Abstract EN
Understanding people’s attitudes towards proenvironmental travel will help to encourage people to adopt proenvironmental travel behavior.
Revealed preference theory assumes that the consumption preference of consumers can be revealed by their consumption behavior.
In order to investigate the influences on citizens’ travel decision and analyze the difficulties of promoting proenvironmental travel behavior in medium-sized cities in China, based on revealed preference theory, this paper uses the RP survey method and disaggregate model to analyze how individual characteristics, situational factors, and trip features influence the travel mode choice.
The field investigation was conducted in Tangshan City to obtain the RP data.
An MNL model was built to deal with the travel mode choice.
SPSS software was used to calibrate the model parameters.
The goodness-of-fit tests and the predicted outcome demonstrate the validation of the parameter setting.
The results show that gender, occupation, trip purpose, and distance have an obvious influence on the travel mode choice.
In particular, the male gender, high income, and business travel show a high correlation with carbon-intensive travel, while the female gender and a medium income scored higher in terms of proenvironmental travel modes, such as walking, cycling, and public transport.
