The unequal commuting efficiency: A visual analytics approach

Excess commuting measures commuting efficiency by comparing the actual commute with minimum commute in the urban environment. Research gaps exist despite recent methodological advances. Calculating the minimum commute by swapping residences/jobs among workers and using an optimization process and several commuter disaggregation approaches have been used to achieve meaningful estimates. Researchers use disaggregation of workers by occupation type, age, income, and other socioeconomic traits or travel behaviors. Most of these analyses focus on a single socioeconomic class, and may be inadequate to capture the complexity of individuals’ geographic residence and socioeconomic class. Another gap is about demonstrating the acquired statistics. Globally, excess commuting is reported as a single statistic of system-wide commuting efficiency and does not reflect spatial patterns, making visualization difficult. The authors' research aims to fill these gaps.
