Abstract:

To date aging is one of the most important issues in society because of its significant socio-economic impacts. Corresponding concerns about the transportation needs of the elderly have led to a focus on the mobility and quality of life of the elderly and motivated various studies of senior mobility. In particular, the frequency of seniors' travel activities heavily relies on how far and easily they can travel. It is of great interest to explore travel behavior of the elderly. The purpose of this study is to investigate the difference of travel behavior between the elderly and the non-elderly groups focusing on travel time budget (TTB), using 2006 household travel diary survey data in Seoul Metropolitan Area. The authors develop partial least square (PLS)-structural equation models to identify major variable to affect TTB of the two groups and then compare the differences between the models. The model results indicate that the significant variables to have effects on TTB are different between the two groups, and their degrees of effects of the same variables are also different with respect to personal and household characteristics.
