SUMMARY:

People seldom travel only for moving around, they travel to attend their needs. In this sense single trips models, largely used on transportation planning, cannot fully represent reality. Models that use chains of trips, also known as tours, may help to solve this problem and better understand mode choice, since literature shows that tours that start by car usually do not use other modes. There is an interest in determining what variables are significant for modeling trip chaining and therefore mode choice. One common set of variables used in travel behavior models is the built environment ones, which effects are understood for mode choice. However, despite the efforts researchers still have to come to an agreement of the effects of land use on trip chaining. This study aims to further understand the influence of the built environment on two aspects of travel behavior: trip chaining complexity and mode choice across different populations. Using the data from the Federal District Urban Mobility Survey, six groups were formed, three income classes divided between workers and non-workers resulting in a total of 30,871 tours. Due to the different nature of data, the trip chaining behavior were modeled through a ordered logit model and mode choice modeled through a multinomial logit model. Results showed that the built environment had an effect on trip chaining, but that different classes are affected by different variables. Difference on the average income of the destination of a person and his home is significant across the studied populations, indicating that the trip chaining process might be sensible to how much one can afford in a region. The mode choice results showed that tours with more stops had a greater probability of using the car over transit, but it had no significant effects on choosing an active mode over car. By analyzing both results the research concludes that large trip chains may not be only in the realm of motorized travel.
