Title: A Disaggregate Investigation of Demand Patterns for Paratransit
Accession Number: 01154371
Record Type: Component
Availability: Transportation Research Board Business Office 500 Fifth Street, NW Abstract: The demand for specialized transportation services is growing at an exponential rate. This makes it harder for operators to determine the profile of their clientele and hence to meet their travel needs. Socio-demographic attributes and precise geo-localization using x-y coordinates can contribute to a more accurate characterization of demand. This experiment uses complete operational archived data to perform an in-depth descriptive analysis, exploring specific types of consumption according to multiple attributes of the clientele. The dataset consists of 26,517 recorded trips undertaken by 5,802 users during a four-day period in November 2007. The categorization of users according to individual characteristics (such as demographic structure and type of disability) reveals unique signatures of different user types. The results also offer valuable insight into the application of a passively collected data framework to describe paratransit demand based on observed individual travel behavior.
