ON THE MOBILITY OF PEOPLE LIVING IN THE PARISIAN SUBURBS MOBILITE DES HABITANTS DE LA BANLIEUE PARISIENNE

The problem of modeling the mobility of people, considering their overall needs for urban transportation in function of their activities and of their socio-economic environment, is approached statistically. Travel behavior is described for a sample of 1600 people polled by questionnaire. The coding and multidimensional analysis techniques employed are explained and shown well-adapted to the complexity of the phenomena studied. Six factors which differentiate the travel behavior of people are indentified. The sample group is then classified into nine subgroups of mobility which are subsequently typified and hierarchically arranged. A time-space structured estimation of demand on public transportation can thus be obtained.
