Abstract

Using Herfindahl–Hirschman Index and the Mobidrive and Thurgau six-week travel diary datasets this paper examines the degree of repetition of individuals’ choices of their daily activity–travel–location combinations. The results show that the repetitiveness of individual activity–travel–mode–location combinations is highly influenced by the individuals’ out-of-home commitments, the intra-household conditions and the availability and the accessibility of the activity locations. Different types of activity have different pattern of repetition. The level of repetition of individual’s daily activity–travel pattern is less correlated to travel mode choice, but more to the individuals’ commitments and obligations. The repetitiveness of mode choices is more related to the conditions or the accessibilities of the activity location, but not directly to the activity itself.

The activities are pick-up/drop-off, private business, work related business, school, work, daily shopping, long-term shopping, leisure and other.

The travel modes are walking, cycling, motorcycle, private vehicle, public transport and other.

Since the original dependent variable (HHI) ranging between zero and one, the dependent variables need to be transformed (with z-transformation) so that the transformed dependent variables can take on negative values as well and are not violating the assumptions of linear regression. Further checks on the distributions of the estimated residuals were also carried out and they are normally distributed and following the assumptions of linear regression.
