Travel Behaviour and Society
Scope & Guideline
Connecting People, Places, and Perspectives on Travel Behavior
Introduction
Aims and Scopes
- Travel Behavior Analysis:
The journal emphasizes empirical research on travel behavior, seeking to understand how various factors influence individuals' travel choices, including socio-economic variables, environmental contexts, and psychological motivations. - Sustainable Mobility Solutions:
A core area of focus is the exploration of sustainable transport alternatives, such as public transit, cycling, and shared mobility services, with the aim of promoting environmentally friendly travel behaviors. - Impact of Technology on Travel:
The journal investigates how emerging technologies, including mobile applications, autonomous vehicles, and digital platforms, reshape travel behavior and mobility patterns. - Socioeconomic Disparities in Travel:
Research often highlights the disparities in travel behavior across different demographics, emphasizing the impacts of income, gender, and age on mobility and access to transportation. - Public Health and Wellbeing:
Another significant focus is on the relationship between travel behavior, public health, and well-being, particularly how mobility influences physical activity and mental health outcomes.
Trending and Emerging
- Post-Pandemic Mobility Patterns:
Research exploring how the COVID-19 pandemic has reshaped travel behaviors, preferences, and patterns has surged, highlighting the need for adaptive mobility solutions in response to global crises. - Digital and Smart Mobility Solutions:
There is a growing emphasis on the role of digital technologies, including Mobility as a Service (MaaS), smart card data, and mobile applications, in facilitating and analyzing travel behavior. - Environmental Sustainability and Climate Impact:
Studies focusing on the environmental impacts of travel behavior, particularly in relation to climate change and sustainable transport practices, are increasingly prominent. - Equity and Accessibility in Transportation:
Emerging research on social equity and accessibility in transportation highlights disparities in mobility access, particularly for marginalized communities and vulnerable populations. - Behavioral Insights and Psychographics:
The integration of behavioral insights and psychographic factors into travel behavior analysis is becoming more prevalent, reflecting a shift towards understanding the psychological drivers behind travel choices.
Declining or Waning
- Traditional Transportation Models:
There is a noticeable decline in research that relies solely on traditional transportation engineering models without integrating behavioral insights or socio-economic factors. - Focus on Single-Mode Transportation:
Research concentrating solely on single-mode transportation (e.g., car travel) has decreased, as there is a growing recognition of the need for multimodal approaches that encompass various transport options. - Static Travel Behavior Studies:
There has been a reduction in static analyses of travel behavior that do not account for dynamic changes over time, particularly in light of the COVID-19 pandemic and its long-term effects on mobility. - Rural Mobility Issues:
Research specifically addressing rural mobility challenges has become less frequent, possibly overshadowed by urban-centric studies that align with contemporary urbanization trends. - Generalized Public Perception Studies:
There is a diminishing focus on broad public perception studies that do not delve into nuanced aspects of travel behavior, as the journal seeks more in-depth analyses.
