POPULATION GROUPS WITH A HOMOGENEOUS TRAVEL PERFORMANCE BY CAR, PUBLIC TRANSPORT AND BICYCLE

BEVOLKINGSGROEPEN MET EEN HOMOGENE VERVOERPRESTATIE PER AUTO, OPENBAAR VERVOER EN FIETS

The purpose of this paper is to classify persons in groups by their socio-economic demographic aspects, in order to homologize the number of kilometers travelled by mode of transportation in these groups as much as possible. In 1978 the Netherlands bureau of statistics investigated travel behaviour by means of a survey of home-based interviews. These observations have been used to classify the population by segmentation methods. Fifteen demographic, socio-economic factors and other factors were considered. The most important factors proved to be car availability, age, personal income, housewives with or without children. These groups differ widely with regard to vehicle use and kilometers travelled.(a) (TRRL)
