Traditionally, urban travel demand studies consider work trips as the main constituent of daily trips which consequently attract considerable analytical attention to transport choice and especially modal choice. However, with the increase in traffic-related problems coupled with evolving lifestyles, it has become imperative to focus on trips intended for other purposes including shopping which, in most urban contexts, represents the second most commonly undertaken trips after those for work. The chapter aims to develop an overview of modes used for shopping trips and to highlight the factors which influence a trip maker’s mode choice behaviour according to empirical evidence.

Abstract
Traditionally, urban travel demand studies consider work trips as the main constituent of daily trips which consequently attract considerable analytical attention to transport choice and especially modal choice. However, with the increase in traffic-related problems coupled with evolving lifestyles, it has become imperative to focus on trips intended for other purposes including shopping which, in most urban contexts, represents the second most commonly undertaken trips after those for work. The chapter aims to develop an overview of modes used for shopping trips and to highlight the factors which influence a trip maker’s mode choice behaviour according to empirical evidence.| File | Dimensione | Formato | |
