Title: Modelling activity-travel choice behaviour in transport networks for a low-carbon future
Abstract: With the acceleration of urbanization in many regions, the intensity of human activities and the demand for transportation continue to increase. Residents’ daily activity-travel choice behaviours in transport networks are the main sources of carbon emissions in urban areas. Based on an activity-based travel analysis approach, this study explores how to relate residents’ complicated activity-travel choice behaviours to carbon emissions in transport networks. Influencing factors and measurements of carbon emissions from residents’ activity-travel choices are introduced. We try to understand the activity-travel choice behaviour for a low-carbon future using both the network equilibrium approach and data-driven approach. Some strategies for low-carbon transport management such as carbon credit charge scheme are discussed to jointly optimize urban land use plan and transport networks.
