these types of data into econometric choice models of travel behaviour. The authors detail a number of important steps for driving work with physiological data forwards, and conclude by demonstrating that there is significant scope for future methodological and applied work with physiological data.
